• Please check if your graphics card driver is updated – it should be 6 months old or newer.
• Please check the size of your video file. Full HD 2 hours video 1920×1080 should be 4-6 GB and HD Ready 2 hour long videos 1366×768 pixels should be 2-3 GB. The bigger the file is, the longer it will take to convert.

Exporting with drawings is slow because a video with animations needs to be converted 3 times to get exported. That is why exporting with drawings usually takes 3x longer than export without drawings. The speed depends on the speed of your computer. The more powerful the machine, the faster the export.
The ideal specifications are i7, RAM 16GB, SSD disc – they make a 30 second HD video with one drawing getting exported in 10 second.
