Increasing Render Speed in Final Cut Pro

[Janandhisfiets]

Time saver. I got great render speed after this.

Thanks for the tip, however on my MacPro (1.1) 2006 with an ATI 5770 HD card 8GB RAM and 2X2 3Ghz CPUs, RGB mode actually renders slower than 10bit YUV? I'm using Apple ProRes 422 (HQ).

With the uncertain future of the MacPro hardware line and the death of FCP for FCPX (which I can't stand to work in) ... I'm hoping/looking for solutions to speed up my editing process ... it's painfully slow. Any more tips?

@robainscough Use Avid

Thank you thank you thank you!! The only other info out there was a bunch of guys trying to get me to degrade ALL the footage using MpegStream clip... after that they still have to render ever 4 mins if they used the nearly any of the vast list of effects!

Yes, I love your voice too- very soothing.

I'm a fan of FCP 7 (will move to AE when I get more time)- X marks the spot of FCP's grave (though Motion 5 and Compressor are OK).

hi i have a whole music video that was exported Microsoft AVI(Uncompressed) from Adobe premiere but i want color correction in Final Cut pro. Is it possible to work with 60gig uncompressed AVI files in Final cut?

Hey Alan, is there anyway i could render 2 or more sequences at the same time???

Thanks dude

@naivepunk

File>User Preferences>Auto Render (at the bottom right of the first tab)

Select "render open sequences" and make sure you have the ones you want rendered open!

@AlanTheEditor

You rock dude, i´ll try that way, u saved me a lot of time

[galaxyhorsevideofilm]

@naivepunk Also try CMD-clicking all the sequences you want to render in your browser window, and then hitting OPT-R. It's a beautiful feeling to hit render on five sequences before you take off for lunch, and have them all finished by the time you get back :)

im pretty sure it just slowed down a bunch lol

[satorian]

didnt work for me!

[lukavivid]

[dropoutnotbombs]

well that didn't work...

[CanCemo]

@dropoutnotbombs if it Didn't Work Your Mac IS Already Super Fast So No Need to do This, That's With me 2

[Dattack77]

can you make the same video again but for final cut express?

Sweet

[jameschens]

good tip to help speed up editing. Would be great if there was a way to separately configure video rendering while Exporting.

[Dom24seven]

this is a really well put together video 5/5 good info too

[TheunforgivingCam]

i was editing some 12 min footage, and of course it turned out to be 2-3 mins long. And it took my render speed down by and hour! great! then it only took 20 ins to render the finished project but thats cause half of it had gone :P Great work!
