Hi all!
Working with footage shot on the BMPCC 6K through an external SSD. Editing and playback is going fine so far. Sure, occasionally there will be some momentary lag, but I know I have a relatively older PC and it's mostly been working for me. Like any long-term relationship, it's a game of push and pull.
But when I go to the export page, that's where the real fun begins. My export settings are as follows:
Format: MP4
Codec: H265 (it doesn't let me do H264)
Encoder: Auto
Resolution: 6144 x 3456
Frame Rate: 24
Quality: Restrict to 20000 Kb/s
Encoding profile: Main
Key Frame: Automatic ("frame reordering" checked)
Rate Control: Variable Bitrate
Preset: Medium
Tuning: High Quality
Two Pass: Disable
Lookahead: 16 frames ("enable adaptive B-frame" checked)
AQ Strength: 8
The video I'm exporting is 9 minutes and 35 seconds long. I added to render queue and got 23% exported when my PC freaked out! The fans started to spin like crazy making a really loud noise, like a vacuum. Both of my monitors showed a black screen, and then "No signal." Interestingly enough, I could still hear the audio of a video I was watching in Chrome.
Anyway, this has happened to me the couple of times I've worked with the 6K footage and was wondering what I could do to prevent my PC from dying (recommended export settings, hardware upgrades, etc.). I have a feeling that my GPU might be too old, but it's honestly pure speculation. I'm not that much of a tech wiz.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!!!
