  Rendering speed – Qmaster

  Posted by Javad Ahmadi on June 20, 2008 at 10:03 pm

  Hello Everyone!
  My macpro is:
  Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Xeon
  Processor Speed: 3 GHz
  Number Of Processors: 2
  Total Number Of Cores: 8
  L2 Cache (per processor): 8 MB
  Memory: 8 GB
  Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz

  I watched the Qmaster video tutorial on Creativecow and few others. I followed exactly the right procedure, but I can not get the maximum speed on when I render with Apple compressor. My activity monitor is jumping no more the 30%. I tried all combinations but it can not get any better.

  Can some one help me.
  I really appreciate it.

  Thanks
  Javad

  What’s your storage system?
  What type of files are you compressing?
  What format are you compressing to?
  Are you compressing out of FCP to Compressor?

  Hi Russ;
  I have 2 internal drives. I normally render from main drive to my second drive. Types of files I render are DV NTSC to DV PAL or revers, NTSC to quicktime for web, Final cut sequence to (simple and complex) to DV NTSC.

  Sometimes I find it much faster if I output my Final seq. to DV NTSC for example and then use the completed quicktime file for various out put format using compressor.

  I hope I answered your questions.
  Thanks

  Could you perhaps post a link to the tutorial you mention? I’ve done several searches and come up empty.

  Thanks!

  Hi Lars;
  I solved my problem with Larry’s advise.
  check this link.

  On CreativeCow’s site, there was a tutorial from Ben Scott. I could not find it anymore. I may have it saved somewhere, if you like I can dig and look for it.

  cheers
