How to make the Frame.io upload encoding use HW rather than SW encoding

Hi All,

 

Is there any way to make the Frame.io extension upload workflow use HW rather than SW encoding? What I mean is when I upload the active sequence, the extension launches Media Encoder to create the video for upload but that encoding uses SW rather than HW.

 

This takes a lot longer than encoding with HW for my sequence (we'll at least with my output settings) and I'd like to try and decrease that time.

 

Thanks, TonyG

Here's what I did for myself.

 

1. In the Frame.io panel I selected Upload > Active Sequence. And under Preset I selected "Web 1080" and then click upload.

2. After Media Encoder was done encoding that Frame.io job I reset the status of the job in Media Encoder and then changed the export settings from Software to Hardware encoding - and whatever else I wanted to change.

3. I then saved the preset with a specific name.

4. Then I exported the preset to a specific place on my hard drive I knew I can find.

5. I went to Premiere and went back to the Frame.io panel. And again clicked upload active sequence. 

6. Next to Preset I pulled down that menu and selected "Select Preset File" and then navigated to the ".epr" file I saved earlier.

7. Now I have a custom preset in the frame.io panel.

 

I hope that helps you.

Thanks - Appreciate the response - Frame.io support came back to me and said basically the same thing.

Should have added their link as well - Upload a sequence with a custom render preset
