Zeddock,
Rendering time is a function of how sophisticated you want to get with your
effects and how long of a period of time you want them to occur over. The most
complex effect I've done so far involved scaling one video clip down to about
quarter size, putting a blue colored box around it, and then placing it on top
of another video clip in the upper right corner of the screen (kind of like
those news reports you see on TV all the time). Rendering this effect at 60
fields per second was a chore for my 25MHz 040 — I calculated it took almost
14 minutes real-time for every second of running video rendered! More
tradition simplistic effects like fades and wipes are much faster, but I don't
have any specific time ratios to report.
So, is that a serious delay? If the show is going on the air in the next 15
minutes, you've got a problem <grin>!
