Figure 6-42: Timeline element marked for prerendering
Additionally, video clips that are subject to a prerendering will be
marked in the timeline with colors:
With a double-click of the mouse on the timeline scale below the yellow
line you can start the prerendering process. Alternatively, you can use
the menu option Prerender on the context menu of the timeline ele-
ment. The progress of the rendering can be seen in the job list of the
tab Jobs (see section “Jobs” on page 4-33).
You can delete prerendered data, for example, if it is no longer required,
with the menu option Delete prerendering on the context menu of a
video clip.
For more information about the prerendering process in general see
section “Working in Real Time” on page 2-11.
6.4.9 Changing In- and Outpoints of Timeline Elements
Usually, before a clip is added to the timeline you adjust its in- and out-
point via the source-edit mode of the Edit Tool (see section “The
Source-Edit Mode” on page 5-14). However, after clips or other time-
line elements are added to the timeline you still have the possibility at
hand to change their in- and outpoints.
yellow The clip has to be prerendered (see figure
above).
purple The clip is currently prerendered. Its progress
can be seen in the job list.
blue The clip is already prerendered.
After a prerendering save your project file. If an already saved
project file is not saved after a prerendering process again, the
prerendered files will not be recognized by the Edit Tool when
the project file is loaded once more: They will not be used for
a play-out and have to be deleted manually (as described in
section “Cleaning Temporary Data Manually” on page A-21).
Also related to the prerendering of files is the Prerender all
menu option on the menu Project (see section “Prerender all”
on page 9-15).
