I'll add some more data:
1- Using the video indicated by MatN: http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/4khdr/Passengers_Breakfast_4K.mkv
It is loaded into timeline in 8 sec. Playback is 17-19 Fps.
Rendering that file in mkv (ffv1) in CinGG I get: Load=18 sec; playback=19 Fps
It would appear that part of the problem is CinGG.
2- I read that mkv often has seek problems, even with external players. One solution is to use mkvtoolnix-cli to rebuild the file structure (muxing), after which it works well. I tried but nothing has changed. |

After you have compared the archive format FFV1 with the cut format ProRes extensively and Matroska does not cause any problems anymore the bug could be closed. Or what do you think? |

Phyllis (and IgorBeg), thank you for all the tests you've done. Now we have different material to make a comparison. |

Andrea_Paz, sorry if I am writing here my tests about rendering time. (They are Off Topic)
The "WhatTimeIsIt_TestRendering_Preset.txt" is like in your (by Andrea_Paz) tests.
The "WhatTimeIsIt_TestRendering_a256k-v5000k.txt " is with Audio and Video bitrate respectively 256k and 5000k.

My thanks to Andrea for the results and IgorB for providing the test. I am going to try to do the same tests and compare the results in StupidTest.txt to see what I get on a Ryzen AMD laptop. |

Wow!
Andrea_Paz, thank you so much for your tests. Your tests say very much on a powerful PC like your.
Unfortunately I can not test "framerate achieved" in full resolution. My PC says to me: "Hey! I am only a dualcore-twoThread, and not i3-i5-i7 !?".
But with Proxy enabled (scale: 1/4, Scaler=disabled) the Color3way effect is really a resource eater. In the next days I will do more tests about.
I will try to reproduce your rendering tests on my PC. Thanks.
(yesterday evening I have done .mov, .qt, .ogg) |

I did some quick tests with the project provided by IgorBeg (thank you, I should have done it; I apologize).
StupidTest.txt (1,322 bytes)
My system: Notebook Intel i7 2720QM 2.2MHz; Nvidia gtx460M; 12GB RAM; SSD.
Arch Linux KDE
project (by IgorBeg): WathTimeIsIt.xml
Playback driver: video: Cut: Transition: Zoom: Title:
X11-OpenGL 9.5-9.7 9.2-9.5 7.5 6 12 fps
X11 Direct 9.8-10 9.8 8 6 6 fps
No Color3Way 25 23 14 10 13 fps
NOTE:
1- Using or not using "Play every frame" only changes by 1 - 3 fps.
2- When you use the zoom you have a fall of fps.
3- Switching between edits only loses fractions of fps.
4- Transitions make you lose 1 - 2 fps.
5- Heavy plugins like Color 3 Way cause the fall of fps.
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

I have done a "stupid" Project (total time= 1 minute) to make a few of tests. So if we have a common base it can be more useful, I think.
My goal was for rendering time but it may be useful also for your test.
In my "stupid" project there are transitions, autos, and what You and I use in editing video (or at least I hope). So you can say me:
- "in transition dissolve how many fps have you?"
- "try to disable Color3way effect and test again, please"...

The first good news is that the slowdown problems are no longer there. Between GG's work on deadlocks and my reinstalling arch and then CinGG, I don't now have obvious and annoying drops. In addition, not even with "Play every frame" checked I find slowdowns. In practice, I went back to the days when I hadn't noticed any problems.
The second least good news is that mkvs always show problems. I lined up edit mp4, pro, mkv and png images, putting transitions between them and applying the Videoscope to the entire track. Then I played back the shots watching the "" in Preferences-->playbackA*. The fps are always around 30 except in edit mkv where they drop to 22 - 24 fps, sometimes even 19 fps.
I've used very big videos, so I can't load them to make them available, but I'll try to make some minimal renderings so that everyone can use the EDL for their tests. Be patient IgorBeg, lately I have had many messes with Arch Linux. |

@MatN
thanks for your feedback. I am waiting for an idea by @Andrea_Paz (author of the request). I could make a stupid but reasonable Project with three my videos (for license problem?) with two or three effects and then upload. So everyone can download it, make rendering with parameters Andrea_Paz says (or other users say) to evaluate the differences. If someone already has a very short Project with source video files to share, it would be better. |
|
|
|
@IgorBeg, that table with the rendering is useful information.
Maybe a updated list can be compiled with the most desired inputs and outputs and put in an appendix of the manual? |
|
|
|
Maybe, we could make comparative tests with the same Project and Source files (only 30 seconds or less). So the differences would be our machine and Operative System, but more useful.
You could write the parameters for different rendering: codec (not more of 10), format, audio bitrate, video bitrate and so on.
Then we can write a table with: Machine x core, OS-xyz, loading time and rendering time for codec xyz.
It could be useful to see the difference between more Linux distribution (Arch, Ubuntu, Mint, Suse, ...)
Only an idea, of course.
Time ago, at the beginning of my Adventure with Cinelerra-GG, I have done this Rendering tests.
TestRendering.txt (1,028 bytes)
Only for reference.
On my old Pc (cpu 1core), editing HD (720p), 24fps, yuva420p,
with 5 video tracks (video sources: .mp4, 720p, 29.97fps) and
2 audio tracks (stereo).
Render 1 minute of editing (bit rate: audio= 384k; video=5000k):
(rendering all to 5000k, excluding MP4-fastart that
was forced to an other value).

From a user viewpoint I see similar bad results when rendering. Batch rendering took about 4 times longer on a multi-core system.
MP4 Big Buck Bunny 1920x1080 CPU = 9:30 FPS = 66.814
MKV Big Buck Bunny 1920x1080 CPU = 35:29 FPS = 17.915
MP4 720 Cartoon CPU = 0:13 FPS = 140.804
MKV 720 Cartoon CPU = 1:03 FPS = 30.488 |
