Preparing your movie for output
Before your movie is actually ready for output some
preprocessing will generally be required:
• If your movie includes clips that were captured in
preview quality, Studio will prompt you to load your
source tape(s) into your DV camcorder or VCR.
Studio will then recapture the clips at full resolution.
• Studio will need to render (generate video frames for)
any transitions, titles, disc menus and video effects
you’ve added to your movie, unless they have
already been rendered in the background (see “Edit
settings”, page 256). If all or part of the movie was
captured in MPEG format, that footage must be
rendered in its entirety.
The Make AVI status panel before,
during and after rendering.
When Studio has completed its batch capture and
rendering, the Make Movie Status panel will indicate
that your movie is ready for output.
