    Menus with Animated Buttons Taking Forever to Render

    S Kendall Community Member

      I've got a project that has 1920x1080 29.97 .mov video backgrounds and transitions for the menus.  I have 7 menus that make up chapter selections and each has the same 30 second motion background and 4 video thumbnails.

       

      If I don't animate the video thumbnails, the menus take maybe 10-30 minutes each to render.  When I animate the thumbnails, the time to render each menu jumps to 4 HOURS!

       

      I have no idea why it would take this long, with each menu only being 900 frames and the computer I'm using is pretty beefy.

       

      Does anyone have any suggestions I could try?

       

      Thanks.
