Hey guys,
I tried the demo version of the resolve plugin, did some side by side comparisons and overall left me very positive.
Currently if we render something important we export MXF 4:2:2 from resolve and encode in other software like staxrip. But this is extra steps in the process and not as convenient as rendering from resolve.
Also not all my co-workers share my enthusiasm for rendering so a workflow in resolve would be the best.
Following comments regard h264 and h265.
First foremost conclusion is that native mp4 h264 in resolve is so unbelievably bad, the Nvidia version is with some setting tweaking actually much better.
Am looking forward for the main concept NVENC Hybrid solution in the plugin, if that is able to improve some steps over the original Nvidia implementation I'm all onboard.
What i noticed is that Slow/ultimo quality is not ultimo quality enough. When at slow I'm still rendering at 110-90fps there is more quality/bitrate to win.
With third party open source tools you can do a lot better quality/bitrate wise, off course with a speed tradeoff but when you encode once and it will be watched a thousand times that often is worth it.
So i would ask for a extra placebo, 2-pass, full RD hadamard exhaustive search with lots of B-frames enz...... setting/pre-set for the real important renders.
Same goes for the future hybrid approach, lets make it as ultimo quality/bitrate as possible render times no issue, and then do the slider from there to faster options.
The audio SDK mentions the Fraunhofer AAC encoder, is this also used in the resolve plugin?
And if so do you use the Fraunhofer FHG-AAC or the FDK-AAC? (FHG-AAC is actually much better)
How does the licensing for the plugin work? can I have it active on 1 system only or for example a work machine and home machine with one license.
If i buy the one-time license now, will this include the hybrid rendering in the future when released? or would that only happen when having the subscription?
Thanks, and keep up the great work
