![]() ![]() I love the ease of the programme and have looked at Resolve but that looks so complicated and I am not sure f it has all the facilities, easily at hand that PD has.might just be that it is a big learning curve? However, the key point being that rendering without any adjustment to the video is fast: make changes and it is much slower. It does make me wonder if I would see much of a difference at 25FPS however given that my movies are predominantly my daughter and her horse in training/competition, perhaps the 50FPS handles movement better. I was rendering at almost real time, however, I now notice that when I make adjustments to colour, sharpness or other things, the render time increases substantially.Ībout 2 hrs 30 minutes to do a 30 minute 4k 50FPS video. However, I have noticed that the more you edit in Power Director, the longer the render time. So not particularly fast by todays standards, but able to render 4k very quickly using Power Director: much faster than in some alternative programs. I was amazed at how quickly it rendered a 4k video at 50fps. I purchased Power Director 18 some time ago and am very happy with it. I find the H.264/Mp4 format very flexible and widely supported, so no changes in my workflow.īy the way, ProRes is not a distribution format as you mention in the end, or at least, not very wide supported codec as I know of. ![]() My setup works fine for 4K video without proxies (Premiere Pro), but it's always nice to know if there are new technical details I should know about to speed up my workflow, so this is why I asked if you fond this a delivery/distribution format. ![]() You would import XAVC-S, then edit, then export in your preferred codec such as regular 1080p H264, UHD 4k H264, ProRes, etc. You would normally never export in XAVC-S, in fact I'm not sure if any software supports that. However it is an acquisition format, not a distribution format. MP4 video files are just H264, AVC High 5.1 format. It works well and is handled by most NLE software. XAVC-S is just Sony's in-camera acquisition format for 8-bit 4:2:0 4k H264, usually at 100 megabit/sec and 29.97 fps. Sony XAVCS is Sony Propitiatory MP4.so its just their version of MP4.its the format all sony camera's record starting back on the A77ii dslr and CX900 camcorders. That is good news about Power Director since lots of people use it, plus many are looking for a low-cost yet capable NLE on Windows. However Resolve is cross platform so maybe it's faster on a custom-built Windows PC. I've tested the latest version of DaVinci Resolve 15, and it's pretty quick but not as fast as FCPX on timeline operations. My 2017 iMac can barely do that for a single stream of 4k but not for multicam. IOW using the JKL keys to switch from 1x, 2x, 4x speed, then reverse, how much keyboard lag and display lag is there.Īny hardware/software combination that can smoothly edit 4k H264 without proxies is quite an accomplishment. This is because Premiere supports Quick Sync acceleration for encode only, not decode (at least on Mac).Ī good test for any editing software handling 4k H264 is how responsive it is on the timeline. With the 2018 updates to Adobe Premiere Pro, it is about equally fast on export to H264 as FCPX, but not nearly as fast scrubbing the timeline. However that is color-graded only, not using any effects. Using FCPX 10.4.3 on my 2017 iMac (which has a 4Gh i7-7700K and an 8GB Radeon Pro 580), it takes 38 sec to export 60 sec of color-graded 4k Sony XAVC-S. This software actually utilizes your hardware and I was able to render 4k video fully colour graded with effects in a 2:1 ratio.
