After re-reading the "basic architechure of avid" doc. It looks like avid is very focused on real time playback, but has neglected rendering performance optimizations. I am the kind of person who is constantly rendering because I hate any choppiness while working (which is why i don't mind transcoding). Even with real time playback there

I appreciate the response. I was getting 100% on all cpu cores and great GPU usage for a bit, but it flucuates a lot. It would be cool if there was more advanced monitoring with Media Composer, I think it would help everyone. I wish I knew what clip and effect was being rendered. That way we could do a lot more analysis on whats happening. For example

Is this on the roadmap? Is there a list on what uses gpu (and therefore cpu). I'm rendering a uhd timeline with timewarps and timecode burn in. These are avid built in fx. There is no reason why my utilization should drop to 35% Avid is stepping up their resolutions without improving the rendering. They kind of go hand in hand no?

In the past I have asked for Avid to specify which version of windows (the 4 digit number) is reccomended and got no response. Even the way its written in the readme doesnt make sense: "Windows v10 64-bit (Professional, Creators, and Enterprise)." Why the "and" when saying edition, build, edition creators (1703 i think) /\ pro enterprise

Make sure they’re nas/red/etc drives for raid. i have 10x 8tb iron wolf drives and built a 3rd party nexis 10gigabit server with freenas and mimiq. All diy. For my home setup! This is all somewhat new to me though. Love this crap. Good luck, msg me any time.

Well, you’ll cry tears of joy making proxies on an 18 core 7980xe. its crazy how fast it will do it providing your storage can keep up. open up task manager, see every core/thread at 100% and it’s like watching a race horse you bet on winning. youll jump out of your seat and yelling at the screen GOOO!! soery, these things excite me.

qualified Gpu’s are probably the only thing that would give me better playback performance and even that’s even hard to say 100%.. hd footage? I’m editing uhd these days in mc. This new computer of yours will eat Hd for breakfast. the only time I regret editing uhd is when I delete my pre computes and re-render my entire timeline with

I don’t use a qualified card (I use a 1080ti) so it’s hard for me to comment on that. today, if I were starting from scratch I’d definitely get a qualified gpu though. looking at the current readme, it looks like the P cards are the most qualified and probably will remain the most qualified cards longer than any other gpu’s.

Just use Avid media processor export. its the best way to export now.

“Importing” is obsolete. link then transcode, this method will use all your cores. I always have my task manager pinned to task bar so I can see my cpu usage with a click of a button. This will show the percentage of your drives use too. So if your drive is showing 90% obviously that’s your bottle neck. Small usb powered drives will
