SVRT: When Can I Use it?

SVRT can be applied to video clips in the MPEG-1, MPEG-2, H.264 (Ultra version only) and DV-AVI (Type I) formats. In the following conditions, clips (or portions of clips) do not require rendering during production, and SVRT can therefore be applied:

  • The frame rate, frame size, and file format are the same as those of the destination production profile.
  • The bitrate is similar to that of the destination production profile.
  • The TV format is the same as that of the destination production profile. For more information, see Setting Video Clip Interlacing Format.

If all of the above conditions are met, SVRT can be used. Any clips that do not meet the above criteria are fully rendered without SVRT.

In the following conditions, clips (or portions of clips) must be rendered during production, and SVRT can therefore not be applied:

  • Adding a title or transition effect
  • Modifying the color of a video clip
  • Audio profile does not match destination production profile
  • Modifying the volume of an audio clip
  • Merging two video clips (clips within 2 seconds before or after the merged clips will be rendered)
  • Splitting a video clip (clips within 2 seconds before or after the split will be rendered)
  • Trimming a video clip (clips within 2 seconds before or after the trimmed clip will be rendered)
  • If the total duration of the production is less than one minute and any portion of the video requires rendering, the entire production will be rendered for efficiency reasons.
