Chapter 5:
Producing Your Video
When you are done creating your movie, it is time to produce it. Producing a
movie simply means compiling (or rendering) the separate elements it contains
into a playable video file. As your video production may be destined for many
different uses, CyberLink PowerDirector has several options suited for all your
production requirements.
Viewing SVRT Information
SVRT (Smart Video Rendering Technology) is a proprietary rendering technology
from CyberLink that recognizes which portions of a movie clip were modified (and
therefore require rendering during production), and which portions of a movie
clip were not changed (and thus can be skipped over during the rendering
process). By viewing SVRT information, you can simulate the production process.
To view how CyberLink PowerDirector uses SVRT in your current project, click
> View > SVRT Information . For more information, see "SVRT: When Can I Use it?"
on page 105.
The colors that appear in the SVRT track indicate how CyberLink PowerDirector
uses SVRT for the related clip (or clip portion).
•
Green : no rendering is required during production.
•
Blue : only video rendering is required.
•
Yellow : only audio rendering is required.
•
Red : both audio and video rendering are required.
Produce Window
When you click the Produce button, CyberLink PowerDirector enters the produce
window. Here you can compile your movie into a file that is ready for a variety of
uses, including e-mailing to friends, uploading to YouTube or for burning to disc at
a later date.
Note:
if you want to burn your current movie production to a disc right away, go
directly to the
Create Disc
module. In the
Create Disc
module you can create a disc
menu, produce your movie, and then burn it to disc, all in a few simple steps.
