Need info about quad cores

Hi not sure what is meant to happen with a four core processor but I dont think mine is working properly

 

I am running final cut pro and Rendering a 6 hour video clip around 400x240 estimated time 14 hours but thats not the issue I am using this as it is very demanding on GPU / CPU

 

What is happening if I go to activity monitor I see four processors but at any one time only 1 processor is running at 100% the others are relatively idle after a time the load gets transferred to another processor and so on

 

My understanding of a quad core Q6600 or what ever you have is that all 4 cores work together and spread the load ie I should see all four cores with heavy activity should I not ???

 

Can anybody give me some insite to this issue or is it normal

 

Many Thanks
