Chroma Rendering Efficiently meaning mixing clip types?

Posted by Don Cobble on October 10, 2013 at 12:29 am

I have to render a 1 hour 2 camera Chroma Project every week for webcast.
Question: If I edit with Cineform 1920×1080 AVi or MFX and Render out for archive Cineform 1920×1080 High.

does it matter about the grafics format like PNG or Jpeg or should I pre render those out to another format.
I have 2 back grounds – PNG Multiple visiuals Jpgs
Also lower thirds done with BCC 7.
and a bug PNG

Should I render any or all of these out as a ???
Since I use these same grafics over and over.

Typical render time at this point for 1 hour project is 14 to 16 Hours. I noticed it really dogs down on the lower thirds.
Thank U

I don’t understand what you are asking.

Sorry for misunderstanding – I don’t know all the proper terminology. What I am asking is if I have a Cam 1 Chroma Key Shot I should render it out as cineform then bring it back into the timeline – rendered. and like wise Cam 2 chroma key Shot render out as cineform then bring back in timeline rendered.
My Question is should I also do that for graphic’s jpegs, pngs and lower thirds intro and ending I use every week so ultimately I have them in a pre-rendered form so in the long run it will cut down my weekly rendering of this weekly program.
If yes what do I render lower-thirds, Jpegs, pngs, that need alpha-channel to be usable again.
All I said my be irrelevant – It all renders now if I do all of them together, but, it take 14 hours per 1 hour program to render. So I thought maybe it might be me mixing footage photos and so on.
Hope this is clear.
Thank You for any direction

Why are you going through Cineform in the first place. Vegas will edit the MXF files directly since Version 8. Artilce by DSE

It was my understanding that the quality would hold up better for rendering and then taking the rendered file back into my project to use in a rendered state?

I can’t speak to that, but my experience is that almost any re-encode loses some quality
