Frameserving from Edius Timeline ?

[Emulgator]

Now that ProcoderExpressExport has been taken off Edius 5,
is there any solution to frameserve from Edius Timeline ?

Does anybody know if somebody has written a Edius frameserving export plugin ? Free or $ ?
Searching for "frameserv" in this forum gave no answer.

Anton has done all the work for us look here

Just a note I seem to be getting better results using Canopus lossless files!

That's not frameserving though?

It's done outside of EDIUS.

[Bluetongue]

No, but it is what I think he is asking as he refers to PCExpress as that as the only frame serving that I knew about using Virtualdub - VFAPI - PCoder or PC Express
Was there another? Perhaps I missed the point?

Hi
I use to framserve with Premier Pro, it went something like this.
Straight from timeline to an encoder like TMPGEnc via a carrier plugin program.

Here is one here that I use to use.
Someone might be able to make it work with EDIUS.

Thank you both.

With Frameserving I meant frameserving from within Edius, not while using VirtualDub on an intermediate format already rendered by Edius.

I know and use Satish Kumar's Frameserver 2.3 for my work from EditStudio6, there it works brilliantly and helps save me time and space.

I was hoping for the same way of working with Edius.
Will try to find a plugin SDK from Canopus for Satish to work upon.

Just got the answer from Thomson Systems Group Germany GmbH:

Such function (frameserving) as in VDub or Avisynth
is not planned for Edius at the moment.

I feel very sorry about that.

Frameserving doesn't save time in all cases. While you save on disk read/write, you lose on CPU context-switching due to "fighting" over the CPU - especially if your EDIUS timeline has a lot of effects.

The other thing is, if you have a rendered file out from EDIUS, you have a "done" version and you can use that version for re-encoding if you have to (say you need to adjust bitrate). If you're frame-serving, EDIUS still needs to render the timeline for each encode, resulting in duplicated work.

Frameserving would be very cool because the abscence of VfW- & other exporters will be avoided.
You would be able to export your timeline (or a part of it) to any VfW-codec, Flash & any other tool providing AVI import support!

Frameserving is the chance to extended the export possibilities!
