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 of other cutting products these half frame settings have a different

name:

• Upper first = even

• Lower first = odd

Optimizing for video

This filter should always be selected if the end result is designed for video output.

Advantage: less picture interference, optimized color spectrum.

When the filter is switched off there is a speed advantage in calculating of about 20%, but

with this it brings a lower quality during video usage.

Rendering

This is where you can establish the format in which an animation will be used (AVI) and how

the Alpha channel should be controlled.

• RGB+Alpha computation (in a graphic): 24 Bit RGB color data as well as 8Bit alpha

channel data is stored in a file. The data can nevertheless be called up separately and is

not yet offset.

• RGB offset with alpha: 24 Bit RGB color data as well as 8Bit alpha channel data is stored

in a file (already offset).

Export RGB-Stream as

This is where the animation output format (AVI) is determined.

File

This is where the path, together with the output folder, in which the individual image

sequence is issued, are determined.

Codec

the codecs available are already checked on selection. Why? Some codecs do not register

correctly in the system. If the export process is then started, a system error appears that

looks as though Vitascene could not export with this codec. The real reason, however, is

usually an insufficient system integration of the codec - or of course a different alignment to

other media (e.g. special media players, etc.). If error checking brings up results these will

be shown in the codec's info window (codec does not support format, etc.)

Important: as some codecs transmit a default error code in this checking the real cause for

error can not always be determined correctly. Even an incorrect data path can cause an

export process to fail. Therefore, please always check the export path's validity (especially if

removable media, RAM discs, etc. are used).

Important Note:

Raw format : ideal for uncompressed animation files (AV) for usage in studios without

possible plug-ins. Supports RGB-A (inclusive of alpha channel!)
