Speed Up Mpeg Streamclip

[Luke Dollard]

why does everyone keep on going on about qmaster for compressor, it wont affect the speed on mpeg streamclip one bit.

and compressor will not accept importing mpegs, unless i am totally misinformed.

thanks for all the help though.

Uh no, it won’t, but it will speed up Compressor.

It will accept some types, but not m2ts. Are those M2Ts from a camera? If so, I’d look in to ClipWrap and then use those QT movies for Compressor. ClipWrap simply gets rid of the m2t wrapper and uses a QT container. Check it out here:

Once you get a QT movie, then use Compressor, with a Virtual Cluster and the deinterlace function in the Frame Controls Tab and you will be good. You can also change the resize filter to best in Compressor as well.

Yeah I would use clip wrap. I have the same problem with HDV m2ts. I have 22 hours of m2t from a five day shoot. First I rewrap them using clipwrap which is considerably faster than mpegstream clip and it makes them 1440×1080 HDV quick times.
But I need them in h.264 1920×1080 so I am using compressor with 4 instances running on 4 cores and 12gigs of ram. It still takes forever. 1 hour of footage takes 2 hours to convert. HDV and H.264 are not friendly codecs.

You can run tasks concurrently, but still not utilising all processors…

Start a batch list, at the bottom there’s an option for simultaneous tasks.

If your processor is still not at 100% when using max simultaneous tasks, find the app, right click, go into MacOS folder then load up streamclip again, multiple instances, multiple transcoding.
