I have a 100 min indie film. AE CS6 has an excellent Film Grain filter, but it take 6 days to render. Thats how slow it is. And adding subtitles is also clunky.
ffmpeg has a noise filter and takes subtitles - takes 11 hours in total.
Using a simple film plate, AE CS6 can do grain and subtitles in a day.
Hitfilm does not do subtitles but does an excellent 35mm film grain in 7 hours.
Is there any option that will do a render from Prores or Cineform to X264 or x265 with added film grain and subtitles in realtime ?
WOW - 2.2 hours in DR 14 for both grain and subtitles. Thanks a lot @maxr I will be installing another CUDA card, and I will try use only Resolve and Hitfilm in the future. For compositing and grading these are the best options today. At least twice as fast as PPro and AE
I have chromakey composites. and some grain is necessary for it to look real.
If you plan to release film online - I always suggest to use opposite process, good noise reduction, and never use any grain stuff.
Got my answer from the tutorial.. Thanks! I will try it out and update this post.
The grain file - it will not last for 100 min. How does the track matte work ? Is it a layer on top of the video file ? So I need to loop it or duplicate it multiple times to cover the entire track ?
Why not to make a prores with the grain and subs and then a x264/5 version?
