  render time

  Render times question.

  Macbook pro 2.5ghz
  4 gigs ram

  2TB external raid for media connected Tempo SATA Pro ExpressCard/34
  a broadcast monitor connected dvi-d (yes, digital signal just to have a second monitor for canvas). It is calibrated but not a true analog signal.

  Just an example of current render time:

  2 Hour timeline.
  10 minute clip

  Applying 3 way color correction: auto 3 way color correction for blacks, mids, and whites, using dropper to set white balance. Increasing mids a bit to lighten up exposure levels. (Live performance with poor lighting).

  Render taking almost an hour. Is this normal for this mac or do I need some software maintenance?
