I'm compressing some clips, all are 3-5 minutes short clips. These used to only take maybe an hour each on my laptop, now they are taking 7-9 hours each since the update.
Anyone else noticing this, or what could be making it so slow?
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thank you!
Are you exporting in FCP X or Compressor?
What settings are you using for export?
What are the clip size, format? What mac model, OS version, RAM, disk space available?
Even 1 hour seems a lot for a 5 minute clip.
My settings haven't changed, always takes a while. Now it take forever.
H.264 , mp4, 8000 bit rate, clips are 5 min. or less ... MacBook Pro retina display, Yosemite 10.10.3, 2.6 MHz processor, 16GB ram, 500 GB harddrive.
Exporting them from Final Cut Pro X to Compressor, I was told you have to go through compressor to transcode them into self-playing movies.

There are many many options to export inside FCP X.
I own Compressor but I have hardly used it in almost 4 years.
I fail to see what you mean by "self-playing movies". A movie is a movie. FCP X can export to mp4 with H264 codec by itself.
I do it regularly. Most of my movies are about 25 minutes long and take LESS than real time to share to H264 from FCP X directly.
Thank you Luis,
How do I export within Final Cut Pro X? I see to share it to YouTube and DVD, but want to put a movie file on my desktop.
Appreciate the help.

Oh, question: What would you use compressor for, what's it's purpose?
File->Share->Master File...
This will export a Quicktime movie using the H264 codec.
If you need is as an mp4, change the "Format" in the picture above to "Computer":
Thank you Luis,
Much appreciated, that worked much faster. I thought you had to use compressor with Final Cut Pro X.
Thank you,

Compressor slow since Final Cut Pro X 10.2 Update!
