FCPX export slow but cpu usage is slow

[Wally Yoshimura]

Thanks for trying to help.
I actually just did what you said and here is the result

Is this normal???

btw, I am exporting when I took this screenshot.

Thanks for the screengrab.

Tell me more about your timeline.

Where is the lower third from? What happens if you turn that layer off and export?

What is inside the text compound clips?

Also, what’s the “tracking” title? Just an FCPX effect or published Motion effect?

If you import an h264 MOV file with the “create optimized media” option checked, what happens to the CPU meter?

Thanks again for trying to help Jeremy.

The timeline is full of motion transitions and keyframes.
Just turning off a lower third filter or a transition won`t make much a difference.

Now I`ve experienced a few things with the activity monitor turned on and I think I`ve found another problem with my project.

When I export a Video footage in FCPX 16 cores run at a decent speed so all cores are running fast and solid.
However, when I exported this project which is only pictures with lots of motion/keyframes only 8 cores are recognized and they run at a very slow speed rate for some reason. (pictures were down scaled for the project)

So after all 8 cores were running so I was wrong. They just run at a very low speed rate for some reason.
It may be something to do with the OS so I`ll try upgrading to Mountain Lion and see what happens.

I think Claude has the answer. There’s something weird about the Motion templates.

I’d send a bug report to Apple.
