![]() I've tried rendering from HDD1 to HDD2, HDD1 to SSD1, HDD2 to RAM, RAM to SSD, RAM to RAM and there is no noticeable difference in any of them. My drives were HDD1(boot: SATA2) HDD2 (Projects: SATA3) SSD (Export: SATA3) RAM (Projects/Export and ridiculously fast) In my own experience using an SSD wasn't faster than using an HDD drive, unless it's perhaps the boot drive (which I've not yet tried). So, 4x project length to render doesn't sound unusual. ![]() 1.5 to 2.0 is probably the best one would see. For complex VFX/animation then upgrading the GPU is advantageous.Įven with current generation hardware and multiple SSDs it would be unlikely you'd see real-time exports. Mostly cutting footage without complex effects, CPU upgrade - speeding up file encode/decode - might have the most benefit. Relative benefits depend more on what's being edited. Obviously upgrading to current generation stuff would help, but, again, that gets expensive. You'd ne needing external SSD and that can get expensive Having OS, Hitfilm, source and render all on a single drive is certainly a bottleneck.Įxternal hard drives tend to have speed issues. Ideally a render machine would have multiple hard drives: one for OS, one for Programs and cache files, at least one for source files, and one for final renders. You're using a hard drive, so that's a bottleneck. Some recent user tests showed marked increase in render speed using a test project from Hitfilms 4 to v8.0 (current is v8.1). That said, the Hitfilm devs have been optimizing and improving the code. ![]() This multiple handoff in Hitfilm does have its own little bottleneck, and testing by some of our most technical users suggests Hitfilm's render code isn't as fast as some others. CPU decompresses file, pass to GPU for render, pass back to CPU for file encode and write to drive. Render order in Hitfilm is CPU reads file from drive. Otherwise, most of your options are hardware based. Transcoding source footage would help someone using mp4, but you're using ProRes, so you started with a fast codec. There really aren't any magic Hitfilm settings to improve rendering performance other than turning down color depth settings, which can impact quality. ![]()
