  • Full resolution rendering quality “BEST” = low render speed (low CPU-Usage) ???

    Posted by Marc Knieb on November 20, 2015 at 8:42 am

    Hey guys,

    I am rendering Videos für Youtube… Bodybuilding color graded content.

    Project Settings:

    If I render this stuff with “good” my cpu works really well and fast… (60-80% Usage) and 15 Minutes…

    If I render the same clip with “Best” my cpu works bad… (10-20% usage) and 80 Minutes….

    Cpu: i7 5820k, Overclocked to 4,4 Ghz.

    Where is the problem?

    Thank you

    There is no problem Marc, simply have the rendering quality set to “Good
    at all times. You need nothing more than that.

    Evidently the part of the encoding that optimizes quality is single threaded. It is not able to use more than one core, so it can’t use 100% of your multicore CPU.

    I would like to know more about your source material, and the plugins in use. The Best setting is multithread optimized, it could be something in the render chain that is limiting your render performance. Could be the way the GoPro format and magic bullet are being handled. However, I did not see plugins in use at least on the point where the cursor was.

    You could also try rendering to XDCAM-EX.MXF and upload that directly to YouTube.

    I would try building a sample project where you compare source media in XDCAM-EX, HDCAM-SR, or Cineform.avi, then render to Sony AVC “internet 1920×1080-30p” around 16MB/s profile, or XDCAM-EX.mxf. Do this in CPU only mode, unless you have a 290X or better AMD GPU.

    HI Aaron,
