Re: can someone tell me me my online capture settings for my varicam footage? Gary Adcock?

"But if I do not render, then there is no render file to refer to. Real time effects are effects that create no renders...dissolves, audio dissolves, 3-way color correction. I don't render, so no render file is created. If I start with a new project and add real time effects, and look in the RENDER folder...it is empty.

If it renders them, where is it putting them?

Not trying to sound snide or incredulous...just curious as to why you say that it renders when I don't see the render file."


That's a great question. I think they go into the RAM. But if you were to export your timeline (and hence be writing files to disk) I think you'd find it takes a lot longer to write than if you didn't have the 3 way correcter and the grreen render bar.

Realtime means realtime RENDER, not no render. The data and calculations have to made. It just makes them fast on the fly because the filters are simple and it can do so, so the writing of a separate file to play isn't necessary. BUt it's still rendering and recompresing.
