Chapter 17 Render Queue 323

When you’ve finished grading your program in Color and you render that project as a

series of QuickTime movies in preparation for returning to Final Cut Pro, any of the

previously mentioned effects which have been invisibly preserved are not rendered.

Instead, when you send the finished Color project back to Final Cut Pro, such effects

reappear in the resulting Final Cut Pro sequence. At that point you have the option of

making further adjustments and rendering the Final Cut Pro project prior to outputting

it to tape or as a QuickTime master movie file.

More About Motion Settings and Pan & Scan Adjustments

A subset of the motion settings from Final Cut Pro is translated into the equivalent Pan

& Scan settings in Color when you first import the project. These settings have a visible

effect on your Color project, and can be further adjusted as you fine-tune the program.

However, these effects are not rendered by Color; instead, they’re passed from Color

back to Final Cut Pro for rendering there. For more information, see “Importing and

Exporting Geometry Settings with Final Cut Pro” on page 294.

The Render Queue Interface

You specify which shots in the program you want to render using the Render Queue

list. Whenever you add shots to this list, they’re organized by shot number. The order in

which shots appear in this column dictates the order in which they’re rendered—the

topmost unrendered shot in the list is rendered first, and then rendering continues for

the next unrendered shot on the list, and so on until the end of the list is reached.

Â Number column: Identifies that shot’s numeric position in the Timeline. All shots in

the Render Queue are listed in descending order based on their ID number.

Â Shot Name column: Shows a thumbnail and the name of the shot.

Â In column: The first frame of media that will be rendered for that shot. This timecode

is equal to the Project In point plus the current Handles value specified in the Project

Settings tab of the Setup room.

Â Out column: The last frame of media that will be rendered for that shot. This

timecode is equal to the Project Out point plus the current Handles value specified in

the Project Settings tab of the Setup room.

Note: If there is no extra media available on disk for handles at the beginning or end

of shots, then handles will not be added.

Â Grade ID column: Shows the currently selected grade for that shot. You can queue up

the same shot up to four times with different grades enabled, in order to render

media for each grade associated with that shot.

Â Progress column: This is the column where a render bar appears to let you know how

long that shot is taking to render. If the shot is not currently rendering, this column

shows the render status of that shot (queued, rendering, or rendered).
