[Avid-L2] Re: Render Test Here's a new take that seems like BS?

 

Disk drive throughput could be affected by the larger bandwidth. That could slow things down performance wise.

The theory proposed was that one to one SD renders make the Avid timeline response slow relative to 10:1 renders. Given these are heavily nested and layered sequences I feel it is there complexity that is bogging down the response of Avid when navigating the timeline etc.... For example the spinning ball before the image updates to a new position is more lengthy in heavily nested areas as opposed to other parts of the timeline. I really don't see how the resolution of the render would effect this kind of performance after all once rendered the Avid is using pointers and I feel it's the excess of pointer and tracking of all the layers that slows things down for the operator.
