How to Use the Real-Time Effects Pop-Up Menu in Final Cut Pro 5

Video Transcript

Hi! This is CJ South representing expertvillage.com, in this clip I’m just going to finish up talking about the real time effects pop-up menu. Alright next we have your scrub high quality, scrubbing is when you click and hold your tool and then you just go back and forth, that’s called scrubbing going back and forth on the clips. Now if you just wanted to speed up the process you can take off scrub high quality so now you’re scrubbing at a less of a quality your image quality, it’s really up to you, I usually keep it on. Now below that is your playback video quality and this is the quality that you see in your canvas when you play it back and you can change that between dynamic high, medium and low, the default is dynamic and dynamic will basically read your machine and will play it in a high, medium or low accordingly depending on what the render status is, how many effects are applied to a layer and how quickly it thinks it can play it. Well you’re more than welcome to just set high, medium or low but I personally use dynamic, usually if you just want to work really fast you’ll just set it to low. Below that you now have playback frame rate, the frame rate is basically just that you know you’re watching it by 30 frames per second so by turning the frame rate down you’re playing less frames, so instead of watching it at 30 frames per second if it’s at half you’ll basically be viewing the video playing at 15 frames per second so you can get the gist of what you’re watching you’re just not watching it in actually you know fullness, so you’re missing out in a few frames, dynamic we’ll just automatically adjust that for you, again I prefer just to leave it dynamic and that is why when you’re playing over these unrendered clips that’s why it skips frames because the dynamic for frame rate is working for you setting it to half or quarter. Below that is multi clip playback, if you’re using multi clips you’ll want to have that checked, we’re not going to talk about multi clips right now we’ll just keep it in mind we’ll come back to it later on. Down at the bottom here you have record to take and when you’re exporting and you’re going to record to tape you set up your camera, you will put in your tape and then basically while the timeline is playing you’ll hit record on the camera, that’s what record to tape it. So if you use, you can switch between these two settings you can use playback settings or full quality, if you use playback settings whatever these settings are for your playback that’s how it will be recorded onto your tape, now full quality is no matter what these settings are when you record to tape it will playback at full quality no matter what, so I always keep that at full quality because there’s literally no point I can’t even think of a point of recording to a tape with crappie settings, that just don’t make any sense to me unless you’re just sending it out to have someone preview it but just always keep it on full quality that’s my suggestion. So again it’s just kind of all how you want to work, if you want to work faster you put the quality for your playback down and you can go through everything faster and then at the end you can bring it all back up and render it and watch it in fulltime, if you have a more powerful machine you can handle it all at high playback quality.
