Using Prelude to transcode & prevent lengthy render at output

[David Lawrence]

[Shane Ross] “Use Maximum Render. I just did another one today. 3 min project. Rendered out in just over 3 min…3:20. To ProRes. From Mp4”

Thanks, good to know. My projects are typically 3-10 minutes long so these kinds of output times should be fine. May need to upgrade my laptop to get ’em, though.

Encoding a 8:30 piece shot with my Canon 550D at 1080p 23.98 to YouTube 1080p 23.98. It is slated to take 18 min.

I still think that is good. That’s a compressed format.

Sounds like you’re getting somewhere between 1-1 and 2-1 encode times. I can work with that, though faster is always better.

I don’t know if it makes a speed difference but I always do my final output to a high quality codec like ProRes and master/encode as a separate process as I wrote about here. I’ll probably continue to work this way even with PrP since it gives me the best looking final files, even if they’re eventually going to YouTube or Vimeo.
