The Auto Contrast plugin from NewBlue seems to be pretty comparable on what it does to the one from Ignite. But the render speed on my system is day and night different: 38 seconds for NewBlue and 99 seconds for Ignite (on the same 4K clip 25P from RX10iii of 68 seconds). Render template: Magix HEVC, Internet HD 1080p 25 fps (NVIDEA NVENC).
Rendering in 4K is also done in half the time for NewBlue vs Ignite. Anyone else experiences this?
