Sloooow export
I’m currently trying to export a wmv file (40 minutes long). Source is 1920×1080, trying to make a 800×450 wmv. It’s telling me about 15 hours remaining right now. It’s not fx-heavy, just three video layers and audio. It’s never taken this long before. I just cleaned out the temp files (about 20gb). Should I stop it and restart? Or is there something else to try? Thanks.

Hi Tim,
Tell us about your system hardware – Mac, PC? Specs? Any special filters applied that you don’t normally use? Just read another thread where a DeNoiser effect was the culprit, takes an exceptionally long time to render.

I have a PC running windows 7, Intel Core i7 CPU, 8 gb ram. I really haven’t done anything fancy with this project. Just mostly cuts, some cropping and audio adjustments. The cropping may be a culprit now that I think about it. But right now, it’s telling me that it’s at 7% complete with about 13 hours remaining (I started it over an hour ago). I just don’t remember it taking this long to export something. Thanks for your help!

Hi Tim,
Do you have GPU acceleration enabled on your machine? That is an extremely slow render for what you are doing.

I’m not sure. Can you tell me where to check for that? Thanks.

Project > Project Settings > General
Look at “Renderer” and it will say “Software only” or “GPU Accelerated”. Do you have an Nvidia display card, and if so, which model? Some that don’t work automatically can still be coaxed into activity pretty easily.
Thanks

It says “Mercure Playback Engine Software Only” and it’s grayed out. Not sure about the card.

Right-click on the Desktop and hit “Properties” and then look under the Settings tab, should mention your display card, or look in Device Manager
