Hello Adobe Community,
We are a small company in southern California capturing 8mm film in a JPEG sequence and returning it to customers in a full 1080p movie.
Our largest problem as of late is that we can capture up to 4000 feet of film on a day to day basis but only render 1200 ft. This equates to approximately 240 minutes of capture with only 72 minutes of product. Our process consists of capturing the film onto an external drive, moving that drive to our editing computer (I will include specs below) and then editing and rendering on the editing computer. Our editing is very simple. We use: 8mm Settings; Fast Color Correction and Reduce Grain v4. Our average amount of grain per clip is 18-26. When we export the clip to AME we are averaging about 30 minutes of rendering per each 3 minute clip. We simply can not operate at these speeds so we need either a way to speed up our encoder process with internal changes to the computer or changes to how we edit the film. We can not lose the grain reduction however we could stand to not do color correction. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
