FCP7 Switcher finding extending rendering for playback times in PPro

[Brian Cooney]

I’ve got 32GB of Ram… I’ve got an AMD Radeon 6970M 2GB video card – not CUDA though… but I’m actually waiting for my decked out, back-ordered 2013 iMac.. which has the NVIDA Card and 32GB of Ram…

Yea. That card is not supported for OpenCL acceleration. You can try adding this little hack at your own risk.

Someone had recommended using the Cineform codec for sequence preview. It seems to work better for me… testing it… than the MPEG1 options. Not sure it’s any faster than the prores422 setting though. Possibly? What exact codec would be ideal for sequence preview performance?

Here’s a screen shot of what APP chooses for auto-match sequence to some AVC-Intra P2 material shot 720p/60p:

Thaks. I’m not seeing I-Frame only MPEG as an option in my dropdown. 🙂

It’s not like that, choose the preset you see i=here in the screen grab, create the sequence and then look at the sequence settings.

Final Question.. are using AVC simply because it’s an MPEG2 codec? which is better 50 or 100? I’m editing in 1080p

AVC 100 is better due to the higher sampling rate.
