RT settings

I'm editing an interview I shot with my iPhone which comes in as 1280 x 720 29.97fps H.264

I'm putting in some still images over the top and some other minor effects. Every time I do I got to render and the render time is killing me and my workflow.

It's been several years since I was editing, I'm wondering what settings can I use to get either RT editing or at least something that doesn't take several minutes to render less than a minute of footage.

Right now I am using the default Offline RT JPEG 29.97. I don't know what else to use.

Render time is killing me.

Convert everything to ProRes.

EDIT: Sure, Jeff.

Batch-process all your source material to ProRes 422 (LT) before editing.

Edit: Jinx, Strypes. You owe me a coke.

Cool. I knew that I wouldn't find that in the manual. I'm too entrenched and almost done with the project, but there will be more to come so thanks.

Is ProRes 422 a less compressed format? Will I out put the final project from that?

>Is ProRes 422 a less compressed format?

Yes.

Yes.

You need to change the sequence frame size and format to ProRes 720p after you convert the footage. The frame size may go a little wonky, but that is because offline RT is 320x240. When that happens, select everything hit "command option V" and remove scale and distort. You may have to redo keyframes.
