CHAPTER 6: IMPORTING, EXPORTING, AND DIGITAL CUT ■

Some people like to get fancy with their slates. I personally prefer a simple black

background with white sans serif fonts, which is readable and easy to identify. I find it

funny that some people like to advertise with their slates. Usually the only person who

sees the slate is the person creating duplicates of it at the dub house. Everyone else

tends to fast-forward through the slate to view the program.

Rendering Effects

After you complete bars, tone, and slate, you need to render all the effects in your

sequence. Mark an in point at the beginning of your sequence and an out point at the

end. Select all your tracks. Click the Digital Video toggle above the Timeline so that it

is blue. From there, select Clip

> Render In to Out. This will render all your effects.

One of the keys to shortening your render times is to render the top track only.

If any effects exist underneath the top track of effects, they will be rendered, too.

If the client is in the room when you have to render, this is a good time to catch up

on the latest office gossip. The best editors keep track of what interests their clients. If

your sequence is long and effects-laden, you’re going to have to do some serious talking.

While rendering, you might notice that the system updates you on the percentage

of effects rendered. Press T on your keyboard, and the information will shift to show

you the estimated time left before the render is complete. This number can change dras-

tically, especially if you are rendering a really big sequence of effects with multiple tracks.

Convert Audio Sample Rates

The fourth and final step in digital cut preparation is to convert audio sample rates to

the project sample rate that are established in your audio settings.

Normally with a DV project, the sampling rate is set to 48 kHz, but if you

added any CD audio (44.1 kHz) or audio from other sources, you have to convert the

sample rate.

To do this, select Bin

> Change Sample rate. A menu will appear with a pull-

down button that allows you to choose the sample rate, the quality of audio, and the

target drive in which the media is to be stored.

Three Methods of Digital Cut

Now that we’ve covered how to set up for a digital cut, let’s go through the procedure.

First, you need to determine which kind of digital cut to do. There are three different

ways to perform a digital cut:

• Insert edit

• Assemble edit

• Crash record

Let’s take a look at each one and determine how and why they are used.
