I think this timing is realistic.

With an i7-950, under 7/64 and Vegas Pro 10, I have about 1’30 of rendering per minute of movie (with no effects), rendering 1920×1080 clips to 1280×720 output with the Sony AVC plug-in (target is MP4).

rendering to 1920×1080 instead of 1280×720 is about twice as long.

So, considering your hardware, I believe your timing is more or less normal.

Hi,

1: Blue ray is used to display 1920×1080 frames
2: standard DVD resolution is 720×576
3: the maximum resolution supported by Youtube currently is 1280×720

Hope this helps,
Frédéric

Hi Guillaume,

[Sorry, no link to the current thread – but this is to help Guillaume though…]

I believe it’s you who has sent me an email regarding my plug-in. I have answered to your email, but have got an error back, saying that your mailbox was full. Might you then check it, or use an other email address, and get back to me again via email when you are done?

Thanks,
Frédéric

I have packaged a 50-second demonstration video to illustrate how to use the plug-in and the results it gives:

Did it yesterday thanks to your question 🙂 – that’s right there were some interesting things that I did not see through the API & FAQ docs.

Hi,

Actually, I managed today to make the sample work. The problem was due to the fact that the code was trying to retrieve a boolean parameter. The storage was as big as a bool, but the API was retrieving an int. I guess in 64 bits (unlike in 32 bits), bool and int do not have the same footprint, so the memory was corrupted.

I have indeed managed to write my own OFX plug-in, I am testing it right now, and will hopefully publish it if some readers here are interested by the offering. It seems to have everything working fine so far, with graphical parameters adjustment, keyframing/animation, appropriate rendering, persistence of settings into the .veg project file.

That’s really cool! Many thanks once more 🙂

Meanwhile, I have downloaded an eval of the VS Pro 2010, at least to check I could make the samples work.

I could compile the ‘basic’ ofx sample, could make it recognized by Vegas in the video effects list, but it crashes when I simply clic on it in the list.

I did not investigate more (I switched back to my script/extension other stuff…). But since these samples are not devoted to Vegas, they appear to be built in 32-bit by default, presumably for other OFX containers in 32-bit mode.

According to the error message I got on the crash, I suspect a problem of struct fields alignment when the project is switched to 64bits. I have read here and there that even though OFX was standardized, it was not working perfectly with all containers (too nice to be true, as frequently in computers). Maybe I will have to tweak some compilation settings like byte alignment or so. As a matter of fact, the standard is at the C source level, not at the binary level. So data type definitions or not guaranteed to interoperate between the various providers and consumers of plug-ins.

To be followed, but now I am no more constrained to the 30-day eval period to investigate this, thanks to your post 🙂

As usual, if you have any insight on this, I will be interested to read you!

Yes I think so. Do you mean the zip file with 18 files including the API documentation and a FAQ list?

I have intensively browsed the API doc and the FAQ, but I must admit that I did not pay attention to other files (.cs, .js, .vb, and also a big XML file with API description). Should I?

If there is something else you would recommend?

Thanks again,
Frédéric
