    Posted by Christina Rule on February 8, 2009 at 3:03 am

    I am running mac osx dual 2gHz power pc g5
    memory 4.5GB DDR2 SDRAM

    I have a seq under 3 min that is AJA 2vuy codecs 30fps ( they are 3d movies coming out of maya)
    The render is about 3 hours when i try and render it as a Sorenson 3 and change the res to 1000=583 ( from 720p) last time i rendered it it was 2 hours and this time it was 3… I did add a few more tracks of video but is this normal? or am i doing something wrong?

    Hello, Christina. I think we went over this once, but a dual 2.0 G5 is not a very fast computer, especially when working with uncompressed content.

    That being said, what program are you using to transcode the uncompressed to Sorenson?

    Also what connection are you using for you media drives, and is the drive a raid? Both of those things could definitely effect how fast you can render.

    There are no “technical solutions” to your “artistic problems”.
    Don’t let technology get in the way of your creativity!

    And how are you making these Sorenson movies? You aren’t just chaing the size and codec in FCP are you?

    Yeah, it’s just going to be slow. That’s not a very fast machine.

    Remember this conversation?
