Minumizing Render times
Hi all.
Wondering if you can offer me some suggestions.
I just finished an eight minute video in FCP. The entire video is a jumpback background and animated graphics in the form of QT movies with alpha channels, some stills from Photoshop and transitions added to each clip. I kept the project in FCP because I need to time the graphics to a VO.
The render times nearly killed me.
I now have another video just like it to produce. Can you offer some suggestions to reduce my render times? Is there a differnt format I can render my After Effects movies in? I’m currently using the animation codec.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Not particularly…. Ani+alpha is slow to render… you can adjust settings in FCP for rough-renders to make sure it’s looking OK – like Fast/Liner motion rendering, 75% resoltion, and 50% timebase. And then render overnight for high res…
short of buying a faster computer there’s not much you can do.

Thanks Charlie.
Would you recommend Motion over After Effects? I’m I dealing with the same type of render issues with Motion? I don’t know the program very well, but I’m giving myself a crash course now.
Thanks for the help
