reducing render times
Avid Newscutter w/ Adrenaline.
I am working on a show that is fairly simple. We are repurposing content with a bug, lower thirds, and a couple of other misc graphic elements. Nothing that complex. Render times are killing us. The bug is a pict with a matte. If I take it into AE and make a QT with an alpha will that take less time to render? Any other tips on reducing renders?

What resolution are your graphics? If you’re creating them at 1:1 you’ll get less realtime playback, which means you’ll render more. Try creating them at 2:1 or 3:1–you’ll likely not see a quality hit, but you should get more realtime playback.
Also, if your matte key effects/titles are set to render in High Quality (the HQ button in the effect editor) it’ll take forever to render. If you have HQ on, turn it off and you’ll probably see realtime playback.
Also, rendering your bug as a quicktime with alpha won’t save you anything in render times.
Depending on your resolution and how many layers of graphics you have, as well as the power of your system, you should get realtime or close to realtime playback, with very fast render times. I’m guessing you have HQ set.

Thanks Michael, grapics are 2:1. I will check the HQ thing tonight when I go in to work.
