Re: [Avid-L2] Does AME Process a QT Ref with multiple encodes in sync?

That's good to know. In the words of Dave Bargin what is the "Spirit" of this preference? I have only used the basics in AME is there a compelling reason to choose simultaneous over sequential rendering? I could see wanting a particular file to be done first if time is of the essence. In what I'm calling sequential mode does AME process in the order the various encode presets appear in the window from top to bottom? Could simultaneous mode be more overall time efficient? I'm going to check the help menu but any further enlightenment would be appreciated.

Processing multiple files simuktaneously is a user preference in AME that can be switched off.

In adding pulldown with Adobe Media Encoder 2014 I'm using an RGB level QT Ref out of Avid with 16 channels of audio. I am baking out to 59.94i from the 23.976 QT Ref of DNX 175X material. I have built a preset with 16 channels of audio going to XDCam 50 422 in a .mov. I also made an H_264 preset with just 2 channels of audio. I'm hoping that will just take the first two audio channels of the 16 in the QT ref and not do a mult of all the tracks. I will be curious to see how that actually works. I added the two presets to the QT Ref file and I noticed when I started encoding I see two windows in the output window which are the two preset outputs. I notice they seem to be running in sync. Is that typical of how AME handles multiple outputs? I had expected it to process one file and then the other but it seems to be working in tandem in sync. I would think the encoding time going to XDCam 50 would be different than going to H_264 but the two windows are in perfect sync. It seems like it's overall encode time will be less than if I did the two files consecutively but I"m not totally sure of that. Last night when I did just an XD Cam 50 of the same show it took about 48 minutes and now it's taking about 75 minutes so that seems a bit more efficent assuming the H_264 encode would take about the same time as the XDCam 50.
