  Simple little question…render/force-render

  Media100i 7.5 – always wondered – what’s the difference between render all and force render?

  I believe “render all” only renders what’s necessary for real time play back, while “force render” does just that – renders all transitions, graphics, etc. regardless of whether it’s necessary for real time playback or not.

  you would want to force render when exporting a timeline for something like web-encoding, where otherwise real time static titles, or color corrections, etc. would not need to be rendered when mastering to tape.

  Anything that’s not rendered won’t export from the edit suite – therefore the force render! Kind Regards, Chris

  Nah, I export from the edit suite all the time, and never select force render. I select “Render all” instead.

  When I export a program or range, to a self contained or by-reference movie, usually for converting in Cleaner, a dialogue box appears:

  “Some items you are about to export need to be rendered. Do you want to continue exporting?”

  Followed by two radio buttons:
  o Render All
  o Force Render All
  [CANCEL] [OK]

  I’ve always left the radio button at the default “Render All”, and then clicked {OK] but have always wondered what the difference is.
