SONY VEGAS + i7 2600K + 8GB RAM + NEAT VIDEO = SLOW RENDERING?!

[Demetris Christodoulides]

Thank you, this indeed looks like a possible way to solve the issues…i’ll try and let you know. Generally speaking would adding +8gb/ram and a far better gpu change my overall processes’ speed drastically or is it money wasted ? What do you think? Thanks!

If Neat Video is something you use on a lot of projects a faster GPU with CUDA support is definitely something that will speed up rendering times.

Here’s how they define the rendering speed upgrades in version 3:

Yeap, sadly because the hvr-hd1000e underperforms in low light conditions and i have to use max exposure, i often get high noise at night…

Thank you for the excellent input so far.

For the time being, i have 2 regular 7200rpm western digital sata2 drives and i am thinking of switching to:

2xssd hard disks, one for os (windows 7 x64) + program files, and one only for projects
+8gb ram = total 16gb ram
+gtx570

You think i’ll gain considerable speed with these updates? They will cost me around 750 euros..

> Version 3 is at least 2x as fast as V2 (2.6 etc) when only using your CPU

It’s not true.
The developers say: “The exact speedup factor can vary in the range x1.0-x2.5, depending on the filter and project settings”

In my case (I work with 1080-50p) the speed is increased by 20% only (1.2 times faster). However, I use AMD CPU and do not have NVidia video card.

What render times do you get (an example for instance) and to what format are you exporting ?

[Mikhail Petrushin]

Source: 1080-50p
Output: 1080-50p, Mainconcept AVC, High Profile, 2 passes encoding, Avg Bitrate: 28Mbps
NeatVideo settings: Adaptive Filtration, Temporal Filter Radius = 2, Noice Reduction Amount: 100/70/40, High Quality Filtering, Hight Resolution, Sharpening: 50/20/10, Conservative. NeatVideo performance 1.93 frames/sec.

NeatVideo filter is applied not for all fragments (~50% fragments).
~14 mins (~42000 frames) video was rendering for 11 hours in version 3.1 and 14 hours in version 2.6 (without my trick, for longer project I will try to use it)

What kind of computer setup do you have?

[Mikhail Petrushin]

AMD Phenom 840, 8 GB DDR3 RAM, AMD 6850 Video, 7200rpm HDD.

The long render time is not exactly my problem.

Intel i7 2600, 3.4GHz, fast RAM — 6.4fps with radius=1. Intel i7 2600 is much faster then my CPU (and more expensive).
