MOV Conundrum

Question

HelloI am working on a .Mov file. The video is 20 minutes. I did a color edit, then rendered. After rendering I then did export using h.264 / preset YouTube HD. In Media Encorder the queue is - encoding time remaining 17 hours. Usually in past experiences encoding for a one hour film has been around one hour. I elected to save then exited from Adobe and restarted the computer. I again exported using h.264 / preset YouTube HD. After running the queue for 7 hours I discovered that there is 30 hours remaining? What's to do? I was thinking after reading article that I could export using:DNxHR / DNxHD MXF OP1a with preset: DNxHP HQ 2k 24I don't know.... Is it .mov that I am misunderstanding? In the past all editing work with Premiere Pro has been using AVI and MOV and MP4 to edit in preparation for upload to YouTube. Thanks for any advise.

Slow exports seems to be an issue that pops up regularly. Worth checking other posts on this forum with the same issue.

As you suggest, you may find that exporting to a more robust codec like DNx will result in a faster export.

And then you can drop that exported file into Media Encoder and create an H.264.

Another thing to try is change your renderer >File Menu > Project Settings > General > Renderer.

Change it from GPU Acceleration to 'Software only' or vice versa. See if this improves the export speed.

You don't mention what type of QuickTime your original file is (Prores?). You may find if you match it with your sequence settings and then check the 'Match sequence settings' checkbox in your export window, may speed up the export process - though you will end up with a Quicktime file that you'll still need to drop into Media Encoder to create an h.264. Good Luck!
