  • Slow text render workarounds?

    Posted by Hsmtp+ on August 15, 2005 at 8:40 am

    Hello,

    I’m currently working with lots of texts in Motion 2. The same problem was with Motion 1. And it renders very slow even on my 6800 Ultra card.
    Are there any workarounds to speed-up the process of rendering?

    Thank you!

    What codec are you rendering to?

    Usually to Animation or MJPEG A (quality 100 or 75).
    But there is no problem with rendering any graphics or video with lots of effects – only text typed in Motion.

    I have done numerous text renders with motion and have always found it to be extremely fast. I wish that I could be of more help.

    Ok, lets try.

    Project:
    1024×576, 10 seconds, 25 fps, antialiasing: high

    you have a textfield with following text:

    “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean tempus. Morbi ipsum arcu, condimentum vitae, ultricies et, imperdiet non, dui. In ante. Ut ut turpis. Ut accumsan accumsan neque. In quis lacus ac orci rhoncus consectetuer. Aenean in arcu sed mi suscipit tincidunt. Maecenas nec diam. Integer dapibus aliquam turpis. Integer orci. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Duis sagittis arcu vel massa. Cras consequat, ligula nec blandit porta, pede risus adipiscing erat, non porta purus dui vitae nisl. Pellentesque eget risus quis felis venenatis blandit. Proin scelerisque, mi vel tempor placerat, urna quam congue mi, in vehicula purus justo eu pede. Praesent dignissim congue urna. In congue rutrum mauris.”

    Geneva, 18pt.

    Put a filter on it: Fade In From Left.

    Play. My speed – 1-2 fps 🙁

    I noticed that after upgrading to Tiger, QuickTime 7 and Motion 2 – everything works little bit slower. But with Motion 1 on Jaguar – text renders was also very slow for me.

    Even the text without any effects, white on black – will give me 6-7 fps. I don’t think that’s very fast.
