Time period
This is where the temporal data for the active timeline can be entered using the keyboard.
Rate
This is where the number of frames per second is set. Presettings for PAL and NTSC playback are
available for easy access.
Quality
This is where the quality level is defined:
• high quality: best possible preview quality, soft glyphs and sharp textures. A inteference
reducing device is additionally used in case of small contours.
• good: best possible display of glyphs, but only crude display of graphics/animations
• slow - fast: produces the fastest, but qualitatively poorest results when working, i.e. for
previews, ideal for low-performance computers or when using complicated animations in
objects
Frame type
Here you can set the half or full frame parameters.
If you want to export a result, but either the editing software's project settings or the video
hardware requires a change to the half frame sequence, this can be adjusted easily.
Full frames is especially required for web animations or results that are to be used elsewhere
other than in the video application. If a comb effect is evident in the rendered result, this probably
means that the incorrect half frame type is selected. If the result is slightly jerky, it may be
necessary to change the settings from "Full frame" to "Half frame"
In some parameters these half-frame settings have a different name:
• Fields - upper first
• Fields - lower first
optimize for video
This filter should always be selected if the final result is to be used for video output.
Advantages: less picture interference, optimized color spectrum.
Although deactivating this filter will increase the rendering speed by approx. 20%, this will
diminish the quality when using the result for video productions.
