  • Long time to output QT conversion?

    Posted by Margaret Moore on October 12, 2009 at 8:52 pm

    Why is it taking forever to export high quality quick times to external HD from Final Cut. 5 minutes = almost 1 hour..? I have a 6 year old G5 with lots o memory but really I need to understand this.
    Thanks for any insight in advance.

    Hello, Some more details about what you are trying to output is needed. What type of QT files are you creating. Are they HD, NTSC, Animation, you know, that kind of thing. A five minute QT shouldn’t really take that long to output, so perhaps your frame size or something in the QT settings for the type of output you desire is amiss. Send more info. Thanks STU

    I know alot….but not as much as the other guy.
