Again a problem with RED footage and render and tracking
by Robin Erard on Aug 16, 2009 at 9:13:55 am

Hello,

I discover an other bug during the rendering of a Red footage 4k in Prores4444 2k (perhaps this problem exist also in dpx).

Some shots of the movie have been tracked (eyes, faces) with automatic trackers.

I reajusted shapes when it was usefull.

But during the render, shapes disconect themself from the trackers or drift in an other part of the image.

When I stop the render, everything looks ok in the timeline, shapes are still connected. If a put in the render Queue only one shot with automatic trackers and render it, it works fine. An idea ?

Are you using handles on the rendered clips in this project? If so, try with handles set to 0 and let us know if that helps.

Hello,

thank's for your message. Like you I thaught it comes from the handles... but it's not the case.

Perhaps my computer is't enough fast when it jumps from one clip to an other during the render.

it's a little strange because it's a 8core with 8gig RAM.

I will begin new renders in few days in dpx for the final renders of the film. I will see if it works better like this.

All the best

Robin

COLOR is GPU intensive, and until multi-thread becomes available, # of cores is largely irrelevant.

Color doesn't really care how much RAM your system has. It's all about the GPU. The less memory your graphics card has, the slower Color will be and less things you can do. At the bare minimum, I would have an ATI 1900 card in any system that's running Color.

At this point in time with FCS3, I would not even try to bring RED, DPX or any other high data rate footage into Color without a graphics card that has at least 512MB on the board. This is just from what I've seen, so your mileage may vary.
