Yesterday I was creating a scrolling star wars theme text as a joke to my friend with the Star Wars theme and music. The longest I made it was 1 min and 45 seconds long. I tried about every format to make it short, my intention was to send it to his smart phone for today's RUSH concert since my friend is a huge star wars fan.
As I dragged the theme in I was asked 1080p, I, 780, PAl, etc. I also tried many different exports, QT movie, 264, even apple devices iPhone. No matter what it was taking hours. I just gave up cause it was a joke and I tried so many versions I was going nuts. After awhile I was just seeing what would work quickly for future credits. Well nothing worked. So far all my videos have worked perfectly, speed was good, no problems, and all HD video. I even took the music out to see if that was slowing it down, same export speed.
For something so simple I'm confused what I did wrong. It had no video at all, I expected it to be a quick joke. I have always worked with Livetype and made way more complicated text, and it never took long to export. The export of the joke would start fast, 8 min...then go up and up to hours. When trying other formats I restarted the program deleting my previous work, same results though.
So far this is the only problem I ran into with FCX that I couldn't figure out. Again being simple I never expected to waste hours trying to figure this bug out...though maybe I'm missing something. I never made my themes or credits this way.
Anyone have this problem or can help for a a project I would actually need to use these templets? cause whatever I'm doing is being a serious pain. I'm running a 8 core Mac Pro, with 6GB of Ram, so I don't see the computer as the problem.
Thanks.
