Specifying Video Output Settings

Use the Video Output settings to render the video portions of a composite or other branch. You can create movies with the same professional options and properties as the footage that you used to create the project. Many industry formats are supported.

Note: For information on rendering the audio portions of a project, see Audio Rendering.

To specify Video Output settings:

1. In the Render Queue, make sure Video Output is enabled. This option is enabled by default.

The Video Output options become available.

Note: You can use presets to avoid setting these output options for each render.

2. Select a format for the rendered files from the Format list. For information on the available options, see Choosing an Image Format.
3. Select the rendering quality from the Quality list. For information, see Setting Rendering Quality.
4. Select the size of the rendered image from the Frame Size list. For information, see Choosing a Frame Size.
5. Select a bit depth for the rendered files form the Depth list. Only a few formats support higher bit depth. The Original Depth shows the bit depth of the output's operator.

For more information, see Setting Bit Depth of Rendered Images.

6. Choose the channels to render. For information, see Choosing Which Channels to Render.
7. Set field dominance, if required. For information, see Setting Field Dominance.
8. If the selected format creates an image sequence (rather than a single movie file), set the image sequence options. For information, see Setting Image Sequence Options.
