Exporting a 30 minutes seq in less than 10 minutes
I got a final 30 minutes seq that I like to quickly put on the ipod for easy viewing on a tv monitor. I noticed fcp doesn’t have ipod export settings but anything close to what it needs to be for ipod takes at least an hour or two. Is there a quick and good enough export setting that might take less than the actual running time of the seq? I got a mackbook pro intel 1gb ram

I’m trying to create just a qt reference from my seq, so I go to export-quick time-settings as current and no contained movie selected. Stills take more than the running time of the sequence, is it still writing media even though the contained movie is unchecked? I don’t have anything red or not render in my seq.
thanks.

Pedro,
Which is your sequence codec?
If is HDV or XDCAM each cut means to rebuild a GOP.
To export a Reference Movie you need to have ALL the sequence rendered.

Are you sure?
Select All and Option-R to be sure.
About the compression speed, normally: The faster, the lower quality.

First let me say that playing a video from an iPod is not the best way to show quality of video. However the fastest way to create a file that will play on an iPod, is to export a reference video file from FCP and then use the turbo.264HD from Elgato. The turbo.264HD is a USB hardware encoder that significantly speeds up the time it takes to create h.264 files.
