Transitions and effects that require rendering, along with any added elements, are
rendered automatically prior to output. A dialog shows you the rendering progress of
your sequence or clip. You can also choose to output unrendered real-time effects at a
lower quality, saving time by avoiding rendering. Options for choosing the quality of
rendered effects during Print to Video and Edit to Tape operations can be set in the
Render Control tab of the sequence settings and in the Real-Time (RT) pop-up menu in
the Timeline. For more information on setting these options, see “
Render Control Tab ”
on page 340.
Note: All audio that requires rendering is automatically rendered with a render quality
of High, regardless of the render quality setting.
A feedback window appears when the edit is done.
8 To cancel an edit in progress, press Esc or click Cancel.
Performing an Insert Edit When Editing to Tape
An insert edit allows you to edit individual video or audio tracks to tape, setting frame-
accurate In and Out points. Insert editing requires tapes that already have a
prerecorded signal, such as blacked tapes. For details, see “
About Insert Editing to Tape ”
on page 187.
Important: Make sure you’ve read and followed the instructions in Volume I,
Chapter 11, “Overview of Setting Up.”
Note: Some tape formats and VTRs, such as consumer mini-DV devices, do not
support insert editing. If your VTR or tape format is limited to assemble editing (such
as a DV deck or camcorder), then the insert editing controls in the Edit to Tape window
are dimmed.
