Title: Waiting for a Render All - could it go "DING" when finished?
Post by: JonB256 on December 17, 2021, 02:21:35 PM

A few sequences take awhile to finish. I may nod off while waiting but a nice DING when it finishes rendering that FSEQ file would be nice.

If you script it you could have it play hallelujah

In my case, Hallelujah would be appropriate.
I had Dan compare my render time for the latest XLAW sequence (Gwen Stefani) from my Windows PC (Win 10, 64gb RAM, SSD, 4ghz Ryzen processor) with his  M1Max MacBook Pro.

My Render time - 253 seconds
His Render time - 27 seconds

FSEQ file is 623,377kb (v2/zstd)

Good thing you don't have to render it more than a couple of times.  But then what is the cost of the M1 Max MacBook for gaining 3 or 4 minutes?  I remember the days with dial up internet and how we complained about those hookup times and download times versus what we get today with cable modems and fiberoptic connections in some cases.  We are spoiled, but we want more.  Damn, me too.  Heck remember what uploading to FPP took before V2 sparse.
