Sony 7sIII XAVC S 4K 4:2:2 10 bit

[Fernando Alves]

Hello,

I have a bunch of XAVC S 4K 4:2:2 10 bit. Some in 24 fps, some 60 fps and some 120 fps. I want to transcode this material to Apple Pro Res 422. Well, I made a queue list with all my material and start my job. After 3 files my computer freezes. I was using Media Encoder version 14.5. Maybe the new version (15.2) works better with those files? No it does not. Tried another queue list and the computer freezes after the second clip.

Then I made a test. Transcoded a couple o MXF from Canon C300 Mark III and a couple of R3D from Red. Works fine. The problem is make a queue with XAVC S 4k. Does anybody know why my queue list with XAC S 4k are not working?

What am I doing? Transcoding one clip per time. Some large files (more than 3gb) Media Encoder freezes. For these large files I am doing it in Prelude.

Am I missing something? What should I do? Is there a “right” worflow for queue my files in Media Encoder? Maybe is my computer. Built it last year and it not so bad.

My computer configuration:

CPU: Ryzen 7 2700x
GPU: Gigabyte AMD Radeon RX VEGA56 Gaming OC 8G
Motherboard: Gigabyte X470 Aorus Ultra Gaming Amd Am4 Ryzen
Memory: 32gb 3000 Ddr4 Pc 2×16 Vengeance Lpx Corsair

Thanks a lot

I've come across problematic files that had bad data that wouldn't properly transcode with one program but would with another. Sometimes I needed to use an earlier OS because a more recent OS supplanted some codec versions that worked and the updated codec didn't.

Dropbox or something one of the problematic files and I'll run it to see if it's the file itself or some configuration / compatibility issue on your end.
