Here are the numbers:
I used a 11 second and 12 frame (344 frames) DV stock footage clip that was shot interlaced. I applied Magic Bullet, Deartifacter for DV, Broadcast Spec (Composite), LetterBox 1:1.85 and Miami LookSuite. I also made a levels adjustment.
Project set at 16bpc.
Render speed on AE 5.51 PB on 2.0 GHz P4M Toshiba Notebook, 512MB RAM, 4200 RPM Hard disk running XP SP1 with all background processes (anti-virus etc) left on.
(1) Magic Bullet 1.1 50 minutes and 15 seconds or 8.8 seconds per frame
(2) Magic Bullet 1.5 30 minutes and 19 seconds or 5.3 seconds per frame
Just for kicks, running AE 6.0 Pro on my main machine, a custom-built P4 3.0GHz C (HT on) with 800FSB and 2 GB 400Mhz DRR ECC memory, 10,000 RPM RAID 0 SATA drives running XP SP1 with all background processes (anti-virus etc) left on. Secret cache is set to purge every 24 frames which slows down processing.
(1) Magic Bullet 1.5 9 minutes and 13 seconds 1.6 seconds per frame
My guess is a basic Magic Bullet process at 8pbc would run .5 or seconds per frame or faster with a higher secret cache.
I'm very pleased.
