I tried exporting 1 hour of footage on Magix Movie editor pro MX and it took over 6 hours to get just half an hour done.Any ideas why so slow as i've exported half an hours footage before in a fraction of the time.
I'm running windows 7 pro 64 bit
2 GB,(1.87 usable), 2.2 Ghz, AMD Athlon
Hi,
How long it takes is really going to depend on the file quality and format you select for your export, the amount of RAM you have, how many applications are running in the background, and how fragmented your hard drive is among other things.
2GB of RAM is not very much memory I have 6GB see some actuall results in the screen shot below
In the above screen shot, you can see some of the applications that consume memory. If I wanted to free up memory, I would close the firefox browser, the thunderbird email client, as they are consuming almost 20% of your 2GB that are available.
Some thoughts for you when you export a long video with 2GB of RAM
Keep the quality level as low as you find acceptable
Check your hard drive for fragmentation and defrag if necessary
Close any other open applications when doing the export
Consider upgrading your RAM
Good Luck,
George

Please do not duplicate post - there is already a response in your original post asking you to follow the sticky post at the top of the forum in which you originally posted. You did not provide sufficient information about your system specs and what steps and settings you are making in order to export
This is a user forum and not Magix support, so please be patient. - we do appreciate that often users would like an immediate response.
