![]() If you need really advanced settings or a thumbnail JPEG, for example, and you don’t need to encode dozens of clips in one go, then Squeeze 10 is your best bet. Its data rate was 721 Mbps.īut guess what was even faster than all of the apps above? Recording the media with an Atomos Ninja Blade or Ninja Assassin to ProRes or DNxHD! That was finished in zero seconds. It finished the job in 11 minutes with a data rate of 706 Mbps.Īpple’s own Compressor 4.2.2 didn’t fair better, finishing the job in 11 minutes. I set Telestream’s Episode 7 Pro at Priority 4 and let it encode, using my one processor with four cores. The output quality was identical to Squeeze 10’s. Squeeze Desktop 11 Pro, however, did it even faster at 8 minutes sharp. Its output had a slightly higher data rate of 726 Mbps. Sorenson Media’s Squeeze Desktop 10 Pro took 9 minutes and 39 seconds. All encoding settings across applications were set to be identical.ĮditReady finished encoding the test clips in 6 minutes at a data rate of 721 Mbps. ![]() I didn’t try the other codecs, but I imagine it’s very fast regardless of the codec you’re using.Īnd now, without further ado, the results. While a clip that’s been encoded with EditReady has the same picture quality as a clip encoded with Squeeze, Compressor or Episode - at least, I couldn’t tell the difference - it does differ dramatically in the area of encoding speed to ProRes. I suppose I don’t need to explain the benefits of having a fully customisable RGB parade, vectorscope, waveform, YCbCr parade, histogram, channel plot, HML balance, audio meter, surround meter and a BIG timecode window at your disposal before you start encoding. in realtime, as if you were in your NLE. With ScopeBox you can view a clip’s colour balance, audio performance, etc. In addition, EditReady has another trump card up its sleeve if the above doesn’t convince you: it integrates seamlessly with ScopeBox 3.5.1, which I am about to review. In short, EditReady has become a powerhouse in its own right and it touts using the original Apple ProRes codec in contrast to some of its competitors. ![]() It also offers advanced options for H.264 encoding. And there are options: applying a LUT, resizing the frame, adjusting the frame rate and removing unused audio tracks. to change audio encoding.ĮditReady 1.4 can join clips and separate clips if it finds them joined as well. It also rewraps with no transcoding being done and you can create your own custom encoder, e.g. It now encodes to DNxHD (Low/Medium/High and 444), ProRes 422 (Lt, Proxy, HQ and common), ProRes 444. The latest version also comes with strong features. First of all: it still is the best looking transcoding app besides Compressor 4.2.2. The encoding machine still is the iMac i5/3.2GHz from mid-2011 with 16GB RAM.īefore I give you the results, let me tell you a bit of my renewed experiences with EditReady. ![]() Clip length for the first was 01:58 and 00:44 for the second. ![]() Frame resolution was set at UHD in both cases. I decided to try them all with a GoPro HERO4 UHD clip and the results sort of surprised me. I have them on my machine and they’re industrial workhorses so why would I choose something else? Speed could be a significant factor and quality of output of course. Since then I’ve only used Squeeze and Episode. It’s been a while since EditReady was first released. EditReady, Compressor 4.2.2, Episode 7 Pro or Squeeze Desktop 10 Pro? Or something completely different? ![]()
