Rendering Large and Complicated Playlists

[DeadMusik]

Hey guys, Drel here I have been having some troubles finding a good way to export from magic a suitable working way and get a usable file.

What im trying to accomplish is having 12 minute loops of my material I make in magic and drop into resolume for easy FAST playback.

my playlist consists of 12 scenes and I have them playing one minute a piece for a total of a 12 minute video.
when its not complex my computer knocks this out.
now I have a 7.00 gig file a .mov file nothing can open vlc or anyting says its corrupted.

when I export from magic to img sequence it takes so long 7-12 hr for this 43000 (pics), then to render to .mov
running a good comp i7-8700k , 2080 gpu.

Am I going about this wrong, how would you export out of magic ( I do like the img sequence you can pull 4k backgrounds out quick)

Once again!

So in some of my scenes Ive been drinking and saving them, when I import some scenes it says there are duplicates or something, Is that why my computer doesn't render them out fully or they corrupt, my playlist is built cleanly in magic, by deleting the scenes not used. and when I do a playlist when it just askes if to merge duplicates, my computer will export it out and not fall asleep. I thought maybe it was my error saving the scenes wrong..

Thankyou for reading and let me know if my grammar is shit, ive heard so....

Unless you want transparency I'd recommend rendering to MP4 (or another video format) from Magic then using Ally to convert to DXV for Resolume.

Hi @DeadMusik,

I know this post is old, but I just bumped into it looking for something else. Did you managed to sort it?

For a while I had similar issues, as I wanted to record my outputs for later streaming or just uploading/archiving. Since the render times were longer than I liked I did a bit of research and after trying OBS and external USB recorders, I went for an Atomos Ninja V.

The initial cost isn't exactly cheap, and it is not as fast as I would like it, mainly because with my setup I need to re-encode again the Atomos output, but in one afternoon I can have a perfect live recording, with all the quality I need, no glitches and the capability edit on professional quality if needed. So in the end, the result is priceless.

Just in case anyone wonders, OBS plus USB recorders implied a second computer and the recording always would have a scan line, similar to the old VHS tapes. Very annoying.

The Atomos Ninja V records also on real time, but it can integrate within your studio setup by using hdmi video splitters.
