Re: Reporting Back-EX1 render times

Hi Aleksey,
[Aleksey Severyukhin] "a) how would you correct the timing/details of the effects and transitions without rendering ? "
I don't say don't render but render with setting that lets you work faster. If the rendering in 8b is good enough to know how the effect will result, why to waist time doing it in 10b?

[Aleksey Severyukhin] "b) I work in final cut pro 6, and I know it is multi-sequence mechanism, but what if i have footage on different formats, and progressive and interlaced, how that would affect the settings? "
FC have two bugs related with managing field order:
- When you play a clip backward, FC keeps playing the first field of each frame first. It should be the second field the one played first.
- The Shift-fields filter can not live together with a speed change with blending frames.
Out of this two bugs FC manage quite well working with different kind of field-order footage.
But the digital files are really flexible and you can change the field order almost whenever you want.
here in PAL-land we are dealing with this since years. People in NTSC-land mostly have had everything "Lower-first". Now with HD people found then self in the need to work with Upper, Lower and Progressive.
Don't be afraid and make your own custom settings. If you go to end in DigiBeta, you know that you need to go to 10b NTSC 720x486 Lower-first.
But if you go to make a DVD you can make your sequence 10b NTSC 720x480 Upper-first.
Just don't forget the new order, and when you bring this file two other application (AE, Compressor,..) make sure that the fie get recognized properly as Upper. NTSC MPG-2 Upper-first works without problem.
So basically depending of your delivery format you can set the things easier for yourself.
Get your self a good de-interlacer (Nattress I suggest), make some experiments and post if you get stuck.
cheers,
rafael
