export times
I am wondering if taking a hour to export a 2:30 long project to a 1080P h.264 file is normal? I am using the original media, h.264 files from a Nikon D7000 and they play fine on my machine. I have several effects on half the files, including Neat Video noise reduction. Should I use background rendering or not? (I am using it now) Also I am using the X264 codec. Is that slowing me down? I am thinking about how long it will take to export a 15-20 minute project. All day?
I am using a MBP, 2.5 GHZ, 8 GB RAM, my events and projects are on a separate firewire 800 7200 rpm external drive, OS 10.7.4, FCPX 10.0.5.
Thanks
