Rendering a Movie
Field-rendering considerations
If vertical scaling, translation, rotation, or effects are applied to the image, the two fields
of a video frame should be separated so that rendering can occur separately. If the field
settings in the Interpret Footage dialog box are correct for the input footage and the field
settings in the Render Settings dialog box are correct for the output device, you can mix
footage items of different field orders in a composition. If either of these settings is
incorrect, however, the frames will be in the correct order, but the field order may be
reversed, resulting in jerky, unacceptable images. The Upper Field First option corre-
sponds to Even Field First in an ElectricImage file. For more information, see “Testing the
field-rendering order” on page 387.
Creating and using render settings templates
You can create templates that save commonly used render settings. These templates appear
in the Render Settings pop-up menu in the Render Queue window. You can specify a
default render settings template for movie rendering as well as another for creating a single
frame. You can also save all render settings templates to a file to use on another computer.
To set the default render settings templates:
1 Choose Edit > Templates > Render Settings.
2 To select a default template to be used when rendering movies, select a template from
the Movie Default pop-up menu. To select a default template to be used when rendering
a single frame, select a template from the Frame Default pop-up menu.
To create a new render settings template:
1 Choose Edit > Templates > Render Settings.
2 Click New.
3 Specify the render settings you want and click OK.
4 Type a name for the new template and click OK.
To edit an existing render settings template:
1 Choose Edit > Templates > Render Settings.
2 Select a template from the Settings Name pop-up menu.
