Editing and Special FX

[Grinner Hester]

I just send reference files to AE then render what I need.
Again, I do this last, time permitting.

[Daniel Kim] “Alan’s last comment made a lot sense to just get the original footage but since I know which part of the footage is going to be actually end up in the final render just add the VFX into the necessary part of the footage (Hoping that is what he means.. haha) “

Yep, you got it. No reason to render out part of a clip that’s referenced in an NLE timeline when you can simply go to the original file and use the same in/out points. Rendering out a clip from an NLE adds a needless generation of compression.

Hey all, thanks for all the help!

And Alan, as I was fiddling with After effects and finding shortcuts, one of the shortcuts made perfect sense ‘i’ and ‘o’ to me now… ‘in’ and ‘out’ points. Haha Thanks to your information 🙂

God bless!
