Congratulations Brendan and Matt, I was impressed with the beta and we're going to purchase a dozen or more licenses for my current gig.

We're planning to use a regular farm for heavy lifting along with the garden for shorter renders... I'd love to know whether the Garden could be employed to maximize the use of processors in a farm setup? Any integration tips would be appreciated.

Congrats again,

Brian

Correct, the combining of movie segments does not involve re-encoding, while the Post Render Actions do (since they usually are converting your render to a different codec).

If you see shifts in the Post Render Action movies, are you doing the comparison in After Effects? ProRes movies often look different in QuickTime player. And ProRes is a lossy YUV codec, so you expect at least a small change from the original RGB.

If there's something beyond that, send us some steps to reproduce and maybe we can get to the bottom of it. Maybe the FFmpeg command line could be altered.
