Rev. 12383 - Converter Performance Enhancement

Postby tontheaterbasel » Mon Nov 23, 2015 8:38 pm

Hello everyone,

in the release notes of rev. 12383 it says: "performance enhancement for Image Sequence compression (Quicktime Converter)".
Will there also be a new codec to download, which has a better performance when using third party converters?
Or does this only depend on the used converter?

Best wishes,
David

Hi Thomas,

thanks for your reply.

The question was: "Do we get a new improved codec to download as well?"

We had video artists complaining that exporting from Premiere or After FX with the coolux codec takes way too long.
So I did quick a test, rendering one video out in HAP (took 2:50m) and Coolux DDS with snp as mov (took 12:00m).
I really can understand that they don't want to block there computer with waiting for the coolux codec to finish.
And since we prefer not to re-encode every video we get, we will move to the HAP codec.

Cheers, David

Hi David!

Yes, there will be an improved update of the codec as well. It will roughly only take a quarter of the time to encode then.
In addition it will be split into at least 2 different codecs as this better leads the way to image sequences and different codecs within the mov-container.

Stay tuned...

Cheers
Markus
