 Hi guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rosala here. So for today's video I want to do a little bit of testing with different render profiles on Kaden live and seeing how quickly each of those render profiles renders out a small amount of footage and accompanying music or sound and I'm also just going to note how long it took and what the result in file size was so I did this Benchmarking process if you will recently and I posted it on reddit But I'm just going to actually show you guys the methodology. So there's no no secrets here So what I'm going to do is I'm just going to get a bit of stock video footage I'm going to just take a free bit of stock video from Pexels and then I'm going to go Free background Music I'm just gonna get some music as well because usually the stock video doesn't include footage I'm just going to grab some from Pixabay my internet's a little bit slow because I'm currently uploading a video to YouTube So let's just check out this bit of footage here I'm just going to use 15 seconds of footage just so the renders are going to be quick for me So that's 14 second clip of a time-lapse of clouds moving over city. That's absolutely perfect So I'm just going to download this clip Now it doesn't have any sound as I mentioned, so I'm just going to download a bit of royalty-free music to Done so I've got those two things and finally I'm just going to Create a little overlay here using gimp Just so I'm adding a few elements into the rendering job I'm just going to create a layer here and just have it like this kind of like a bit of a lower third Situation and I'm going to just say this is a test render project Just put that in white. So it's going to be visible over the lower third And I'm just going to go now and save those Three files into a folder on my desktop, and I'm just going to add these into Caden life. Okay, so I've just gone into Caden life here and I brought in my stock footage from pexels as you can see there's no audio tracks. I'm just going to actually Ungroup them and get rid of that non-existent audio and I've got this audio that I grabbed from some other website So in total this is going to be about a 10 second track So I'm just going to bring this guy all the way back here, and I just got that lower third as well so I'm just going to also add a Little in phase I'm going to add a little bit of out phase and now just going to see that So that's it, you know to speed it up even more. I'm just going to take out a little bit here I'm just going to actually group these guys all together And I'm going to whoops I'm going to cuss here to here Probably smarter way to do that. So let me just see the project. I'm about to export Okay, so it's a 10-second clip now I'm just going to add that fade back to the end and I'm just going to save this project so I can make sure that I can Quickly edit it and then run this through various Render profiles. Okay, so I'm just going to head and point to this to the directory I want this to render in the first one I'm going to try is just a standard mp4 using the h264 and AAC Codex and I'm going to just click on to more options here I'm just going to put the encoder speed up to the maximum it'll go and use all four threads on my CPU and That looks like it's pretty much good to go So here we go render to file and I'm just going to time this and then see how large you can see it's going to be Pretty quick. So it's a 10-second clip and the rendering time looks like it's going to be in the region are probably about 15 seconds So I'm just going to see how long this takes to run and then measure the resulting output Okay So that's just finished rendering as you can see it took 25 seconds to run and the resulting and the resulting file came out to be 6.8 Megabits in size. So that was just using the default mp4 Profile with the encoding speed set up to maximum. Okay, so now I'm going to go for one of the I'm going to try out the two GPU testing render profiles firstly h264 Constant bit rate or CBR rendering then I'm going to do the variable bit rate rendering Then I'm going to do the h265 Rendering so something like a little bit over 20 seconds on the first job to compare apples with apples I'm going to well, okay the encoding speed is set as far as it can go and I'm going to just call this actually test render underscore H264 underscore CBR and now rendering Okay, so we're already off to a Quick restart 25 seconds on the first render this looks like it's going to beat it by at least a few seconds The next question is going to be how big the file is going to be you can see it inflating over here. It's already at 15.5 23 now and two seconds left on the render so That render profile ran in 23 seconds, so it actually only saved two seconds in the end, but you can see the file is a lot bigger It's 30 almost 36 megabytes versus almost seven megabytes using the mp4 CPU rendering profile Okay, so let's try the variable bit rate this time. So h264 VBR I'm just going to call this H264 underscore VBR same thing threads are on for encoder speed maximum for the project rendering And you can see in the left window that the file is building five megabytes past. Well almost past 25 seconds, so that was actually the same as the first render It was actually listed as a custom profile, but it's basically the same as the default one that one the variable bit rate came in at 23 megabytes versus 36 using the constant bit rate profile. So I'm just going to have a quick look at these clips That's the first clip looks fine to me. Let's let's take a look at this one and finally this All right, so that's it so far. Let me just try this time h265 now I don't have access to either of these these H265 and I don't need this because there's only one profile and let us render So this looks like it's going to be the quickest is my prediction zapping along here five megabytes past And you can see all the times I've had so far on the tests Okay, that finished rendering in 22 seconds. So so far the h265 is our winner in terms of file size 22.3 megabytes, so that's actually pretty decent, but obviously it's Almost four times the size of the first one So when you're getting into much bigger projects, you're talking about a large disk space overhead of about 400 percent Which is actually very very significant to state the obvious and in terms of time saving. I wasn't really that significant here Okay, let's just try the MPG to This time and I'm going to put the encoding speed again up to up to the maximum and this is going to render me out a mpg.mpg Format file and it's typically going to be a bit larger than the mp4. So you can see it's inflating here Towards the bottom somewhere trotting along I think this is probably going to be about 25 seconds and it's actually fairly So 6.8 was on the first CPU rendering profile the mp4 and this one's going to be let's just see in a second Finish running in 39 seconds. So that's actually been the longest rendered so far and that came out to be five megabytes All right, final one. I'm going to go for a Um, and I don't think I can use so this is intel h24 I'm pretty sure I'm not able to use the vaapi But let me just check just in case Yeah, it's giving me an error log there. So I guess it just doesn't work on this on this particular Hardware that I have on this gpu Let me try finally the h264 lossless rendering profile So this is presumably going to be a very give a very big file. There's no compression here And let's see how big or small that file is and how quickly it runs So this is actually overriding the vaapi files. This is the bottom file. You can see in my window That's currently inflating relatively slow, but it's going to be the biggest of these files for obvious reasons I'm just going to pause the video while this continues to render Okay, we're getting towards the end of the rendering job here last three seconds ready s 82 megs 92.5 probably just going to be barely under 100 Uh ye 104.3 So that's basically the differences you can see are quite significant in terms of how long Each render job takes i'm just going to show you that screen. So 57 seconds for lossless 39 seconds for variable bitrate h264 constant bitrate was a 23 second render and that gave us a 35.9 megabyte file and just the default mp4 profile resulted in a 6.8 megabyte file that rendered out in 25 seconds. That's my day for today. Hope this you got hope this video was useful and subscribe for more videos on this youtube channel
