  • To be honest I've lost track of where the source footage is a bit. GPU carked it with 2 weeks until delivery and I've been limping by on my old machine and just rushing everything to get it out the door without having time to check if everything is working as effeciently as possible. Just doing a collect and will test with everything definitely coming from the local disc to see if it make a difference.

    CPU is Ryzen 9 5950X GPU RTX 3090

    What made me think the .AEP would make a difference is network traffic seemed to be maxed out (though that's not uncommon, our network is pitiful here)

    Edit: collected all sources to C: and it's miles faster, especially in buffering. So our network is slow... that's not news to me.

    Edit edit: encoding still slower than I would like. probably just a result of the codec or effects on the layers.... GPU acceleration is enabled.

  • It was an MP4 with a H.264 codec. I did wonder if maybe it was just a limitation of the codec.

    @Brun yeah it did appear to be multithreading, but not with all cores at 100% like when I render with Vray. Good point about the effects though, they might not all be capable of multithreading.
