Is this in CS6 or CC? If in CC, are you using the DNxHD MXF codec?

Yes. The free version of the codec doesn’t use all available cores when it runs inside another application (like AME). That’s the tradeoff for free…

GoPro Studio is definitely faster for converting files if you have the types of files it will load…for anybody working with XDcamHD or something like that, using GoPro Studio isn’t an option, so you go through AME and just understand it will take some time.

it’s been some time since I used Neoscene…I can’t remember whjat all the settings were.

If you have concerns, I think the free version of CineForm Studio will convert those files as well…it’s available at the GoPro website.

[Walter Soyka] “DNxHD does support RGB 444 at 10b, but as Tim mentions, it’s HD-only.”

Yes…and interesting how Avid needs to double it’s data rate to get from Y’CbCr 4:2:2 to RGB 4:4:4 (220 to 440), whereas ProRes…somehow…maintains they make the same leap for only 50% more data (220 to 330)…something I’ve been curious about for years…

Did the files span cards in-camera?

That’s typically been the catch for the Sony FS700 media…though I would have thought that was handled as it’s been around for a while.

Not sure what would constitute “optimized”…I guess maybe being able to “smart render” with the given codec?

Adobe handles everything…ProRes playback has improved markedly even on the Windows side (obviously encoding is available on the Mac side).

Compressed 4:4:4 codecs aren’t that common…CineForm has one of course, but DNxHD doesn’t even have a frame size beyond HD at this point, much less 4:4:4 color sampling, so it’s hard to know where it will shake out.

I doubt there is a 4:4:4 color sample spec inside an H265 profile, but I guess we’ll have to see where it goes.

I don’t think it will take much extra time to reinstall both apps, so I’d say to replace them both…but maybe restart the machine after uninstalling, and before reinstalling…

The Warp Stabilizer is a pretty thorough effect. If a shot just needs x-y correction, you can go into the settings and choose an option other than the subspace warp process. You should speed up processing speed considerably.

Since the calculations associated with the effect are done on the CPU instead of the GPU, adding a different display card to your iMac (if that’s possible) probably won’t change the analysis time very much.

I think the installer should give you the option for each application. I haven’t used the perpetual license installer for a while…but I’m pretty certain the media encoder is a separate check box.
