Re: Imagine Products ShotPut Pro and ProxyMill workflow

Personally, I use Shotput Pro's standard verification ("File Size Comparison (Fastest)"....The Imagine guys said that the more stringent "File Contents Verification" is really there for people who are paranoid. Their words, not mine! ;-)

I've had no problem with the faster verification method, and I found that using the slower method almost doubles the transfer times.

Anyway, I would love to use ProxyMill for making proxies, but it doesn't take advantage of multiple cores on a Mac Pro very well. I have a Nehalem 8 core MP, and Proxy Mill uses about 200% of my machine's CPU load, whereas Compressor can use about 4 times as much. It's just much faster. The Imagine guys told me that they're going to take advantage of some of Snow Leopard's features to speed that up...when that happens, I hope to become a ProxyMill user too.
