Once the first shot in the Render Queue has finished rendering, the next one begins, and
rendering continues from the top to the bottom of the list until the last shot is rendered.
All rendered shots in the Timeline appear with a green render bar above the Timeline
ruler and a green status bar over the grade that was rendered.
Note: To pause rendering, press Escape (whichever shot is interrupted will have to start
rendering over again from its beginning). You can click Start Render again to resume
rendering.
All rendered media is written to that project’s render directory, which is specified in the
Project Settings tab of the Setup room. The render directory is organized into numbered
subdirectories, with one subdirectory corresponding to each shot in your project’s Timeline.
The number of each subdirectory corresponds to each shot’s number in the Number
column of the Render Queue. Each of these subdirectories contains up to four rendered
sets of media corresponding to each rendered grade.
To save and export your program after rendering
1
After you’ve rendered all of the clips in your project, it’s important to save the project
immediately. The rendered status of each shot in the Timeline includes the path of each
rendered media file, which is used to relink the media when your project is sent back to
Final Cut Pro.
2
Once your Color project is safely saved, you need to send the project to the environment
in which it will be output.
• In a Final Cut Pro roundtrip: Send the project back to Final Cut Pro using the File > Send
To > Final Cut Pro command. For more information, see
.
• If you’re rendering for film output: The next step is to use the File > Gather Rendered
Media command to prepare the final image sequence that will be output to film. For
more information, see
.
For more information about options in the Project Settings tab or User Prefs tab in the
Setup room, see
