Unusual Rendering Times

[Dominik Muench]

Hi Guys,

I upgraded to the latest version of RedcineX Professional this morning and I am currently rendering a few files without my rocket card because its out on a hire job the next few days and a client needs a couple of preview files.

There seems to be happening something very strange with the rendering times, I am currently rendering a clip that according to redcine has 16413 frames and I am converting from 5K footage into 1920x1080 Apple ProRes 422 LT, redcine is giving me an estimated rendering time of 9 hours and 30 minutes remaining !!!

I know that my 2.3GHZ i7 Macbook pro with 16gb of ram is not the pinacle of current editing power...but when I rendered footage in the past it never took this long.

Whats your Debayer quality?

 

[Dominik Muench]

hey Big Lu,

debayer is on full.

 

[Bobby Farokhzad]

How much available space is there on the hard drive you are rendering to? If it's near full, render times will take forever.

Dominik why not use Davinci ? is moore fast...

 

[Alvise Tedesco]

Davinci converts faster than RCX? Really? Or do you mean working natively with R3D is faster?

Yes Alvise ,
for example R3D original 5k FF 3:1 9 second in Rcx to proress 422hq full debayer about 3.45 minute in Davinci Resolve same is 1.15 second in my HP Z800 whit 8 core, why Davinci use all power of core CPu and in Davinci is possible to apply Lut for daily is easy and fast try

I'll do! Thanks

Bobby: I had around 380GB available on the drive.

Thanks Luigi I will give this a try, sounds like a faster alternative when you dont have the rocket at hand.
