I have just completed my first long video from primarily still pictures but adding transitions, effects and voice over/music. The end result was burnt using PD10 mpeg2 without difficulty providing that I disengaged the SVRT feature at the Produce stage.

Because of the size of my project … 400+ pictures and a final length of 1hr15min, I first made the video with some transitions etc but no sound. I Produced this in three 100+ pic sections mpeg2 PAL (with SVRT on) and the result was OK. I then joined these 3 videos in the Timeline and added more transitions/effects, sound tracks etc. Produced again (the SVRT was still selected) and the result was very poor, some missed voice tracks, noise, various sounds like ‘jammed’ tape machines etc and often poor picture quality.

When I unticked the SVRT I ended up with a quality result and a good burn … all with PD10 :

Am I doing something wrong with SVRT? I see that others have also experienced difficulties.

My pc is well spec’d with good graphics, i7 processor and 8GB memory.

My normal project is like yours, hundreds of photos, hundreds of transitions and hundreds of titles... around 1 1/2 hours long.

I NEVER have SVRT turned on.......... or shadow files... And most of us never use it either.... for that same reason.... They can leave SVRT out as far as I am concerned. Just because it is there does not mean you need it...... The guys doing HD video clips use it.... but it does cause a lot of people issues like you had... don't use it then... everytime I have played with it the burn time was actually longer....

Thanks Bubba ... seems the best policy. Rendering speed is not really an issue for me since there are always other things to attend to when you are retired

Any chance that you know the answer to my other post ...
