It does perform quite well in Hitfilm in most other aspects. Lets just say this is the "official" thread on the topic.įast decode AVC (Norman AVC) will not perform as well as things like Cineform, DNxHD/HR or Prores in quickly scrubbing the timeline back and forth. Those settings are duplicated and scattered about this forum. I created some settings using the x264 AVC/H.264 encoder that creates files that have much better decode performance in your editor. AVC can be encoded to a lower overhead configuration. Most cameras like DSLRs, digicams, action cameras, phones and web cams encode to a higher overhead AVC.

AVC is commonly found in MP4 and MOV file containers. Either way, it always works well.Īs typically encoded, AVC has a high decode overhead.

EDIT: Now that Hitfilm has hardware decode for typical AVC (8-bit 4:2:0) the exact AVC settings for fast decode performance are not as important.
