Rendering a Single Effect
To render a single effect:
1. Move the position indicator to the effect in the Timeline.
Make sure the track containing the effect is selected.
2. Do one of the following:
t In the Tool palette, Effect Editor, or Timeline top toolbar, click the Render Effect
button.
t Select Clip > Render at Position.
The Render Effect dialog box opens.
n
To prevent the Render Effects dialog box from opening, press and hold the Alt key (Windows)
or Option key (Macintosh) when you click the Render Effect button. Your Avid editing
application uses the last drive selected and you do not need to follow the remaining steps in
this procedure.
3. Click the Drive button, and select a drive for the rendered media.
The Effect Source Drive selection refers to the drive where the media on the outgoing
shot of a transition resides.
4. Click OK.
For information on displaying the estimated time required for the render, see
“Displaying Estimated Render Time” on page 459.
If there is not enough room on the drive, your Avid editing application displays a
message box that gives you the following choices:
- Stop: Stop the rendering process and return to the Render Effect dialog box, and
then select another drive before continuing.
- Continue: Attempt to render the effect anyway, in case there might be enough room
on the drive.
The effect is rendered, and a precompute master clip is stored on the drive you selected.
