3D Video render is taking too long...
Hi Guys,

I am trying to render a 49 second 'tour' of my bedroom that i have created. When i do this in the best setting it starts off saying it will take about 6 hours which is fine but then as it goes along the time goes up to 50 hours!

Is there anything i can do to speed it up?

I have a 2012 Macbook Pro with an i5 processor, 8GB ram and a 128GB SSD as the main hard drive. The 'home' file is stored on the second hard drive which is a standard sata drive.
I have already allocated 3.5GB to the program but i can see that the most it uses is 2GB even in render mode.

What can i do to make it render faster?

Thanks
Ash

The rendering time probably increased when the computed picture was containing more objects to render.
Please, read FAQ How can I speed up the rendering process in photo and video creation panes? and make smaller tests or photos to ensure it will render as you expect.
