Communigate Pro AE-List@media-motion.tv Message 63507

Just an FYI with my tests.

I tried exporting out using an aftercodecs preset I made for mp4 at 70%

The segments all rendered well, but when it came time to stitch them all together, it only ever errored out. Tried a few different times. I'm guessing it has to do with the way aftercodecs uses Ffmpeg to make its renders first, and render garden trying to send those through Ffmpeg again.

What's a good codec to use on PC that'll save me space while using rendergarden to do the final mp4? I don't want to make a 4 minute video in a format that makes huge file sizes to then stitch together to the small one just for sending proofs to clients and stuff. Would like to save space overall during the process.

Also would be cool for RG to remove all the segmented renders and seed folder when it's done stitching the final together. Just to save space and time.

Like the regular AE applications, aerender will share the Adobe pool of memory, set up in Preferences. If you have multiple running, they do whatever Adobe applications do to try to share it.

There is the -mem_usage argument to aerender that you could experiment with, adding it to the aerender template. In our testing, -mem_usage had some effect on the memory used, but not much. Mainly, if aerender was holding onto frames in the image cache for no good reason, -mem_usage would persuade it to clear them. But if a render needs all that memory, nothing you do to -mem_usage will make it use less.
