5 minute render of 6 second Motion graphic in FCP?

[Walter Biscardi]

what are you rendering? Render time is wholly dependent on what you’re creating, what resolution, what size, how many layers, how many filters, your processors, your ram, your graphics card, etc….

I have 10 second animations that take 10 minutes and others that take 5 hours. A 2 layer animation will render faster than a 720 layer animation with many layers of light burst.

Walter’s right. Also if you are using particle emmitters this can increase render time significantly. Especially if you are using sparkles which have a high birthrate.

alrighty. just checking to see that i’m not completely abnormal. i guess i should count my blessings that i haven’t made a 720 layer puppy with particle emitters!
