...I think problem will be in Pixel Film Studios which I have used.. as well coloring effect Mojo... When I render file without this things, if was quite fast.. with that effect (video have 10min) it render quite 4 hours.. My question is is I will buy this ex.drive...Or what should I do for faster work? Thank you for your reply!
My 2013 iMac 27 exported (shared) a 10 min 1080p/30 video in 2 min 27 sec using the previously-mentioned settings. This was exporting to a 3TB Fusion Drive. While there was significant I/O at about 90 MB/sec, this is well within the limit of most hard drives. The process was mostly CPU-bound, with iStat Menus showing high activity on all cores.
How long exactly does it take to share your 10 min video using the previously-mentioned settings -- and without the Pixel Film Studios plugins? Can you quantify the difference? Is it 1 hr without vs 4 hr with Pixel Film Studios, or is it 10 min vs 4 hr?
It sounds abnormal for those effects to cause such a tremendous slowdown in export performance. However if it can be confidently traced to those plugins and if the slowdown that dramatic, it should be well known to their customer support or other users of those plugins. Certainly nobody would overlook their export performance becoming 50 to 100 times slower.
Rather than applying a brute force solution and speculatively buying a disk drive, you first should closely examine the problem and re-verify it is uniquely due to these plugins. Then verify and quantify your export performance without the plugins -- if slower than about 5 to 8 min, there's something else wrong.
As already explained the problem is more likely CPU than I/O. But regardless of which one, you cannot purchase I/O or CPU capacity to improve performance by 20 to 50 times. It simply does not exist. It's probably more effective to investigate the problem and try to isolate the exact cause and (as a sanity check) determine if your export performance *without* those plugins is reasonable. Then we can proceed from there.
