2024.1 - Metal on MacOS Speed Tests

My work is TVC timelines with soft effects: Image for color, Action for repo’s and split-screens, PSD and PNG files comped for graphics.

My simple testing was to flush renders on the whole timeline, select all and hit render. We used the Python hook to get render time in seconds. I did the same timelines in 2024 and 2024.1 and saw significant improvements.

2024 2024.1 time saved
timeline 1 87 45 48%
timeline 2 98 50 49%
timeline 3 67 38 43%
timeline 4 122 78 36%
timeline 5 43 28 35%
timeline 6 170 115 32%
