is it necessary after editing a video clip including trim/multi trim, sub titles, slow motion, addition of music track, to go into the production mode of rendering if the file structure stays the same ie: AVCHD video clip edited in and AVCHD video clip out? Same format and file structure.

I would pack project materials and save as on the final version.

So, is production necessary if you do not change any file conditions prior to putting the file out?

I am getting the hang of Power Director 12, just need to learn a few things.

ANY changes you add or where you slice up a video are only finalized in the Produce stage or when you Create a Disc from the data in the tracks.

Basically an edited video isn't created until you carry out the final stage.

Save as = retaining the instructions to a proprietary file, *.pds so you can re-open the same project layout as you left it.
Produce = the production of a media file from the informational instructions you "entered" while editing in PDR.

Practice with PowerDirector - play and learn

Thanks,

In my heat I really knew that. Just trying to avoid a 5 hour rendering on each video. When creating at the highest quality 1920X1080 FOR Blu-ray output takes a long time I have just upgraded from 4GB ram to 8GB ram and will see if that helps. My computer has a quad processer.

May have to build my own computer with more processers and 32 GB ram. Just don't like the idea of reinstalling everything.

Thanks for your quick response.

I am going to owe you guys big time.

Ever get to Iowa dinner is on me.
