Creating a movie
When you're finished editing and the previews look good, it is time to do a final
render of your project. The appropriate format of your final movie depends on
the destination of the file, but the procedure is the same in every case.
To create a video file:
1. Click File: Create - Video File to open the Create Video File dialog
box.
Select the drive and folder where you want to save the video and
2.
specify the file type you want to create, such as AVI or MPG.
Type a name for the file in the File name entry box.
3.
Click the Options button to open the Video Save Options dialog box
4.
to review and/or change the attributes of your video file. (This can be a
complicated operation. See the next section on "Determining your video
save options" to learn more about these options.)
Click OK to accept the current video attributes. The Video Save
5.
Options dialog box closes and you return to the Create Video File dialog
box.
Click Save.
6.
Notes:
•
Render your video with exactly the same attributes as your captured video.
The movie should render very quickly and the quality will be the best you can get.
The most important attributes you should check are: codec, frame rate, and
frame size. You can check these settings by right-clicking on a selected video
clip in your project and selecting Properties from the pop-up menu.
•
Render your video as few times as possible, preferably only once. For example,
don't render a title sequence in CG Infinity and then import the AVI into Video Editor
and render it again. Instead, bring the CG Infinity project onto the Video Editor
Timeline.
• When creating an MPEG file, MSP now supports AC-3 Output for DVD. This is a
new and unique way of digitally compressing and decoding audio channels into a
very small space. In the Compression tab of the Video Save Options dialog box,
select NTSC DVD or PAL DVD under Media type. Then, select AC-3 output under
Audio format to produce a high audio playback quality.
