Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 1456)

• If the Render RT Segments checkbox is selected, all sections of the Timeline with a
green render bar are rendered.
• If the Render pop-up menu is set to Open Sequences, the rendering steps above (except
for saving the project) are performed for each open sequence. The project is
automatically saved after each render.
About Changing Render and Video Processing Settings
Each sequence has render options you can change in the following locations:
• Render Control tab of the Sequence Settings window: This tab allows you to choose the
video quality and frame rate of rendered files. You can decrease rendering time by
reducing image quality and frame rate.
For more information, see “Changing Settings in the Render Control Tab.”
These settings are also available in the Render Control tab of the User Preferences
window. In the User Preferences window, these settings determine the default render
settings for newly created sequences.
• Video Processing tab of the Sequence Settings window: This tab allows you to choose
color space, bit depth, maximum white level conversion, and scaling options for your
sequence.
For more information, see “Changing Settings in the Video Processing Tab.”
You can also adjust the default video processing settings in each sequence preset,
using the Sequence Preset Editor in the Audio/Video Settings window.
Changing Settings in the Render Control Tab
Each sequence has its own render and playback settings, located in the Render Control
tab of the Sequence Settings window. These settings allow you to turn on and turn off
processor-intensive video filters and frame blending. This is useful if you want to apply
filters and speed changes to clips but temporarily turn them off to avoid rendering while
you edit. You can also use this tab to reduce render quality while you work and then
return to full quality for your final render.
