Thanks bro…. Thanks 4 spending your valuable time for me…..

I tried 2nd option… converting sequence codec to ProRes since i want HD version of the project…but rendering takes lot of time… i ‘ll try rendering some part of the video bcz i’m running out of time… n try to export in ProRes… so lemme try…i ‘ll be back…. I should have asked this before starting the project… No problem… helpful for my future projects…

Once again thanks !! thanks a lot !!

Hi Jesus Ali,

These are my time line settings:
Frame Size : 1920×1080
Pixel aspect Ratio: Square
Compressor : H264

My Raw videos are captured in H264 codec….

I exported to .MOV with h264 codec using “Quick time conversion“… Yesterday it took more than 10 hrs to export… i’m using“fcp 7”

My system configuration:
Core 2 duo
4gb ddr2 RAM
320gb HD

I need to write the final exported file on DVD..i’m using iDVD to burn on DVD… also convert to .mp4 format….

Which is the best option?? should i use mpegstreamclip? or QT ?

Hi all… Pls help me guys…. I’m new to fcp…

Currently i’m working on HD project… Details of raw files are given below
Res : 1920×1080
codecs : H264
bit rate : 45886

Final movie is of 1 hr… How do i export it ??
currently i’m exporting through quick time conversion with h264 codec… but it takes quite a long time… 7 -8 hrs
Why is it taking so much time to export ?? or else i’m doing something wrong??

In between i also got an error saying “Out of memory”

Also can any one suggest how to use ProRes for faster exporting , less size, quality movie ??

i’m really struggling to export the work …please help !!
