My 3.5 hour video rendering slows at 81%
I have never edited a video this long. It probably has 300+ clips, but I kept transitions at a minimum and I only inserted text at the very beginning and about 1/3 in. But I can't get this damn video to render. The speed grinds to a halt once it hits 81%
I have confirmed that it has 754,000 frames. The footage was originally shot in 1080p and at 60 fps. I matched the project by resolution and frame rate.
I have an Intel core i7 12th gen and 16 gigs of ram. I can render at 44 fps. Even when it slows down it is rendering at over 40fps. I have resetted cache and set cache limit from 4000 to 6000 megs, then I switched to 12,000 megs. I use without hardware acceleration at first and I was capped at 33 fps and with hardware acceleration I am using qsv which brought the estimated time down from 7.5 hours to 5 hours. I have confirmed that the last frame is at 754,000.
This is my 3rd attempt and everytime it hits 81% even though it shows that it is rendering at 44fps, the status bar is only going up by .0001% every second! That means it will take over 2 days once it reaches 81%!!
What is going on here? I can't reduce the quality because it is my inlaws family vacation at Yosemite so I don't want to compromise on quality.
Thank you for any help. I want this work, I spent like 12 hours editing this and I can't split it into videos, or can I?
