Yes! It is indeed about rendering with the GPU, which I think I'll do from now on, just simply because of how much faster it is. Do you usually export with the CPU? Thank you! It really has been SUCH ... I would never export with gpu, due to the errors it produces. Cpu rendering is required for visual quality and clarity. I understand why you ask this though, the render time you were given was insane. I presume your cpu is not terrible though, so that's down to, either Premier has issues, or it was to do with the layering of effects, etc. I did one send my render time sky high, that was when I tried to add film grain to a film that didn't need it.

are you able to make that a proper link or tell us the information?

oh is this rendering with the GPU? I wish I had cottoned on to that sooner because I knew about the issues with gpu encoding. my apologies for not paying attention, I could have saved you some trouble. well done for getting there anyhow! it's been rather a large headache for you hasn't it.

Update. I finally managed a complete hardware export. I managed this by pre-rendering all After Effects sequences, un-nesting nearly all sequences, and updating to Premiere Pro 2025. I can now do the full 4K export in about 5 hours, which is of course an incredible improvement over 300+ hours. Switching to hardware export does introduce problems, however. Many of the transitions between slowed down shots have become glitched and some of the effects render in a different manner. More interestingly, perhaps, I also found out that hardware export utilizes a simplified codec. Software encoders use more sophisticated analysis, allowing for better processing of details. Hardware encoders tend to be more aggressive with de-noising and smoothing to hit their speed targets. In professional production software exports are always used. Nevertheless, I think the export looks good. For all the doubts I've had, I am actually quite satisfied with my color regrade. I watched through the edit yesterday for quality control. I have to fix 35 glitches or so. I am also considering cutting out two scenes in act 1 that don't particularly add much, and perhaps just make the edit confusing and slow the pacing. It is going to take a while to make these final adjustments, but the end is in sight. It is a big relief that at least the export itself will be swift. Once it is finished I will also have to put together some sort of a trailer before I can release it, but I don't expect that to take too long. Furthermore, since I pre-rendered most of my special effects now, I intend to make them publicly available for others to use in their edits.

https://www.focusfeatures.com/article/focus-features-working-title-studiocanal-set-pressure-release-date This is a new film that is getting a release really soon! Man it's so nice filling the calendar. I'm curious what the heck this is? Any thoughts? Has anyone read or seen the original source material?

I'd also really love a bell at the top to show when someone replies to my message, it'd be nice. . That would be notifications. I did mention that in my last update. please check it.

there are options for listing type on the submission form, animation is part of that.  the page for displaying fanedits will need to have filters and/or categories though and that wil naturally be one...

Sorted by editor will also be part of that of course. those controls will include many different ways to sort and filter.

I know we don't have too many edits yet, but when we do there's some particular things I'd love to see!! 1. An animation category, I've just mentioned this on fe.org and I'd love it here too, animated movies may not be the most popular to fan-edit but that does not mean they are not important. Also can we have edits sorted by editor? and genres / IPS so all Matrix edits or Star Wars fall under that franchise section? I could think of more.

I realise the way I phrased that may seem callous. I apologise. That was not my intention. I just don't have a good attention span due to my adhd so my attention is a tricky thing to navigate. and sorry to double post.

I have added the ability to react to posts. You can add a thumbs up or a love or a laugh or a celebrate or a idea reaction. I think this is like a good 'likes' system, or thumbs up or rating or however you want to call it. in my mission statement I said I want an upvote type thing like reddit but without the negativity. So I think this is good. at some point it may be possible to order things by how many reacts they have, but i'm not entirely sure about that right now. I'm also more keenly aware that I need to be looking at adding an in site notification, not just the email notifications. My next task is images though. The current images system doesn't have good management options and you can't easily access the images you may have uploaded. also, I have no resized versions and that makes some page loads really cumbersome and inefficient. I aim to improve that.

Which edits would you be interested in? I'm not interested in any edits, but since you said this was for previews, then that's usually a case of an edit that is not finalised and needs feedback. So if you wanted feedback on a 3 minute section, I can help with that. Sorry if I gave the wrong impression.

Which edits would you be interested in?

it's not really possible to give timestamps for fast edits in a youtube video. but my feedback applies to all of the flashbacks, and my feedback was written as I was watching so they are in the right order for the sections you have shown.

can you specifically highlight timestamps? Your saying less shots for flashbacks? I didn't address why Grace isn't with him, idk how to. That's a good point. The crossfades were done by Spence, the whole plane sequence I borrowed from his edit (with his explicit permission ofc) `

have you added foley? one thing I couldn't abide in this movie was the bizarre sound choices. the flashbacks don't work for me, they are too fast and make me feel dazzled. did you add the iris transition or was that them? The iris transition doesn't work for me. if you're cutting for less time, I would probably have less shots, rather than the almost strobe like shot changes. when you open with ethan running in London, do you address why Grace is no longer with him? Or is this implied elsewhere? did you add the cross fades during the plane travelling ethan captured bit? those cross fades work well. I have to stop watching here, my attention has gone elsewhere. Good work so far though, keep it up!

Nice! well I can't preview entire edits but I can always give feedback on short clips.

This is a sizzle of all my edits for the opening act. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTHIzmkDJ9M&t=5s

Interested in any previewers who could view my edits. Message if interested. Also starting this discussion so we can have a formal place for folks to get their media reviewed/garner feedback.

I need to add some reaction emotes to these posts, no way to give a thumbs up or anything.That sounds bizarre, but then there are deep fried mars bars and all that so I understand your reasoning. One can currently post an emote within the messages to express a reaction, though I do get where your coming from though and it would be a cool feature. Sometimes emotes express more than words can convey. It really was, don't know if it was the most reasonable thing for me to do at the time but it was certainly a fun experiment and I can look back and laugh with my past self, yeah the world of mixed sugar foods gets weirder by the month/year and it,ll probably continue to do so.

I would not have the mental willpower to consume a Pigs cheek let alone it's head, as for regular pork though yummy, yummy, yummy. As for the strangest piece of food I've eaten, back in college I consumed a Dairy Milk Chocolate Bar with Tomato Ketchup spread ontop, I think my general thought process at the time was ''What weird things can I mix and eat together'' The taste was.....quite overpowering, would I consume such a thing again? hmm....maybe''

Thank you for your sympathy. I think you're right. Ah well, hopefully I'll be able to do a hardware export soon! And it'll be done in a day, maybe two.

I'm sorry to hear of these woes. it sounds like a real headache. I don't know if it's the same as resolve, but I think those adjustment layers may be the culprit of your long render time. I know that as you add complexity to each frame in resolve it just makes things spiral. I find it's better to keep an edit as flat as possible.
