Exporting to QT very slow
I have a 10 minute sequence (made up of several .movs, jpegs with motion keyframes and some Boris 3D text. Rendering is taking about 2 mins but my G5 (Dual 2GHz, 1.5GB SDRAM) is asking for about 2 hrs to export to QT.
I looked up the archive earlier which suggested trashing FCP preferences, I did and the same sequence exported in 5 mins. Since then I’ve had to make new amends and despite several more attempts at the trashing Prefs option it will not give any less than 2 hours as an export time. Any reasons why, help really appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Maria-luisa,
Once that the time-line has being rendered all the exporting to QT should be fast, In fact is just write toguether all the rendered pieces.
Before that trashing prefferences or re-installing FC or so, I would recommend you to make sure that your system is optimiced. In my experience the most of the problems get away with a good maintenance, permissions repaired and clean directories.
If I would be in your situation, the first think I would do it would be just re-start the computer.
Cheers,
Rafael
PS: Normally when I render or expot, I open the Activity Monitor. It can help you to know if the rendering is going well or if there is a problem. -
Thank you for that Rafalaos, I will try your suggestions.

Make sure that in the Sequence > Render All and Sequence > Render Selection menus that all of the options have a check mark next to them, including full. When they are all checked, hit option-r to render all. Then when you export, make sure that recompress all frames is not checked. my guess is that you aren’t rendering all of your rt effects and when you go to export, FCP needs to bake those in upon export which will slow down the export process to a crawl.

Hi Jeremy
That does seem to have been the problem, thanks for the tip.
