Hello Everyone,

I'm starting to create a youtube channel about drum and bass univers. Mood - YouTube

I did some mix and created 30 videos to animate my mix with some effects.

After 2 months, i still cant find the way to export my video fastly.

Here is the mac that i use :

For a video of 30mn, the time left is 40 hours ..

I tried H264 Youtube HD codec and Prores 422


I cant use that mac all the time, so i have to find a solution soon ..
I really hope that someone can help me.

Thank you,


Thomas

Ok. But you have to give us more info if you wish to get help.

1. What exactly you are doing. Is it export from After Effects or Premiere Pro?
2. What you are doing in any of those programs? What effects, is that some kind of complicated animations or just edited video?
3. Do you have SSD drives or HDD and is your source footage is on the same drive that you are wxporting your final animation on or not?

Hello,

Is from AE CC 2019

I use differents effects depends of the video but you can see some example on videos that i succed to export (during weeks ...) here :

Mood - YouTube

I tried to export with "match source" codec and it's less time ! but still 15 hours ...

3. I'm not an expert of computer but here is my information disk stockage : Système de fichiers Windows NT File System (NTFS) / 557go capacity

And yes my dependency folder is the same than the export folder.

Sorry for my english and thank you for you help, really.

So I can't still figure out what exactly is going on with your animations but they're seems easy so it should not take as much time as it is taking.
1. So - I'm guessing that you are CC subscriber and if so - you have access to other Adobe apps such as Premiere Pro. So if you are animating/ editing something like that:

Happy Drum & Bass I "Smile" I Mix By Mood - YouTube​ - still image with miusic or Asian Drum & Bass I "Talisman" I Mix by Mood - YouTube  where only movement is rotation (or other easy effects) - do that in premiere Pro - it should be faster.

2. And that should be most important thing - when you start your render open Activity Monitor and check what is going on - what part of your hardware is working hardest (ram, cpu, hdd, gpu) - with that info we will know what is the bottle neck pof your hardware
3. When you are running render you should not run any other programs because you should give any ressource that your machine have to your render
4. If you are running expressions in AE - just convert them to keyframes - that should be easier for CPU to count.
