  Merged ProRes clips to individual exported ProRes clips SLOW?

  FCP7 used to export ProRes clips to ProRes encoded media in seconds. I merged some clips for a client in Premiere and am exporting them to merged ProRes files for them to take home and cut with the clean audio. I anticipated the initial clips to take a while going from the A7S clips to ProRes but once they were ProRes, I figured all would be easy-going from there. Seems it’s taking just as long to go ProRes 1920×1080 29.976 to ProRes 1920×1080 29.976 as it did going from the A7S .mp4 files to ProRes 1920×1080 29.976.

  I just don’t get why it’s not the same process FCP7 would do. If it weren’t so late, I would stop it, export an XML, import it to FCP7, and batch export from there. But I have all night so I’ll let it go the 3 hours it’ll probably take based upon my original encode. But moral is — what gives? Would love to know what I may be missing.

  TL;DR: A7S to ProRes 422 1080p 29.976 to merged ProRes 422 1080p 29.976 taking FOREVER. Codecs, Frame Sizes and rates match. What gives?
