UL Procyon benchmarks use real applications and relevant use cases whenever possible.
The UL Procyon Video Editing Benchmark uses Adobe Premiere Pro in a typical video editing workflow.
The benchmark is modelled on the workflow of a professional video blogger who wants to edit footage from a GoPro and other similar devices into an exciting and action-packed video to publish on YouTube.
Workload
The Video Editing Export test is modeled on a user exporting a video in Premiere Pro. The test models a non-interactive user.
The benchmark consists of two input projects; one that has more basic operations and one that has operations that can be accelerated on the GPU. Both projects are exported as H.264 - Youtube 1080p Full HD and HEVC (H.265) - 4K UHD.
The input projects are
- VideoEditing.prproj, denoted in measurements with the postfix “_1”
- VideoEditingSecond.prproj, denoted in measurements with the postfix “_2”
Open the project
Each project has all the imported footage, timeline setup, edits, adjustments, effects set up and applied to the sequence in Adobe Premiere Pro.
Export the project using a preset
The benchmark uses two modified presets in Adobe Premiere Pro. Four exports are measured in total.
H.264 - YouTube 1080p Full HD with the following modifications:
- Use Maximum Render Quality on
- Render at Maximum Depth on
- Target Bitrate [Mbps] 25
- Maximum Bitrate [Mbps] 25
HEVC (H.265) - 4K UHD with the following modifications:
- Use Maximum Render Quality on
- Render at Maximum Depth
- Target Bitrate [Mbps] 60
- Maximum Bitrate [Mbps] 60
