Question

Suggestions for alternative effects

I am creating a series of gaming videos with my wife in which I have her video as a picture in picture over my video and I am using some effects that are probably causing me more export time than I need. Currently for 90 min video it is taking about 12 hours to export.

 

There are no effects on the main video, not even color.

The picture in picture video I am using the following effects:

Position

Scale

Opacity: 100%

Blend Mode: Screen (this looked the best to me, but maybe just using Opacity 70% would be faster?)

Basic 3D Swivel: 10 degrees

Noise: Amount 20% (makes it look like a low quality transmission)

Bevel Alpha: This can be removed but the way I have it set it looks kind of 3D.

 

Are there alternatives to any of these effects or recommend removing any?

 

Thanks in advance,

-Lindsay

 

P.S. Before it is asked...

Intel i7-5820K
32 GB RAM

SSD for programs (including premiere)

M.2 drive for scratch and video files

Nvidia 1080Ti Graphics Card

Windows 10 (all drivers and updates installed)

90 minutes is like a full length motion picture and is HUGE for byte count even if it's only full HD.

 

get over it.

Ok, seriously, I am not complaining; did you read or just jump on the "rendering takes time" bandwagon. I know it takes time, I was wondering if there was any effects that were less processor intensive for the same aproximate look I was going for.

 

I found that Bevel Alpha was adding about 6 hours all by itself, so I remove that as I do not think it adds much to what I was doing visually.

 

It looks like Noise is adding just over double the time. I am using the default Noise effect at 20%. It may be worth the time as I think that is a huge visual. Is there a better alternative (less intensive) effect that makes it look like there is noise on the video?

I really don't know. noise ( denoiser or noise addition ) adds stuff to each frame to that's intensive for the cpu on export ( even if some GPU is helping ). I suggest you do an adjustment with the WAB and export small portion so it only takes a minute or so to export... and put that back into PPro or into VLC and look at it ... see if it's OK for what you want to accomplish.

 

good luck
