  Rendering Motion content takes forever???

  Posted by Marco Giordani on January 31, 2008 at 7:35 pm

  Hi,

  Since I upgraded to FCS2 and Leopard my sequences with motion content take very very long to render?
  I don’t understand why? Any suggestions?

  Thanks in advance.

  Go to your Sequence Settings > Render Control and set the Motion projects settings to Quality = Normal and uncheck “Always Use Best Quality When Rendering Movies”.

  Thanks,
  But what exactly will happen to the quality when I export it to a quicktime movie? And compress it in bit vice to MPEG 2?

  I didn’t know I could do that 🙂

  If you were happy how it looked in FCP5 then that’s the same as “Normal” quality in FCP6.

  The Best quality option was introduced in FCP6 but it makes a big difference to the render time.
