Still no efficiency improvements on Stabilization?

PostSun Dec 31, 2017 8:13 am

One of the biggest features I was excited for in Davinci 14 was the stabilizer, but it is SO painful to use. It locks out the app during the analyzing stage, but when I ccheck my resources it's using 33% CPU and < 5% internal/dedicated GPU. Noticed this in the first release of v14, but it's still the case... making me wonder why it wouldn't be using more resources or if I am doing something wrong

Have a Dell XPS 15 with an i7-7700HQ and Intel GTX 1050. 32gb ram

Nothing I can do to make this use more of the available resources?

Are you using the new or the classic stabilizer?

I think the new one is much more effective but gives you less manual control.

It's single threaded. It may be using 33% of your overall multi-core CPU, but as it's a single threaded task, the bottleneck is your single core performance.

So there's not much you can do to make it faster except to buy a CPU with better single core performance. The good news is that there's probably plenty of optimization opportunity here for BMD in the future.

That explains the tortuous performance. Thanks, Jason.
