Use Compressor to export to AVID DNXHD CODEC

[Rafael Amador]

Hi Ariel,
If you can export from FC, you should be able to export from Compressor and any other application able to export QT.

Did you manage to get it to run any faster?

I didn’t try to time bench it.

but I feel that FCP studio engine does not use the potential of the system resources.

While exporting or rendering I look at the activity monitor and see that it uses only a fraction (about 1/8) of the 8 cores of my INTEL Mac pro ..

I use adobe premiere CS4 and MEDIA ENCODER – and I see that ADOBE maximizes the rendering alot better.

I don’t understand why FCP studio does not…

You can configure Compressor, using the QMaster control panel, to utilize all cores of your computer.
This can dramatically increase the speed of your encoding.

Sounds very interesting!

I will look for info about it
can you recommend on a nice link\tutorial on the subject?

[John Pale]

Open Compressor Help and then select “Distributed Processing Setup Guide”, then read the section called “Getting Started Quickly”

This will take you through setting up a QuickCluster, which will, in many cases, greatly speed up your encoding by running multiple instances of Compressor using each of your processor cores.

Thanks a lot John,

I will read it 2morrow.

BTW I have 3 MAC PROS in the studio – I believe I can use this method for distributing across other machines as well..?

thanks again

Yes. You can. Fasten your seatbelts.
