What kind of video files are you working with (to start), what kind are you rendering to (the small chunks), and what kind of video files are you finishing with (to)?
What is the final destination for your project? DVD, blu ray disc. etc.?
Steve
These are all avi files I compile a family tree so one chunk is my childhood and coming to canada, another would be meeting wife having kids, another kids growing up, and so on. All together will be to large for my computer so I like to render by sections.
I dont know what the best video file to finish up with? Maybe leave at avi?
Final would be DVD to watch on TV if its to large I have to make part 1 and 2 : two dvd's?
Read up on SVRT. it looks at what you have on the timeline and renders only what needs to be rendered - For instance, the areas between the clips.
You mention a large project. Remember that you can get about one hour of best quality video on a single layer DVD, almost 2 hours on a double layer DVD. If you put all those short videos together and the time exceeds those guidelines, the video will be rendered to fit. The bit rate will be adjusted and you will lose quality.
I looked at the SVRT and a red line shows along the whole project indicating everything needs rendering right?
I am currently working on a rather large project, because of it's size I am rendering in smaller chunks.
Once all the smaller parts are completed I want to re-render all of them together.
Will this process degrade the videos that have been rendered already?
The very beginning is a still picture then the video starts after the transition.
In preview and playback on computer is is flawless.
Soon as I upload it pixalates.
Thanks hvp
First, thanks everyone for the input and suggestions. Sorry I am so late getting back to this issue. So I done as it has been suggested. Here is the issue hopefully better explained then before?
I made a video and rendered it for my camera settings just as described here. The link is here: http://youtu.be/5ho0VLO3zPc Clip is 8 minutes long and the file sizes are so different. Here as you can see my Original wmv file then downloaded back from YT to my PC and same rendered in PD10 www.hvpcan.com\fileman\filesizes.jpg
So back to my question why is it PD make such large files? This is only 8 min. I like to make a 1 hour or more video that would be so huge. Somehow YT renders it to a size that is much better for large files. But how do I render it to that size?
Thanks PS link should be working now. If not copy and paste into browser address.
Thanks Steve and Rob for your answer. First of my camera don't even take HD so here are the defaults out of the cam.
640x480
bitrate: 21409 Kbps
30 fps
I like Rob's 1280x720/30 setting it makes my 16 min video down to 600 mb. But the video is somewhat stretched to wide.
Can you suggest a setting for my above default setting?
I try to understand all the different rendering settings and have rendered the same video in all available options in PD 10
Lets say I upload a 1 GB video to You Tube and afterwards download it from You Tube it is only 240 MB
How can I get this result in Power Director? Any suggestions are welcome.
Maybe a different software to compress more but keep same quality?
Thanks
I like to make the following dvd menu structure if its possible?
Title: Exercise Videos for People Over Sixty
Sub listing : Mini Workouts
10 short videos in here
Sub Listing: Balance and Coordination
6 videos in here
Sub Listing: Individual Strength Exercises
5 videos in here
Sub Listing: Flexibility and Posture
4 videos in here
They are all short and will fit on dvd I just cant make the proper menu for it.
Not completely sure how this works? First of I see there are no 4:3 menus? When selecting a 16:9 and I start adding videos I will see only some on the screen and the once that are off the screen I cant even drag onto the menu.
I opened 10 videos but only 7 show and they are all jumbled. Sorry I canyt explain to well but attached is a snapshot.
Quote:To me the easier way would be to choose "remove and leave gap" - or, using the keyboard, press shift-delete.
Then nothing is moved nowhere, when removing a no-longer-used clip.
Michael.
Thanks Mike
That's even better. I seen it before but never used it. lol
When adding items to the timeline and then select a clip.
Every time I split any part of a clip and delete the part I don't need, the rest all moves to the left right next to the clipped piece.
I like to keep everything where it is and move items manually.
I checked the options but its not clear where in there I can disable this function.
