Suggested codec & render settings for a photo montage documentary?
Hi all,
I’ve edited a short documentary (15 min) comprised from black & white and color photographs. There are motion, scaling and fade transitions as well as some subtle effects; there are also titles with minor animation.
The format of the movie is intended for SD PAL, and I’ve set the sequence to Progressive.
I’ve been using Apple ProRes 422(HQ) as my codec and set “Render all YUV material in high-precision YUV” in the Video Processing pane in the Sequence Settings.
I wanted to use high quality settings, but it seems to me that maybe I went a tad to far and this is causing my rendering to take a long time. What would be the optimal settings for such a case?
Thanks

in this case, i don’t thing this will be of much help: You are working with stills (I guess PNG, TIff, or so, but normally RGB). Anyway I don’t think will be of any harm to let it like that.
You should set “Render Motion Effects: BEST”. This should improve any movement, resizing, etc.
NEVER use the ROTATION of the Motion Tab (This force Lineal Motion rendering. Supposedly the lower quality available). If you need to rotate, use a 3D filter (Andy’s Better 3D).
Set your canvas at 100% to see the results.[Guy Carmeli] “I wanted to use high quality settings, but it seems to me that maybe I went a tad to far and this is causing my rendering to take a long time. What would be the optimal settings for such a case? “
High quality setting rendering will always take longer. Is to you to decide if is worth or not the extra time. Make a test.
There are plugins that possibly will improve the quality of the picture. not sure the speed too.
