VIDEO EDITOR: CHAPTER FOUR

Determining your video save options

The properties that you specified in saving a video file determine your output

quality. MediaStudio Pro offers different settings that you can apply to

achieve a high-quality video. The set of available options depends on the

output file format that you want, since each file format may contain at-

tributes that are different or not present in another.

There are, however, options that are applicable in all file formats. The

following section will discuss these general options.

VIDEO SAVE OPTIONS: VIDEO EDITOR TAB

1. Entire project creates a video file of the entire project while Preview range

creates a video file of the preview area only. (This option is disabled if your video

project has no preview area.)

2. Perform non-square pixel rendering performs non-square pixel rendering

when previewing your video. Non-square pixel support helps avoid distortion and

keeps the real resolution of DV and MPEG2 content. Generally, the square pixel

is suited for the aspect ratio of computer monitors while the non-square pixel is

best used for viewing on a TV screen. Remember to take into account which

medium will be your primary mode of display.

3. Play after creating plays the resulting video file after its creation. This can

serve as a signal that the rendering has finished.

4. Perform SmartRender speeds up the creation process by reusing previously

saved video, re-rendering only the areas modified since you last created the

video. (You must use the same file name and destination.) Video Editor detects

these differences by monitoring the changes made to the video project and

matching those with the existing video file.
