JPG Proxies were used for the assembly/online. But render all have been replaced with RAW for a final CC – client did that – I’m just doing the DCP render but have to open/close the file a number of times, save. It takes several minutes to save.

 

I’m going to do short render test but I’m thinking of charging the client for an SSD drive.

A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.

Jesus christ. Buy a mainframe from IBM? Honestly the only thing I can think of is to bake the pics from .raw to JPG proxies.

I’ve got a client supplied AE CS6 project file that is 1.5Gb – takes an hour and half to open. It’s a 37 minute 4K film that I’m creating a DCP. It’s already reduced. It’s created from DSLR pics – 2.6 TB of RAW files.

 

Any under the hood performance tweaks that might help AE handle the file better? The render machine I have does not have a SSD unfortunately which would help a bit with load times it appears the load is mostly checking the 2.6 TB of RAW files.
