Posts: 2464Video editing and other nerdy shit
The following was originally posted by Herbie53. It is obvious he knows his shit. He is responding to a member who was complaining his editing of personal videos took way too much time and felt he needed a faster computer. With his permission, I felt this needed to live permanently in this thread:
Herbie53.
Always good to meet fellow command liners. I worked a good stint for AT&T in the early to mid 80's, and cut my teeth on early iterations of System V Unix and C. After AT&T, BSD was my game, and back then, basically the same OS. However, I'm very happy to not be programming anymore, or even working in any development or system management. Crap is getting real out there now with all the security breaches.
Being that your CPU is 2017 era, and Premier Pro is 2015, there likely has been a big jump in refinement and performance ability to take advantage of the more modern CPU cores that you have, than what the 2015 release can exploit. While it may not be worth the monthly or annual fee for the latest version of Premier Pro, it could be interesting to see how it performs, and a 30 day free trial may be worth looking at to see if it helps render performance. Of course, as with any newer version, stuff gets moved and there is a new learning curve. And I have no idea now installing a trail version may affect your current installation. Perhaps being wary is wise, or using a small dual boot partition to test it out. I have used unregistered versions of Win10 on several machines to test stuff then reformat, and other than the occasion nag screen or inability to change wallpaper (oh my! It runs just like a registered copy.
With that said, and I'm speaking from a 2018 point of view, and don't have any current experience with Premier Pro from 2015, you may try rendering out at single pass, at a max bit rate of 15 mbps. Single pass encoding has really improved visually in the past couple years, so I don't know how it will look with 2015 iterations, but I rarely use multi-pass encoding unless it is something going on TV, large projections, or high end viewing systems.
Web streaming, computer playback, 60 inch 1080 p HDTVs et al. , all look fine (to me) at single pass and 15 mbps, and I've never had any client issues on uploads to the major streaming services. Even at 1080 p, improvements in visual quality above 12 mbps single pass are difficult for most people to see outside of a studio quality environment.
Consumer gear can't show the difference. It's like for audio, they want "the best" and yeah, I can record your audio at 64 bits at 192 kHz, but the typical user is going to listen to it as an mp3 on $12 earbuds, speakers from Best Buy, or worse, built in TV speakers, and the streaming services are going to be 16 or 24 bit at 160 kHz. Why bother? It's a TV commercial that will die in 90 days, and at best, be on YouTube for a few decades. Most people don't have class A amplifiers and Genelec monitors in their home, or acoustically treated rooms, so why waste the resources and storage space to record audio at such fidelity for ordinary projects? But if they pay for it, so it shall be done.
Anyway, I always generate a ProRes 422 or 444 master file from a finished project and archive it, in addition to the lower bitrate and quality mp4 files. That way I can always bring the master file into a new project file and render in other formats or quality settings if needed.
My typical settings for 4 K to 1080 p mp4 output are: single pass, 15 mbps max bitrate, frame reordering turned on (helps a bit with compression size for some types of source video, but not so much for others), optimized for web streaming, (also called fast start) which puts the moov atom (kind of a table of contents of the mp4 container) at the front of the file, so html 5 video playback can start immediately instead of waiting to start playback.
I have played, tweaked, tested and generally spent too much time trying different combinations of settings, and I have found that for me, these settings produce consistent quality results and good render speed. On average, I'd say rendering is about 1. 5 times faster than real time. Of course, render times are greatly affected by the content of the images in the frames, but my shooting is varied and I consistently get faster than real time rendering using these settings when going 4 K to 1080 p mp4, on systems with specs similar to yours.
Perhaps testing a short 1 minute clip render using settings similar to what I use, and then the same 1 minute clip using what you normally use, and comparing the output quality and render time, then seeing how they land. I too would be frustrated with a 10 minute clip taking 45 minutes to render. Also, if you find that a 1 minute clip can meet your visual standards and give better render time using a configuration similar to what I use, but then find that a 10 minute clip using the same still takes 45 minutes or so, then it may be a heat dissipation and throttling issue causing the CPU to slow down when long clips are rendered. Notwithstanding that, since you have a great hardware setup for your system, then perhaps the older version of Premier Pro is the bottleneck if it's not a heat issue, since you have ample hardware.
Good to find another nix user, and sudo. Somebody has to know how to pilot the ship. Rbie53.

Posts: 2New to town
I've visited one MP in my life, just wasn't for me.
Looking for a regular massage, weekly / monthly TBD. What would be a good way to find a regular incall provider without visiting the parlors?
Thanks in advance.

How do you edit or delete a post? Can't seem to find the edit button anymore.

I do carry a pistol just in case I'm surprised during a visit. I don't rely solely on it. If we are having a dream at her location I make sure that no one else is in the room before I decide to lay down. I also make note to secure the door myself. So once your in the room, door is lock and it's just you two what else do you have to worry about. Well I do keep my pistol within reach but out of sight. Now I've been lucky of never having to use it but it's come out several times. Most recent was this past Thanksgiving I had just got done visiting a girl who I know has management. Well as I was leaving he blocked me in and said I owed him money because I took longer than I should. As he reached for his pistol mine was out. I took his pistol and had him move his car. So it's safe to carry but it has to be at the ready to use.
