i capped an export to 100fps, mainly to avoid flooding my arrays, and really outputting a feature in 21 min is fine, i can live with that... i remember the days of planning around only being able to export one 20min reel per night

so i set it to 100fps max, and here it is running along at 127Fps.... if i set it to render at max it runs closer to 200fps, but exporting a 2k feature in 12 min is not worth the hassle if the disk arrays flood...

are the speed limits kinda like speed limits on an Italian autostrada? a rough guideline?

And yea all you folks with a trashcan limiting to 5Fps to avoid overheating, it's alright to be a bit sad.....

ill ask.

Dermot, would you get the "timeout waiting for frame" error?

It would also be great if the speed cap went above 100 FPS. 100, 150, 200, etc.

We're running multiple Supermicro 7048 w/ 3x 1080ti to push footage out as fast as possible but we constantly get the "timeout waiting for frame" error. Uncapped, it's around 280-350 fps but the timeouts absolutely kill us. Running an all flash storage Isilon system with client 10G connection to switch with oodles of bandwidth on server side (multiple 40GB links).

excatly, throtteling back to 100fps seems to get a trouble free export, i'm assumeing it's flooding the disks, in task mangler i see both the source and target disk at near 100% (dual SAS for me) and the CPU/GPU bounceing between 10 and 70% typicaly

sometimes it slows down when it hits a bunch of OFX

really a solid export that takes 22 min beats a export that pukes even if it would be twice as fast, stable beats speed in my world
