Well, it depends on the complexity of your DVR project and on your laptop of course. You might want to add your voukoder logfile of that export session to this thread.
Well, of course FFmpeg as standalone is faster than DVR + Voukoder, because DVR is rendering the frames before Voukoder can encode them. You'd have to compare:
Ok I will send log file tonight, anyway the DVR project is very simple because is only a test: a 4K clip, with a LUT applied, scaled at 1080p. As I wrote, export to a similar codec (dnxhd) is faster, around real time. Vokoder prores take 5 times.
A info: if I encode on the same PC a prores file using ffmpeg is a lot faster.
Plugin uses prores_ks which is closer with bitrates etc. to official encoder and ffmpeg default ProRes encoder is prores, which is way faster than _ks version. Use prores_ks in ffmpeg then then compare times.
"prores"/"prores_aw" is the less advanced encoder, though it might be faster. It accepts only one setting - the "vendor" (which you'd most likely default to "apl0" anyway).
Can add it too if you really want it ...
I can confirm - I tried to export a simple 8 seconds clip from DR17 and Voukoder with ProRes is super slow compared to native codecs.
Export takes like 10 times longer than in Grass Valley HQX or Cineform.
Do you have any suggestions on the best settings for the lossless roundtrip to Vegas Pro?
Also, it would be great if Voukoder could support MagicYUV codec. Is that possible?
Use DNxHR or Cineform which is direct ProRes alternative.
Both should work fine in Vegas (and in Resolve).
For lossless option you can use 10bit uncompressed (v210) or RGB 10bit, but files will be big.
Yeah, I've noticed that, too.
