DVFilm RAYLIGHT is here

Nice. Gives me full-speed in Vegas at 720p.

It does David!

That's good news if it does!

Oddy, their web page said to expect 1 to 10 frames/sec, but maybe the frame rate was never updated correctly for 720p.

Was this set to the "blue" high quality setting?

I'm off to buy this.

Yes, it was "blue." I had the Vegas preview on "Good," but it was playing at 23.976.

Also, there's no template for 720p24, so just use the 24p DV template and then change it to 1280x720.

I have a dual-core AMD64.
 
Previewing out, it gives me 21-22 fps.

Adding any effects, though, drops it considerably. Light color correction takes it down to 15 or so.
 
However, if the "blue" setting still gives you problems, the "yellow" setting is still very good. You might not even see much of a difference.
 
Like I said -- AMD64 X2 4400+ dual-core; 1.5 gigs PC3200 RAM (just lost a 512MB stick; had 2 gigs).

The cool thing about Raylight is that you can switch quality settings on the fly -- work in one, then play back in a lower setting. That's neat.

True integration would be better, but . . .

Would love to give it a whirl with 1080p.
 
OK, now I'm not getting full playback at Blue. I do at Yellow, but not Blue.

But like I said, it doesn't matter -- do your detail work in Blue and play back at Yellow or Red for full framerate, and life is good.
 
Hi David, thanks for taking it for a spin... how is actual render speed when exporting to the format of your choice at the same framerate/size?

I found that the first demo rendered to a QT PhotoJPG at about 1 fps with Vegas 5 on an older dual Xeon 3.0...


BTW, where did you find the 720 raw files to experiment with?

Thanks,

Jim Arthurs

If it looks bad, you did something wrong. Did you try the various quality settings (red/yellow/blue)?

ah, the control settings. Oops? :D

wow it looks amazing. :grin:
 
At full quality, to a 1280x720 24p uncompressed AVI, it took about 2.5 minutes to render 28 seconds.

Similar time to render to HD WMV, 24p.

100% quality QT Photo JPEG was a little over 3 minutes.

This is all with no effects or transitions.
 
I'm going to put some MXF files on our website, very small ones.

Also I am interested in feedback on Raylight, particularly the
performance improvements in each mode. Blue renders at about
3x-5X slower than real time. Yellow is real time for most computers,
assuming that you have striped drives. Hopefully Red is
guaranteed real time even with a single drive. All of it can
stand more work, but there are only so many hours in the
day, y'know. Which is more important for the typical
filmmaker? It would be possible to make the decoding process
dual-thread or even quad-thread, but how many of us have
multiple processors?

Distributed rendering over a network would ROCK! :thumbsup:

You'd be surprised. I think it's becoming pretty standard to have multiple processor computers. If you build it, we will come. :thumbsup:
