Canon 6d Video

Recently started using my 6d to do the video on my video walkthroughs for my real estate photography business. I've also decided to start processing the videos myself rather than pay someone else to do it as I've been learning Premiere Pro for other reasons.

Anyway, I'm exporting my first attempt and it's taking 6+ hours to export! It's only a 2 minuteish video. I'm assuming this is because the video from the 6d is so large because I never made any changes to the quality/etc for the video on the camera. I'm guessing it's set to the best of everything making a very large file with a lot of info. I've been working with another video camera--not as good--and an export like this would take me about 5 minutes.

Any ideas on whether I'm thinking the right way and, if so, what video settings should I use for the 6d to optimize processing/export time without sacrificing too much quality?

Thanks.

It's your computer not the 6d files. Rendering the final video times are determined by your computer's power.

I figured it out...sort of. Wasn't my computer. I, apparently, rendered just one of the titles I created. Have no idea why it would take so long. When I figured it out and tried to export the whole movie, it took only 17 minutes.

Very strange.

HD video rendering is slow. If you set your bit rate lower it should render faster. I usually use 4MB for web videos in HD.

This didn't cause this problem but, yes, you're right. I was thinking I should really look into what settings I can lower without (terribly) affecting the quality to make smaller files. That is my next mission.
