AVID – Sequence Timeline High Quality Rendering Settings

Make sure your timeline is set to full Green or even Full Green 10 bit if you are connected to a Kona card or AVID Nitris

Go to your project window and click on the Settings tab.


Then choose the Render Settings by double clicking on it

For high quality broadcast rendering make sure you are set to Advanced (Polyphase)


Choose the other renders as either "Both Fields"
"Interpolated Field" or "VTR Style"

See explanation below. You might want to do a test on a couple of different settings to see which looks best. They may look about the same. Do not use "Duplicated Fields"

• default - throws one field away –
  
• low quality –
  
• Offline – not for broadcast
  
• does not need rendering
  
  Both Fields –
  
• duplicated fields
  
• good for progressive 24fps
