Shotcut taking so long to export

[coco]

Im trying to export 2-10 minutes videos and they take about 5 hours to export. Im using the latest version and im editing on a macbook air. The thing is is that before when I exported longer videos, they took about 20 minutes but now i dont know what happened. also shotcut randomly crashes during the exports. Is there any way to fix this? thanks.
