  • Rendering times longer than normal…thoughts?

    Posted by Al Bergstein on September 14, 2011 at 9:18 pm

    A relatively short piece that is only about 18 minutes long is taking about an hour to render. I’m wonder…

    1. Could the Boris FX for brightness control on many of the clips affecting rendering time? (I assume it does).
    2. Does NOT using trimming on long clips affect rendering? I mean by this, I often avoid trimming and simply drag one end or the other of my clip to shorten it. If I was actually trimming, would that make my render times dramatically shorter? I was sort of under the impression that clicking and dragging to shorten clips was about the same as trimming (leaving the underlying structure of the clip about the same).

    Or am I misunderstanding the differences?

    [Al Bergstein] “1. Could the Boris FX for brightness control on many of the clips affecting rendering time? (I assume it does).”

    Yes. From my understanding quite a few of those video effects affect the render times because it requires extra processing.

    That’s my understanding as well, so I don’t think so, especially since it doesn’t alter the original file at all (just specifies different points to start/stop reading the original file from).

    We’ll see what input others have.

    You are correct in both assumptions above. As a simple test, remove the fx from the event (clip) and do a test render. Speeds should dramatically improve. In addition, you will want to check to make sure you didn’t bump the opacity slider on the track. Anything less than 100% will drastically increase render times.

    Let us know how it turns out.
