Just now...

Just transcoded 11 mins 20 seconds of interview footage in the newly released Resolve 11 lite . Converted from 6K to 2k in just 17 minutes!

Redcode: 5:1 at 25 fps

6K (6144 x 2592 pixels) down to 2k ( 2048 x 864) Apple ProRes 422 HQ hitting... a healthy 16 to 17 frames per second out of Resolve.

Is that a 12core nMP?
Rendering at full debayer?
