Is necessary to render the TL b4 exporting movie?
I don’t know how but my entire timeline is red. I tried to render it but it takes over 12hrs.
Do I have to render before exporting the movie to an avi file?
Do this affect the quality?thanks in advance

Rendering the timeline is for preview purposes only and does not affect exported quality or render time.

I would have to disagree – it’s like the old commercial that said “You can pay me know, or you can pay me later”.
If you have effects on the timeline, or it’s red because the clip format doesn’t match the project, it will have to render that material for export. Do it now, or do it later during export, it still takes time to render.
If you render the timeline prior to export, the export movie should then go very quickly.

Hum! Interesting! Anyway I did render the red timeline and guest what! Is not readable by Encore either media player or Windvd. It say “unsupported media format” but it is avi file.
Is the first time I have this problem and the only thing I did different is that I captured the miniDV tape in another PC using PP2. Then I swap the hard disc (USB) to my editing PC.
I checked the captured footage and noticed it said 720×486 insted of 480….
any idea? -

Was wrong. Its 720×480 sorry -
Your Pro 2 PC may have another codec installed…like Matrox or Canopus. Download GSpot (free) to see which codec.

Jeff, do a test; a 1 minute clip with an effect, like Gaussian blur. Render the timeline and note the time it takes, then export a Microsoft DV clip and note that time…it is the same either way.
