Rendering Again a Finished Video
I am working on a film project for our organization which has a length of 2 hours. I edited and rendered in Quicktime Apple Prores 422 since this is the format required by a film producer. After finishing the film with the said format, I got almost 60GB in size. My computer is terrible so it took me 12 hours to complete the render.
Now, I made a little mistake to the film. Need to re-edit and render again…and possibly wait for another 12 or more hours. Unfortunately, we need the final video tonight. I am thinking of editing the “completed video” and just render it again instead of editing the .aep file full of effects and color correction because I am thinking it will SOMEHOW make the rendering faster. My questions are:
1. Am I correct to assume that using the “completed video” in post-production/editing will make the rendering faster compare to a layered project full of effects?
2. I want to retain the output format (codec, framerate, resolution, etc) of the video. If number 1 question is possible, will the output of the “new completed” video stay the same after rendering?Thanks for all the help!!

Sorry Dave but I don’t get what you mean.

large renders should be image sequences so you can re-render individual frames if necessary(and leave off after an error). Wavelet codecs like prores, dnxhd, cineform are lossy, although very high quality and need re-rendering unless you use them in a special smart codec way. If you do it right, they can export 4-12x faster!

This is the best way. I do it all the time when needing a fast fix and it works perfectly.
