Hello there fellow filmmakers,
I was wondering about data transaction speed.
Working on a HDD internal and USB 3.0.
Yesterday I had a film shooting using 4.6K lossless, which created DNG files.
Since I normally do not use this high information codec, I was wondering why the transferring speed is pretty low at 10-20 Mb/s?
Whenever I shoot, I know it takes time, but half an hour or something for each of my 256MB Cfcards...
This one takes about 4-5 hours for 256MB. I know HDDs are way slower than SSD, but that slow? It sometimes drops to 5-10MB...
Right now I am using a SanDisk CFast-Reader, USB 3.0, and the internal HDD...
Any Ideas? I am open and thankful for any tips, suggestions, to maybe reduce the amount of time for this part of the postproduction workflow, how do you guys transfer a high amount of data?
I will turn them into proxy footage I guess since I never used this lossless codec and I am not sure how the editing will be, since I cannot see any video files, but the DNG-files, which I hope Resolve 17 will put together...
Thank you in advance, I am new to the Blackmagic world and glad to be here, have a nice day,
Roman from Cologne/Germany
