  XPress Pro multiprocessor support

  Posted by Max Chernyaev on February 16, 2008 at 11:02 pm

  Do everybody spend hours to render a 30-minute MOV DV file from XPress Pro or it’s only me with an unqualified PC?
  It’s strange to see a 20% CPU load when rendering a sequence with no effects (just cuts) from a DV or 1:1 clips on a dual Xeon 3.2 GHz.
  Isn’t Xpress pro multithreaded?
  I’d be pleased to see your results of CPU load during render. Did anyone has more than 40%?
  Thank you in advance!

  If you have a sequence with no effects and just cuts, there is nothing to render. I don’t understand what you are trying to render… Are you exporting something?

  Yeah, exporting QuictTime MOV DV.

  Do you have Sorenson? You can export a QT ref and let the encoding program made to do this accomplish the task for you.

  I don’t think it takes either of my approved systems that long, but I know it’s not super quick, either.
