Determining your video save options
The following pages explain the many important options you must check
before creating your movie. Each page details one tab in the dialog box.

1. Entire project creates a video file of the entire project while Preview Range
creates a video file of the preview area only. (This option is disabled if your video
project has no preview area.)
2. Frame type determines the format to save the video in, either as frame-based or
field-based. (For more on these options see the 'Setting field options for video
clips' section, page 138).
3. Play after creating plays the resulting video file after its creation. This can
serve as a signal that the rendering has finished.
4. Perform SmartRender speeds up the creation process by reusing previously
saved video, re-rendering only the areas modified since you last created the video.
(You must use the same file name and destination.) Video Editor detects these
differences by monitoring the changes made to the video project and matching
those with the existing video file.
5. Keyframe control allows you to control the placement of keyframes for compres-
sion schemes that support interframe compression (such as Cinepak). This can
help the compression algorithm emphasize important segments.
Note: For more on understanding keyframing and compression, see the Appendix,
page 337.
