Stage 10: Rendering Your Media Out of Color
Once you finish grading the project in Color, use the Render Queue to render out the
final media. The Render Queue has been set up to let you easily render your project
incrementally; for example, you can render out all the shots of a program that have been
graded that day during the following night to avoid rendering the entire project at once.
However, when you're working on a project using 2K image sequence scans, rendering
the media is only the first step. The rendered output is organized in the specified render
directory in such a way as to easily facilitate managing and rerendering the media for
your Color project, but it's not ready for delivery to the film recording facility until the
next step.
Stage 11: Assembling the Final Image Sequence for Delivery
Once every single shot in your program has been rendered, you need to use the Gather
Rendered Media command to consolidate all the frames that have been rendered,
eliminating handles, copying every frame used by the program to a single directory, and
renumbering each frame as a contiguously numbered image sequence. Once this has
been done, the rendered media is ready for delivery to the film recording facility.
