Q: Sharing my project takes forever
I wonder what I am doing wrong...
I have an iMac i7 (Late 2015) with 16 GB ram and 3TB fusion drive.
I shot a 5 camera multi cam project and edited it in FCP X, the project is 1.5 hrs in length. I also used iDustrial Revolution sports graphics on it (http://www.idustrialrevolution.com/x6-sports-graphics).
The edit process was already a pain, the editor would simply drop frames on playback.
But when I try to share it Youtube, I really hit a problem.
Share to Apple devices (Apple TV) at least completed, even though it took about 13 hours to do so. But when I try to share it to Youtube, it progresses in a painstaikingly slow matter.Last night it had been doing it for about 15 hours and was at 50%, when the iMac decided that this would be a good time to do updates and it ended up aborting the share.
My theory is, that as I have the event and project files on the same fusion drive as the OS, this is causing the bottleneck. I am prepared to buy a Thunderbolt drive, and copy everything there if I can be at least half certain that it would solve the issue....
Any other ideas what I am doing wrong ? Never had issues like this before.
