Hi
Relative newbie so please bear with.
I have a large number of Premiere Pro sequences that I need to encode to a custom setting. The source footage is HD MTS. The custom setting for export is H.264, 960 x 540, 25, 2.5mbp, 2 pass (to go to itunes-U).
I'm on a Macbook Pro, 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7, 8gb 1600 MHz DDR3 with a Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB.
A twenty minute sequence with no filters/fx added and no other programmes running is taking my machine upward of 3hrs to encode - does this sound right? A colleague, running a similar setup (I'm awaiting exact specs) pops them out in fifteen minutes.
Is there anything I can do to speed up or are there any known issues?
Many thanks
