![]() ![]() The settings and recommendations that are forthcoming may require a more powerful rig than you have at your disposal. If this is so, then by all means, use what works best for you and your project. While I would argue that you should really be reviewing any edit at a far higher quality than the draft-worthy I-Frame Only MPEG option, there may be use cases where you cannot afford to increase the quality of your render previews. This may not be a deal breaker if you are working on a short nine-second spot but could be a major setback and time loss if you are working on a feature-length project and have all of your reels already rendered. One reason for this is that when you change your render preview settings, you will discard any prior render previews. Indeed, some editors don’t tweak these settings or find no need to, or simply prefer not to switch them back and forth. In general, you could likely leave these settings all the way through the rough assembly of your edit and rely on their lower resolution and lower quality in order to expedite the editorial process, and simply use them as a low-quality draft preview prior to your final output. So it’s best to leave them unchecked as shown above.īefore we dive into tweaking and optimizing the file format for your video previews and the resolution, let’s first touch on why you may wish to leave these settings at their default. There are isolated instances where I have found the “Maximum Render Quality” option helpful (in particular when doing any post-sharpening or post-blurring effects) but you likely won’t be needing them, and they can substantially slow your rendering speeds, as well as playback too. Note too that you really don’t need to enable the checkboxes for “Maximum Bit Depth” nor “Maximum Render Quality” here. Chances are your sequence settings will mirror this option unless you’ve already modified them previously. You’ll note that here the sequence is set to I-Frame Only MPEG and sports a 1920×1080 resolution by default as stated above. You needn’t worry about many of the other options seen here, with the exception of those items found within the Video Previews section. It should look like this (though keep in mind your sequence will likely appear different, for illustrative purposes here is a common 4K sequence): Optimizing Your Video Preview Format Regardless of which method you choose, either should get you to the same core sequence settings window. You should see Sequence Settings at the very top of the menu like this: To do so, simply navigate to the top of the program window and locate the Sequence dropdown menu. The second method is just as easy as the first but will only be helpful if the sequence is your main active edit sequence in your timeline window (otherwise you will be modifying properties for another sequence, yikes!). This above method is helpful when you have a lot of sequences, and you do not have the sequence in question active in your timeline window. From there you should see a window pop up like this: The first is to navigate to any sequence in your project that you wish to inspect or modify and simply right click on it. Now, there are two ways in which you can easily call up the “Sequence Settings” window. If not, you can do so now so that you can better follow along, or if not, then you can follow along with our article and refer back to it later when you are seeking to modify your sequence settings. We’re going to assume that you already have a project started, and an active sequence open in your timeline.
