workflow from Jpeg 2000 time line to SD DVD

[Rafael Amador]

Hi Paul,
Same than Compressor, SHAKE use Qmaster for job distribution, so you can put all your cores to work; but the best is that you have different filters for the kind of job (Up/downscaling) and for different kind of stuff (video, Graphics).
For Downscaling I use the “Dirac” filter.
BTW, Motion has a very good filter (also present in SHAKE) for downscaling: Lanczos.
Is in the “Image Units”.
However Motion doesn’t render in Floating Point.

Hi Again Rafael,

I am now converted officially to ProRES.
Its all good except for render times. I do need help on render times. Last night i did 2 tests. Both exporting directly from timeline to compressor.

One used QT settings the other Mpeg2 settings. The mpeg 2 worked well the qt settings did not.
Plus the Mpeg2 was 1 hundred times faster compression.

Today I am testing a 3rd method…MPEG (no conversion as instructed) to compressor where I used the
Mpeg settings that worked so well last night. The render time is horrendous! So I guess I’ll go
back to the strait to compressor method.

Any comments? Thanks again.
