rendering
Hi,
I’m using a lot of simple fades as transitions, Sometimes they need to be rendered.
There are choices: Render Selection, Render All, Render Only.
I’ve read the manual about this and it’s still confusing.
I seem to get the results I want using “Render Only – Needs Render”.
But sometimes I go to my computer and find it rendering (seemingly on its own) dozens and dozens of shots and it seems to be putting them all onto my hard drive in a Render folder (?!).
I just want to render transitions the fastest way so I can view and keep working. Then when I’m ready I want to output the whole file in the best resolution to save as a Quicktime movie for various uses.
Can anyone explain how I can quickly render transitions and avoid this (seemingly arbitrary) auto render of my sequences?
I don’t want to cram my Hard Drive with all these files that I didn’t ask for.Also, How do I make sure that I’m getting the highest quality render of sequences+ their transitions when I’m outputting as a Quicktime?
Thanks for any advice! -

For highest quality, you should render ALL transitions before you output.
Generally speaking, the render files are relatively small.

I usually just highlight the transition and hit Apple R to render just that segment. I’m not sure what you mean when you say “highest quality.” Depends on how you are exporting and for what end use. If size is not a factor, self contained quicktime movie will give you the same settings as your sequence.
