A red slice indicates a segment which contains unrendered clips or effects. During ren-
dering, the red turns to green to indicate the render progress.
Slice Colors
In addition to the standard gray, Slices can appear with one of the following colors, thus indicat-
ing how (i.e. in terms of frame rate, frames per second, fps) corresponding Timeline areas will be
played back:
w Green -
Green slices identify segments that are ready for immediate realtime playback. They con-
tain either realtime hardware effects or effects that have already been rendered. The sys-
tem falls back on existing render files.
w Ye l l o w -
Yellow slices identify segments that can basically be played back without waiting for ren-
dering. Depending on processor performance and FX constellation, however, frames may
be dropped during the preview. The system cannot determine whether this will occur
until the Playline actually enters the Slice because processor usage (for example, for real-
time software effects) is not evident beforehand. Audio-video synchronicity, however,
remains intact, and the visual impression of the effects can usually be judged quite reli-
ably.
w Red -
Red slices identify segments that must be rendered prior to playback. During the render-
ing process, the Slices gradually turn green. This is the case for all Pinnacle Liquid Classic
effects.
