■ A TOUR OF THE INTERFACE

So just what is rendering? Rendering is the creation of an effect or effects so that they

can play back on your system without causing the system to be overloaded. When we

render, Free DV or Xpress Pro looks at the media and creates a new piece of media

containing the effect. This is necessary because the computation required to reproduce

an effect using just computer power is too extensive. It’s much easier for your system to

just read a media file than to have to create it on the fly. So rendering is necessary. It

can also be time-consuming.

To render an effect, place the blue position cursor on the effect in the Timeline and

click the Render Effect button. Choose a source drive (the drive where the rendered

effect will reside) and choose Render. The effect will render. Once rendered, an effect

in the Timeline will have no dot next to it. It is ready to play in real time.

Remove Effect If you’ve decided that you would prefer to remove an effect that already

exists in your Timeline, move the blue position indicator so that it rests on the effect,

select the track where the effect exists on the track indicator, and click the Remove

Effect button. The effect icon will disappear from your Timeline.

Mark In This Mark In button works exactly the same as the Mark In button under-

neath the Source and Record monitors, with one exception: The mark will be placed

on whichever monitor is selected. Note that when a monitor is selected, its mini-time-

line is silver—slightly brighter than the usual gray. So if you want to mark in on the

Source monitor, click the Source monitor first to activate it and then use this key.

Mark Out The Mark Out button works the same as the Mark In button, as explained

previously. The Mark Out key will apply only to the selected monitor.

Mark Clip The Mark Clip button is the same as described previously. It affects only

the selected monitor.

Remove Marks The Remove Marks button clears the Mark In and Mark Out of the

selected monitor.

Fast Menu The Fast Menu button displays additional function buttons. This is redun-

dant to the Fast Menu button underneath the Source and Record monitors.

Add Edit The Add Edit button has so many uses that it is somewhat difficult to

describe. Basically, all it does is create an edit in the middle of a clip, splitting it into

two clips. At the outset, adding an edit does nothing. But in the hands of a skillful and

creative editor (i.e., you) Add Edit can create interesting transitions.

Note: Rendering is discussed in more detail in Chapter 7.
