![]() So far, though, there’s no big performance improvement in Compressor’s compression speed when updating to Catalina and running Metal 2. This is just a first look, I want to re-run my tests to make sure I’m getting consistent results. As well, future tests will show what performance impact Catalina has, if any, on Adobe Media Encoder compression speeds. No change in compressed file sizes for H.264, slightly smaller files with the latest version of Compressor running on Catalina. Here are the numeric results for file size. That bug was fixed in Catalina with the 4.4.6 update to Compressor. What’s the difference between macOS Catalina and macOS Mojave Compare macOS Catalina vs. As the Mojave version of Compressor failed to compress ProRes 4444 files into HEVC 10-bit, I excluded those results from this table. Most coverage of macOS Catalina focuses on the improvements since Mojave, its immediate predecessor. NOTE: These speeds only represent files that were able to be compressed. Also, based on the results published in my earlier article, Adobe Media Encoder remains significantly faster than Compressor, especially given these new numbers. Catalina is represented by green bars, shorter bars are faster. H.264 compressed file sizes are the same, while HEVC compressed file sizes are slightly smaller in Catalina. - YouTube A short video comparing the new MacOS Catalina with the previous MacOS: Mojave. The short answer is that the latest version of Apple Compressor running on Catalina is slightly slower across all tests than Compressor running on Mojave. The Catalina tests used Compressor 4.4.6. I ran these theses on the same computer (an i5) using the same data files and same compression settings using Apple Compressor. While Compressor still takes about twice as long as Adobe Media Encoder to compress the same file into 10-bit HEVC, at least, now, Compressor is able to complete the job. ![]() This is just a first look, as I haven’t had time to check the speed of Adobe Media Encoder with Catalina.įirst, though, I want to report that a bug in Compressor that prevented it from compressing ProRes 4444 files into 10-bit HEVC has been fixed in Catalina. ![]() ![]() So, this week, I decided to revisit my Compressor speed test from October, 2019, to see what changed. Both Final Cut Pro X and Compressor were recently upgraded to support it. One of the new features in macOS Catalina is a revised graphics engine called Metal 2. This new article has updated numbers for Apple Compressor and now includes Adobe Media Encoder. BIG NOTE: This article has been updated and replaced by – Video Compression Speed Test. There are lots of smaller improvements in Big Sur. ![]()
