Any suggestions on whether to try SVRT or Hardware Encoding for my short video (about one minute 30 seconds) which is made up of about 15 or so short clips (the clips are about 6 seconds long each).
There is a simple fade between ALL the clips.
There aren't really any effects, but almost ALL the clips have a Fix / Enhance applied by ColorDirector to them.
I am trying to produce for youtube as a 1080p file at 24fps.
The source material is actually shot in 4K (but again, I am trying to produce to 1080p).
When I tried to produce as mpeg2 there were no options available for either SVRT nor for Hardware Acceleration
So I changed to H.264 and it allowed for Hardware Acceleration (I guess because in the preferences I had Hardware Acceleration checked, and that automatically turns off SVRT???)
I am currently producing this one-minute and thirty second video and I am already 23 minutes into rendering and it predicts another 25 minutes to finish rendering. Doesn't that seem like a long time to render a short clip with no effects and just colordirector grading and fades between clips?
I notiiced the bit rate is LOWER for h.264 and was wondering if that means the quality is lower too (compared to mpg 2) or whether it just means it is a more effecient codec?
My computer is:
Windows 10 64-bit on an SSD
i7-670024GB RAM
GTX 960 | 2GB DDR5
Any suggestions would be great. I know I could "test" it out, but I am kind of in a crunch this morning so instead of trying to tesxt out a bunch of different things, hopefully somebody knows already what would work best for my system.
Thanks in advance.
