1. Re: Workflow With Multiple Sequences in PP CS4
Kona Bob Oct 20, 2009 11:30 PM (in response to R-Cole)What you are describing is the "nesting " of multiple sequences onto a single timeline- which is a perfectly legitimate workflow.
You should keep in mind that when you "render" a timeline, as you are describing in your post, you are only rendering a preview to view when you play the timeline. This type of "render" does not actually effect anything on the timeline. It is not the same as an "export render", where the timeline is actually rendered into a new file with all of the effects/transitions, etc. baked in. Also, an export render does not change anything on the original timeline, it simply produces a new, continuous movie file.
When you nest a sequence on a new timeline, it shows up as not rendered because no preview render has been done yet for that particular timeline.
It is not necessary to do any preview renders at all in order to nest and export to Encore. If you are satisfied that each sequence is finished & locked, you can place them all on the master timeline, double check the transition b/t each sequence to be certain they are smooth, and just send the whole thing to Encore. Whatever renders are needed for that export will be done automatically.

R-Cole Oct 20, 2009 11:56 PM (in response to Kona Bob)Thanks for the reply.
So the render is for my benefit and won't affect the export (via Dynamic Link) to Encore? Even though I see red and yellow bars above the nested sequences I can link to Encore with it and the image quality is the same as if I rendered it for preview and watched it in the PP monitor? Does the same apply to the audio?
