If I understand well – rendering from Resolve is all CPU horsepower … not GPU dependent …
So graphics cards do not help with rendering. Is this correct?
I have a 2009 8 Core MacPro with 14 GB of Ram, a Red Rocket and a Quadro4000.
I am rendering a Red project using Full Res Premium decode to 1920 x 1080.
How can increase render speeds? Obviously a 12 core will help. Anything else?

It looks like Resolve was simply trying to render to a full drive…
Cleared the drive. Problem solved.
Still curious how to get render speeds of above 20fps…
🙂

Ted,
I am also experiencing the “failed to encode video frame” and “no such track” errors.
The render speed reset did not work for me 🙁
btw – What kind of system do you have that can render out at 90fps!!!
The best i ever see rendering red footage is 20fps with a Red Rocket and a Quadro 4000.

JES Deinterlacer is a free standards conversion tool. Does frame rate conversions like Nattress. Trouble is that both tools work but I keep getting duplicate frames … Like a stutter step every 4 secs.
It is important that time and pitch are maintained as much of the footage is interviews.
How can I change the framerate and preserve image quality and audio sync?

Re: VFX question: what is the actual chip size HVX200a / HVX200
by Kirk Melby on Jun 27, 2008 at 10:31:47 amOK, here is what we’ve been using:
4.6809 x 2.6330 mm active area.
Should be close enough!
Good Luck,

An anonymous individual made this comment on my Digital Dayz HD Blog site (https://chrisoben.blogspot.com/) in reference to the HVX200 alignment issue.
Here is the comment:
Hi there, CCD alignment on the HVX is an issue i’ve recently tried to find more discussions about online but startlingly find it to be an uncommon point of interest. This thread is one of few i am posting on now to share the results of a test i did myself recently.
I started investigating when i was attaching a Redrock lens adaptor to the front of the HVX and found that the ‘gate’ at the back of the Redrock unit would dissapear from the edges of frame at different points of zooming with the HVX. I had hard mounted the Redrock using stepping rings and at first assumed it was a Redrock problem (much as you assume it is the fault of your matte box).
I steadily started removing variables from the equation until i was left with only the stepping rings screwed into the thread on the front of the hvx mount, and the edges of this too were not aligned centrally with the image.
This lead me to the certain conclusion that the center of the lens and the center of the CCD are out of alignment with each other.
I have so far tested around 10 HVX’s and find the problem to be the same on all of them. The rings appear to be shifted to the right of frame, leaving vignetting on the left. (the same direction as your matte box problem)
I have also done this test with the sony Z1 and the old DVX and find the alignment on both of these cameras to be perfect.
On contacting Panasonic i was met first with denial, then with an excuse that “the HVX is not designed to be used with lens adaptors”, which completely ignores the issue that ANY accessory attached via the lens thread is out of alignment with the image, and so what would be the point of any accessory? The final insult came when a friend of mine performed the same test demonstration in front of Panasonic reps at a Panasonic demo, to which they responded “your problem isn’t CCD alignment, it’s your budget – buy a better camera” (!!!!!!!)
I think it’s about time Panasonic owned up to the fact that they have performed a massive and inexcusable cock-up in their manufacturing of the HVX and either offer to fix all affected cameras, or announce the problem and sell the cameras at discounted rates. Neither of which they have been forthcoming about doing.
If you own an HVX, please perform the same test to see for yourselves if you are affected, (because it may be just a bad batch made at one time) if is so, or if not, note the serial number and post it back here so we can begin cataloguing affected models.
Feedback welcome!!!

Rich,
I tried BitVice Helper but it doesn’t support .ac3 (only aif or .wav) any ideas on converting an .ac3 to aif/.wav?
I really don’t want to crack the FCP Studio 2 Box yet . . .

Hi Tim,
Thanks for the simple explanation – as for Compressor/DVD Studio etc . . . I have been using FCP since version 3 but have no experience with DVD Studio having always used the simpler iDVD. I have just purchased FCP Studio 2 and have not installed it yet (nor have I installed Leopard) – if I had the time to play I would welcome the opportunity but my client needs this DVD quickly. Do you think it would be easier in DVD Studio?
