1. Re: Render items prior to a main render
Szalam Mar 31, 2014 9:53 AM (in response to rsukhram@tgioa.com)Prerendering is a very common part of the workflow for many people.
You should also look into things like proxies.
The help files should help with both of these things.

2. Re: Render items prior to a main render
bogiesan Mar 31, 2014 10:00 AM (in response to Szalam)I learned how to prerender back in the olden days. Any layers (or groups of layers) that I knew would not change (at least not significantly) were always prerendered as either full rez movies or as low rez (what we called proxies back then before proxies were conveniently automated). One example would be chromakey foregrounds rendered out as movie with alpha. Saves an incredible amount of processing time.

3. Re: Render items prior to a main render
rsukhram@tgioa.com Mar 31, 2014 10:37 AM (in response to Szalam)will do. thanks.
I was also wondering about commonly used assets. Would you use one asset file and resize in the composition or would you make a second asset file already resize and then use that on a composition. Example would be a logo splash initially created at 1080 but is needed now for a lo-res reason. Would you use the 1080 in your lo-res composition or would you recreate the 1080 to a lo res and use that on the composition.
thanks

I presume you're talking about creating a Standard-Definition version, using High-Definition footage. Don't worry about a render time hit with that workflow -- it's fine.
Now, If you were using 4K footage in an SD comp over and over again, doing such a thing might be helpful. Downscaling is more for things like a 20,000 x 20,000 still in an SD comp, and you have no plans to use the Ken-Burns-style zoom-in treatment. It's helpful in that instance.
