why so slowwww?
I’m editing only 3 minutes of uncompressed QT’s 1828 X 778 on my ProMac quad core w/ 2G’s of ram. When I render the timeline, it says it will take 25 minutes. I’m watching the graphical readout of all 8 cores and they only use on average 3-5% of their processing speed. What gives? Have I not optimized the system correctly? Shake by contrast pushes all the processors to the top. Any ideas?

Give us your system specs. I’m guessing yoooour Haaaard Driiiives are nooooot Faaaaast enouuuuuugh. More RAM wouldn’t hurt. 1828 x 778 is an odd aspect ratio.

Besides your hard drives probably not being fast enough (your main problem). FCP itself is not made to use more than two cores. No matter what you add to your machine, it’ll still only use two (inside of FCP). When you’re exporting, you can use all 8 if you use Compressor and have a virtual cluster set up.
