  Is My Rendering Speed Normal?

  Posted by Amber Miller on July 25, 2010 at 10:10 pm

  I am capturing HDV footage via firewire using the HDV-ProRes 422 capture preset.
  Final Cut Pro 6

  Sequence settings are set to:

  Frame Set: 1440x 1080
  Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1440x 1080
  Compressor: Apple ProRes 422
  8 Bit Processing

  Mac Pro:
  2 x 3GHZ Quad Core Intel Xeon
  I had 6 gigs of ram but I took 2 out because I read the Final Cut should go by pairs of either 2, 4, 8, 16
  I am getting ECC Errors on one of my memory sticks. Should I be worried about this?

  External Hard Drive:
  2 TB Western Digital My Book Studio Edition II
  Set to Raid 0 (Mac OSX Extended- Journaled)
  No Partition
  Esata Cable

  ** So, Right now… I have a 3:30 min video.
  4 Video Layers
  1 Audio Layer
  Very bottom layer has 1 color corrector
  Top 3 layers all have a desaturated filter

  ESTIMATED TIME TO RENDER THIS IS 45 MINUTES.

  Does this sound right or could there be something else possibly going on?

  Thanks for the advice!

  That sounds about right. BUT… I would take your memory to 4 gig. It may shave off some of that time.
