Hi Alex:
[Alex Udell] “Hi Tom…
1) Is this an MXF ouput?
Yes it is. It is the AVC-Intra 100 codec wrapped in an MXF file
2) So as a master Full res file…does that also mean AME encodes (say to a flavor of H264) based on that as a source should be faster as well?
I have no info on that possibility. BUT I have also switched from doing QT H.264 to MP4 H.264 files. And like OP1a, it is 2X as fast as the QT H.264 exports since qt32sever is not a bottleneck in the process.
3) Is this supported as a Pr “Smart Render” codec for working in the timeline?”
I have no information on that. But most of my timelines have effects and motion graphics and I believe Smart Render only works with plain clips.
