OK, I exported the same original 75min long ProRes 422 file to h264 with three different NLEs: Final Cut Pro 10.6.10, Premiere 23.6.0 and Resolve 18.6.1, on the same MacMini M1 8/8 cores 16 RAM, sporting macOS Ventura 13.6, same external drive.
I used Single Pass, VBR, same resolution, same frame rate HD 1920 x 1080 23.98fps. No cropping, no resizing, no fr conversion.
I limited the h264 Data Rate to 10Mbps, audio is dual mono AAC 320Kbps.
I added visible timecode information as an overlay with the Data Burn-in (Resolve), Timecode Plug-in (FCP) and Clip Name and Timecode Plug-ins (Premiere), as this is for screeners purposes.
Only one NLE running undisturbed as it's being tested, same conditions for all three tests. No Pre-render, no Proxies. Again, 75min ProRes 422 > Export to (/Share via Compressor setting) > 75min h264.
Here are the results:
FINAL CUT PRO = 19min.
RESOLVE = 10min.
PREMIERE = 10min.
What the fuck is going on Apple??? Final Cut Pro is slow as molasses!
FCP used to be the fastest, now it's the slowest! On your own hardware Apple? What???
Others are also finding FCP to export and render slower than before:
Export and render FCP x slowww! with 128gb Ram
Painfully slow Rendering Speed
What's your experience?
