As the subject, who knows a transcoding tool that can convert magicYUV to Newtek SpeedHQ?

I would like to shrink a lot of old footage down to SpeedHQ 4:2:2, but putting it all trough premiere is not really a fast workflow.
So I tried a few of transcoding tools I have installed, but none of them can export to SpeedHQ.
I did look at FFMPEG, but it seems the support they added is only for decoding?

Did you try Adobe Media Encoder?

FFMPEG appears to have support for the codec. I would start there until Handrake incorporates it into its codec support library. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FFmpeg

Andrew, FFMPEG can only decode this codec, not encode

There is a SpeedHQ encoder for QuickTime, so if there is also MagicYUV decoder for QuickTime - then QuickTime Player Pro on Mac would work. Apple compressor might be a good option for automated workflows.

Adobe Media Encoder should be able to do this. You can setup a watch folder and have it batch process files.

Thanks Steve and Kane, I totally overlooked that as I normally only use it to batch render projects. I did never use it to transcode before because I used other tools for that.
It works perfectly and is the best tool for the job because it does batches, so set in the morning with a big workload and forget for the rest of the day.
I found out with this workload it is around 10% faster without cuda enabled.

Now I'm going to get a pile of disks I can re-use. The ratio for DNxHD to SpeedHQ 422 is doing around 4:1, MagicYUV to SpeedHQ even 5.5:1
