886 Part X Real Time and Rendering
Render All Submenu
The commands in the Render All submenu render all the clips corresponding to the
selected Timeline playback states in a sequence, regardless of whether or not you’ve
selected a region of the Timeline.
 Both: Renders both the video and audio of the sequence. Several menu items
representing each video and audio Timeline playback state appear underneath.
Selecting and deselecting specific render states allow you to control which clips are
rendered (selected menu items appear checked). For example, you can set up the
Render All command to render all the effects in your sequence that won’t output to
video at broadcast quality, to make sure that your sequence outputs at the highest
quality possible.
 Video: Renders only the video items in the sequence. Six menu items appear
underneath, corresponding to each of the Timeline playback states. Only clips with
one of the selected Timeline playback states (appearing checked) are rendered.
 Audio: Renders only the audio items in the sequence. Select one or both of the
options that appear below to choose which audio items will be rendered; audio
items appearing with red render bars, and/or item level rendering for clips that need
to be resampled or that have filters applied.
Render Only Submenu
The commands in the Render Only submenu operate either on a selected region of the
Timeline, or on the entire sequence if no selection is made. Render commands
corresponding to each Timeline playback state appear in this submenu. In addition to
the Timeline playback states that appear in the Render Selection and Render All
submenus, another command appears here, Mixdown.
Choosing a command renders all items in the selected region of the Timeline that
appear with that Timeline playback state. For example, you can render only the real-
time preview clips appearing in your sequence, leaving all the other clips in that
sequence alone.
