Exporting Is SO SLOW in 10.1.2 Update
Has anybody else had problems with their exporting times in the new 10.1.2 update? I don't know what the problem is....
MacBook Air, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)

Are you possibly exporting at Best Quality (pro res)? That takes longer because considerably larger file size.
OTherwise, you might check whether you have sufficient space (20 GB) on your boot drive.

SAME HERE. I have the newest MacBook Pro 13" Retina-i5 processor and 8GB of RAM with over 150 GB of storage left. It's taking over 15 minutes to produce a 4:46 video under these settings: 720P, Video Quality: Medium, Compress: Faster. On my old MAC from 2010 with i3 and 8 GB of space, it would take about 30 seconds to produce a 1080P video with max for other properties. Something is weird with Apple's updates. That's why I'm saving up for Final Cut Pro.
Yep... Same here 😟
NOpe, I'm on really low settings but thanks for the tips!
I have read that if the desktop is cluttered with too many files it can slow down the computer for intensive processing apps like iMovie. I forget the technical reason for that. Just a thought in case this might apply to your situation.
Also, you can't have too much RAM.
Not the case-it's iMovie. I tried rendering a longer video in higher quality in Final Cut Pro, and it took less than one minute, as opposed for 20 minutes for a way smaller file in iMovie.
Same problem here.
MacBook Pro Retina Late 2013 - 16GB RAM - El Crapitan 10.11.2, iMovie 10.1.2, 100GB free space
Writing a 10 minute video in lowest possible settings: 540p, Low, Faster - Took 60 minutes!!!
What is going on!!! First horrific performance with a NAS, now this. All after I "updated" to Crapitan.
I'm going to try to turn every other app off and see if that affects anything.
Hmmm. Maybe in the sharing dialogue box you checked the box that automatically shares to theater. That can slow down the sharing process. If so, try unchecking it and see if the sharing time speeds up.
I've got the same problem. MacBook Pro Retina late 2015 with 16Gb Ram - El Crapitan 10.11.5, iMovie 10.1.2, 100's of Gb of free space.
I'm trying to get a 20 min audio out and it's 60 mins+.
It wasn't like this 24 hours ago when I exported a file. Has there been an software update to El Capitan or iMovie in the last 24 hours?
