Re: Smoke & FCP....
by Dan Nethery (Dannyboyfl) on May 6, 2008 at 5:38:30 pm

We are hoping to bring the quality of the shows up, and speed up the whole render thing... Right now a 19 minute show is taking about 6 hours to render in FCP... We do a lot of basic compositing using using Blurs (Defocus) and mattes. We also build and fix a lot of stuff in After effects. When it comes to Color stuff. Its an overnight render on 3 to 4 machines... I'm rendering them out by segments. Then re combing the render files from the san on to one machine... Our san is pretty fast, and our computers are the latest and greatest from january of this year.

The render time isn't the only thing. I need the highest quality possible on the rendered effects. Right now our stuff looks great, but we need our stuff to be incredible. I can afford to render my stuff our from Smoke uncompressed and burn out to tape with FCP (uncompressed). I'm just wanting the shows to finish faster and look cleaner and better...

You guys can tell me that I'm barking up the wrong tree... your not going to hurt my feelings.
