Analyzing All SmoothCam Clips in a Sequence

Sequence clips with the SmoothCam filter applied must be analyzed before you can see
the results of the filter. There are several ways to analyze sequence clips:

Render a selected clip or the entire sequence: All analyzed clips are rendered, and any

unanalyzed clips are automatically submitted to the processing queue. Any clips whose
motion analysis was not complete when you started rendering are not rendered, so
you may need to render the sequence again when the remaining clips are analyzed.
