Performing multiple parallel exports in Media Encoder may cause the system to become unresponsive, although the operation should eventually complete. HAP prioritises decode-speed, efficient upload to GPUs and GPU-side decoding to enable the highest amount of video content to be played back at once on modern hardware. As a general guide, for HD footage or smaller you can set the chunk size to 1 and for 4k or larger footage the number of chunks should never exceed the number of CPU cores on the computer used for playback.Īt present, 'auto' corresponds to choosing 1 chunk per texture this may change in the future. This setting should typically only be used if you are reaching a CPU performance bottleneck during playback.

Improved image quality and an Alpha channel, at the expense of larger file sizesįor Hap and Hap Alpha codecs render time can be reduced with Quality-Fast option.
