Turned on the SVRT track out of curiosity as I had just made minimal cuts to an mp4 imported in PD16 and it showed as green throughout, great I thought, this will be quick to Produce. Output format is the same as input, mp4 at the same frame rate. etc.

However - you already knew this was coming - when I get to Produce, I cannot clickset the SVRT button, it just will not come on. I can turn on and off "Fast video rendering technology" but obviously no point in doing that. I do have Hardware video encoder set permanently on but I guess thats because my video card supports NVENC and with the new drivers I installed the other day PD16 can now see my video card can help encoding.

So with SVRT indicating we have no need to re-render (thats what I assume) I don't seem to be able to take advantage, and it still seems to re-encode the piece.

I'm not sure I understand whats going on. Not a major issue as the piece is just under 2 minutes, and it renders in less time that its taking me to type this.

So I would appreciate if someone more expert than I could explain where I am thinking wrong, so to speak.

Thanks,
Alan.
