Re: [Avid-L2] Okay so I did and Fing Avid Mixdown now I get the double video mixdown whammy?

 

Thanks for the clarification.  That is how I've always thought about the process.  Hence to me an export doesn't create new media.  So in light of that if the second video mixdown is not required, with all the caveats that have been mention about having a single continuous file then avoiding the second mixdown when possible will in fact save avid render media space as the render is really to the exported file.

John,

When you export, the render is made into the file. You're both circling each other, and it's exhausting.

ANY effect applied to any clip MUST BE RENDERED upon export. If you choose to render before export, the render gets saved as an MXF file which links in your sequence. If you do not choose to render before export, it still gets rendered (IT HAS TO) and written into the export file.

Whew.

But when I export a sequence to send to QT movie with unrendered dissolves after the export the dissolves are not rendered in my sequence?  I'll have to double check this.  I always figured the only new media created when exporting to QT is the actual QT file itself and nothing in the Avidmediafiles folder.  I'll have to check on this when I come up from air.

dissolves do require render, as much as the timewarp does. irrelevant if performed before or during the export

If I have a simple sequence with dissolves as the transition effect I don't recall having to render the dissolves to export to QT.  I thought Avid just rendered the effects on the fly when exporting but perhaps I've just not paid attention given I am always prerendering my upper track safe color effect before exporting.

IIRC when I export a simple sequence like the dissolve transitions I don't remember it being rendered after the export which is why I always assumed Avid was just baking as it went to the file export.

not sure which other avid effects do not need render, when the intended output is a file.
and yes, the second mixdown is a safer route, albeit not required in this particular scenario.

So the motion adapter is a special case that requires a render for an export unlike other Avid effects.  I was hoping it would just render out on the fly as it made the .mov file eliminating the render media on the Avid side.  If that's the case the 2nd video mixdown seems like the better way to go for all the reasons already listed.
