Also, I am finding when I do a reboot of my laptop, the render speed does increase dramatically…

Thanks Mike, would you suggest that I use the following still:

Field order is None (progressive scan)
Pixel ratio 1.000

?

Hi Mike,

Im not using any fx at all, just a short clip of static images. The reason we use iTunes is:
Because the videos are for our bands live performances, the audio is a click track for our drummer, which he uses to keep time, and the video is just sent off to a projector which we use to show our website or certain pieces of video footage for some songs. ITunes works great on our PC because it allows us to do a different volume setting per song in the playlist, and also allows you to set a time where the song can be started from or ended at. Which is perfect for us because if one particular audio track is too loud, we can set it in the options to play softer or louder, and if we want to start the songs 20 seconds into the actual clip it can be done all in the playlist.
We have yet to fid a program that could do this for us, windows media cant, so this is why we prefer iTunes. Could you pls maybe suggest a better custom render setting for iTunes videos perhaps? I woujld just prefer to render in a .MOV format, as sometimes if we ever use another format, sometimes the video clips can jump mid way, which throws the drummer out of time. Bad for a gig!
Thanks in advance 🙂

Hi all, im having a similar problem , hoping you can all help. I have made a video with lots or sporadic pieces of text imposed over a video clip. i have recently tried to speed up the text portion only, so rather that recut each individual generated media text piece (My video has around 900 pieces of these!) i chosed to render it to a new file and add a velocity envelope, which works fine, but when i place the faster rendered piece above the video clip it no longer is imposed over the video. im assuming after rendering the text it has lost its transparency. How do i rerender the text and still keep its background transparency.

Many thanks,

Mike
