  RE: Collage >4 01: 6 minutes for 9 secs (40 to 1)?
  It's incredible how long MEPP 2016 (and I'm guessing 2017/2018?) take to render apparently simple collages. I've just included the two landscape object > 02 04 in my current (1920x1080 50 fps) project. The collage, applied to two 4 second JPGs,

  That's a relief - glad I asked! I ran it again using full duration of 22 s. Took 15 mins 17 s! (916 s, i.e. ratio of 42 to 1.) Had the side of my case off to check for dust, thinking possible overheating, but it was surprisingly clean. And I gather

  Hi Terry I use the preview render regularly for difficult sections, eg collages, however you cannot use it for editing, as soon as you make a change eg cut a section, move an object etc, the render becomes useless. As the name suggests it is for
