Really there 22 hours for SOUL to transcode 1 hour of ProRes apcn for presetting of YouTube?

My question is, "it will always take this long?

If you have not already verified my information system to it, I'm at the end of a 6 years old HP 8400.  I (finally) got the OK to acquire a new system.  I know that this new system (http://www.pugetsystems.com/saveconfig.php?id=111597) will improve 'timeline' speed and preview of After Effects & rendering and must export most of the CODECs much faster, I'm concerned about the work of transcoding straight I do in the SOUL.  More precisely ProRes to something else.

The company for which I work steps and produces a lot of live corporate events.  I create content for the event, then the handle whatever the client wants done with recorded images later.  Sometimes, it's the complete boat and sometimes it's just for them to share internally and on its Web site.  Whatever it is, generally the first thing they want is to just see the images.  So, regardless of what would later become images, I have run through the SOUL and turn it into H.264 using YouTube friendly preset.

Currently, on my aging machine, SOUL uses only about 30% of my 8 cores.  Only 7-8 GB of my 20GB of ram and, of course, 0% of my GTX285.  So, should I assume that lack of CODEC, SOUL will take much longer to transcode on a machine with twice the kernels (including higher clock speeds) and 3 times the ram?  Will be just use even less of the system and even to last 22 hours?  I see at least a reduction in time in the transition from DDR - 2 DDR-3 and other benefits of latency lower current material?

I was going to include the "MediaInfo" for the source and the final files as well as the newspaper of the SOUL and some other info, but since I have this done already a wall of text, stay until what someone needs to answer my question.

Thanks in advance.

BTW - I've been using Adobe products since the middle of the 1990s (4.0 first, After Effects "Melmet") and I've been lurking here and scraping info from all of you there are at least 2 Forums this is my first post in the forum "new".

Hi Jason,

How can I put things in perspective for you? Looks like you don't know what to expect, which is understandable when you use really old hardware. And what first version are you running?

Computer technology comes from leaps and bounds in recent years, nothing short of amazing! From CS5, first now uses the GPU (graphics card) to provide acceleration of mounting hardware and effects, using the Mercury playback engine. The maximum permissible error can operate on CPU only, but it makes a world of difference when using GPU hardware as well. Of course the software and the OS are 64-bit now, which really helps, especially with the large amount of RAM allowed.

Years, it was almost mandatory to get a machine with two processors for editing. Core i7 quad-core machines today essentially have 4 processors on a single chip, it's like having more than one processor. "Multithreading" there, so 4 hearts resemble 8 cores for the software.

So, basically, any recent Core i7 machine will do a great job of editing and export of images HD of first CS6. Many effects, titles, superposition and scaling of the video all is possible without a red bar! I stacked 15 or 20 layers of 1080i AVCHD once, make several PIPs on the screen, and it played smoothly without a framework.

If you work mainly with the first and yet, then a machine 4-core or 6-core i7 will make most very happy publishers. If After Effects is a big part of your flow of work, and/or 3D animation, where a double-XEON machine can make a difference. Really well, first, you would see little difference. Time is in real time, a machine 11 k $ is not do it faster.

On a machine nice i7 costs $3-5 k, you should expect to export H.264 in real time or better. With a DV film, goes to the MPEG-2 DVD format, a timeline of two hours can be exported in unnder 10 minutes. Seriously. The audio .wav a timeline of two hours? Seconds for export.

Puget is a company respected using gear nice and if you feel the need to 'the best of the best' and have the budget to save it, this system of 11 k $ will certainly rock. We are also an Adobe Certified System Integrator and is happy to consult and provide the price of comparison as well.
