Project render (without Color 3 Way): 1) ffmpeg mp4 (preset audio/video: h264.mp4) --> 2'41" (11.106 fps) 29MB Loading the render in CinGG --> 2.5 sec; playback --> 30 fps. Hard Cut + Transition --> 30 sec 2) ffmpeg pro (preset: acc256k.pro; med422p10.pro) --> 2'14" (13.367 fps) 975MB Loading the render in CinGG --> 3 sec; playback --> 30 fps. Hard Cut + Transition --> 30 sec 3) ffmpeg mkv (preset: flac.mkv; ffv1.mkv) --> 2'16" (13.162 fps) 926MB Loading the render in CinGG --> 9 sec; playback --> 30 fps. Hard Cut + Transition --> 30 sec
