I do have a ton of effects going, including motion blur but other than motion blur not a lot of the major hogs however, I'm not the expert on all of them. A bit of motion blur but not throughout and a bit of tracked stuff but via mocha not camera tracker. It is still rendering at h264, .mp4 is what I ended up going with after a small test. But looks like it will render until tomorrow afternoon. I have the DNxHD but haven't tried that in a while.
