How do you render?

[LegendKB]

[Jak0bo]

I HAF Two REALLY GOOD QUESTIONs for beginners. ok first. how do you make it so you can put the text over a video clip? and what screen recorder are you using?

[trscheit]

To put the text over a video put the video under the text in the timeline.

[tuttifrutti123450]

How would I create a text box over a video background?

[RPGDUDES]

can u get that writing on mac at 0:02

[Jpach33]

yeah. use livetype. it comes with fce

[cameraking360]

Why do I have to always render whenever I change anything?

[QuicklyPlugged]

Thats just the way Final Cut programs work. Without rendering there would be no visual playback....

[AntiPirateSquad]

@QuicklyPlugged

So there's no way of auditioning a video filter? you have to render the selection ...say a ten minute to three hour wait, just to decide, no, you don't want that one? I don't get it....but I should read the manual before moaning I suppose?

There must be the ability to playback before you render otherwise you're building a film blind and unbeknown as to how it's going to turn out? I find that primitive since video editing is ALL about the 'editing' isn't it?

[jaxxtheemaxx]

@QuicklyPlugged But how come you don't need to render it in this video?

[AntiPirateSquad]

@cameraking360 here here!

[sketchcomedyfilms]
