Slow render on an iMac 27" late 2013. FCXPro takes a lot of time to render on a iMac 27" late 2013 with i5, NVIDIA GeForce GT 755M 1 GB and 16gb memory. Would it be of any help if I upgraded the Graphics card and the memory up to 32gb?

Rendering becomes slow Hi, I have just started editing footage in Adobe Premier Pro for the first time on my new Studio, booting up from cold and rendering 30 seconds of text effects, the Studio starts off like a rocket and renders in a few minutes...fantastic! Then I add a second text effect and re-render and it slows like a snail taking 45 minutes to render 15 seconds of extra footage. I'm sure this should not happen. I have removed my external timemachine drive, I don't have an anti-virus or extra software running in the background. This is not the performance I expected after spending £3,200. It seems to be running no better than my previous 2019 27" iMac i5 3.7ghz with 16Gb of ram. Any advice or things to try are very welcome. Grant M

The version of iMovie I’m using with this machine — iMovie 10.1.10 — has become incredibly slow when rendering 720 videos Right … I updated my 2017 model 21” iMac, on Thursday: as the security components of the Mojave 10.14.3 update seemed rather important. Ever since then, the version of iMovie I’m using with this machine — iMovie 10.1.10 — has become incredibly slow when rendering 720 videos. To the point where I’ve tweeted Tim Cook about it: I’m THAT annoyed. I’d like to ask a couple of questions. Is anyone else getting the same problem? If they are, how are they coping with it?
