I’m just starting to discover Draft and was wondering about a few things
-
How many licenses are available for Draft if I have 11 DL licenses.
I noticed there were 5 nodes trying to encode a video, but in 5 hours time only 1 of those 5 made any progress (while it was similar content).
3 other enqueued jobs where errored due to lack of licenses. -
how quick should it be in general to encode via LAN?
At this moment I’m using an altered slate-mpeg-resize template (see attached)
To resize 9000frames of 4k footage on 50% and encode it at 60% quality with the mpeg codec. It’s now running for 7 hours and is at 19% .
When I run a similar process directly via FFmpeg on a slave where it’ll read the files via the LAN and write the output to LAN… the whole thing takes 25 minutes?!!
I can’t imagine that adding a slate before and putting on a frame counter should make this kind of difference??
I do have the feeling that draft doesn’t really use my cpu allot. It’s often at 0% usage and haven’t seen it go over 10% (think the average is around 3% or something).
It both ran on equal machines (win 7x64 pro | i7-4770K @ 4GHz | 16GB RAM | 110GB SDD ~25GB free space )
