Using the ExpertRender Command
Use the following procedure when there are no colored real-time playback information bars displayed in the timecode track of the Timeline. You generally use this method to render a sequence so that it will play back successfully for output.
For information on using the ExpertRender command when colored real-time playback information bars appear in the Timeline following a real-time playback attempt, see Using the ExpertRender Command After a Real-Time Playback Attempt.
To render effects using the ExpertRender command:
1.  Select all tracks in the Timeline that contain effects you want ExpertRender to analyze.
2.  Do one of the following:
  To render at position, move the position indicator to the effects in the Timeline.
  To render between IN and OUT points, mark IN and OUT points around the effects.
3.  Select Clip > ExpertRender at Position or Clip > ExpertRender In/Out.
ExpertRender analyzes the selected effects and highlights the effects that require rendering in the Timeline.
The Expert Render dialog box opens and indicates how many of the effects submitted to ExpertRender require rendering.
4.  Click the Drive button, and select a drive on which to store the rendered effects.
The Effect Source Drive is the drive where the media for the outgoing shot of the first transition resides.
5.  Do one of the following:
  Click Cancel.
The Avid editing application removes all ExpertRender highlighting and cancels the ExpertRender process without rendering any effects.
  Click Modify Selection.
The effects identified for rendering remain highlighted, and you can modify the set of effects to render. For more information, see Modifying ExpertRender Results.
  Click OK.
The Avid editing application renders the highlighted effects.
  If the drive is near capacity, a message box opens and warns you that there might not be enough space to store the rendered effect. You can click Stop to stop the rendering process and return to the Expert Render dialog box, and then select another drive before continuing. Alternatively, you can click Continue to attempt to render the effects anyway, in case there might be enough space on the drive.
  To display the estimated processing time during rendering, press the T key on the keyboard. Press the T key again to clear the display. Press the P key to view percent rendered.
