  Maximizing Render Times

  Posted by Chip Hess on August 21, 2017 at 11:50 pm

  I just rendered a 9 minute clip that took several hours. It is one long green screen take, keyed with Keylight.. Background is a PNG., with a vignette and slight Gaussian blur. One title layer overlay.

  iMac late 2013 27″
  32BG RAM
  OSX 10.9.5
  Media Encoder 2015.4

  Pulling cam files from a USB 3 drive, writing to another USB 3 drive.
  The cam original is H.264, 90 mbps, 1080p.

  I opened the AE sequence in Media Encoder,
  outputting to DNxHD 145. I have 20GB dedicated to Encoder,
  and for rendering GPU Open CL is enabled. Not even sure
  if that makes a difference here, just trying to provide
  all the details.

  Is this just the nature of the beast,
  or is there a way to speed things up a bit?
  Would precomping the 3 layers in the AE sequence help at all?
