PD9 is taking over three hours to render a 3 minute music video for a YouTube upload - I am presuming I'm doing something wrong! It's an MP4 video of about 350 meg, plus an MP3 track and half a dozen stills. Is there any way of speeding this up, and would it be quicker if I didn't use the MP4 HD video? Arthur

Part A,B and a screenshot of your edit workspace would help a great deal.

Version is PD Deluxe 9.0.0.2930 (32 Bit)
DXdiag and screeshot attached. I've probably missed something obvious - still a newcomer to this.

Hope this helps! Could it be becuase the video is being slightly resized as it is being rendered? I'm sure the previous one I did didn't take this long and it was much more complex.

Thanks, Arthur.

Hi Arthur,
1. You've got a low powered computer.
2. From the images, you're asking the PC to render a number of actions you've added.
3. My guess is the time taken appears about right.

Thanks - I did have a suspicion of that. The computer was built for me - I'll have a word with the guy who built it, give him the PD9 box and get him to build me one to the specs on it. Is there anything in addition to that I should have? Arthur

Your biggest problem is here...

Drive: C:
Free Space: 18.6 GB
Total Space: 76.3 GB
File System: NTFS
Model: ST380811AS

I am assuming it is a digital drive..... get rid of it, you need at least 100 gig free space to edit, render, produce anything serious with PD9. EVERYONE that has got one of those tiny SSD drives have had to dump them to use PD9. Get at least a 300 gig hard drive....

Not enough video card. Need 750 meg or even better 1 gig dedicated memory.
