    Hy guys

    I am working on this project and am going to render several clips before reentering them into my timeline and I was wondering what is the best format to render these clips in? I was thinking (*MP4* avc ) internet HD 1080P This is a 4 minute corporate video and I need this to be good.

    Can someone help me out here?

    As usual thanks again every one .

    “best” is a vague term.

    If you are going to reuse/edit something you render then you should probably use a high quality intermediate format. The Internet 1080p format you mention is a lower bitrate final delivery format.

    Possible choices are
    HDCAM SR Lite
    XAVC Intra

    These will be pretty big files but will preserve the source quality to it’s fullest for your subsequent edit and renders.

    If your camera outputs AVC then AVC is fine but just make sure the bitrate is the same as your camera. Same for MPEG-2 (e.g. XDCAM). Just make sure the bitrate is the same as your camera. Files like these will be smaller than the above suggestions.

    Why?

    Seriously, why do you need to render then re-render your footage? Tell us what you want to accomplish and we may be able to recommend a more efficient workflow.

    The question is, why specifically do you need to re-render those clips?

    Yes
    In this 4 minute project there are some green screen effect an twixor slow motion effects also in some of these scene, and I am shooting in several locations for this music video over the course on a couple of months , I thought it would be much more easier to render deferent scenes from the locations and put this all together after with the same properties of course ! MOV file 24 FPS what do you suggest as work flow ?

    Thanks

    Embedded veg files.

    ” I thought it would be much more easier to render deferent scenes from the locations and put this all together after with the same properties of course ”

    Do everything but the render. Save each of these different scenes in their own veg file, then in a master project, just drop these veg files on your timeline, then encode once. Vegas treats embedded veg files just like any other event.

    I can’t find any reference to embedded veg files in the manual, but it is a huge timesaver here.

    What Stephen mentioned is what i also would recommend you do.
    Save your different scenes as .veg files (Vegas project file)
    and then drop them on the timeline for your final render.

    Good, And you dont need to concern yourself with multiple
    renders following this method.
