miroINSTANT Video is a Pinnacle Systems timeline playback module for Adobe Premiere that greatly enhances the production process by reducing rendering time and disk space usage. However, to truly understand the benefits of miroINSTANT Video, it is important to first understand how the rendering process works without it.
Make Movie - Surrender to render!
After assembling a project on the timeline in Adobe Premiere, the work must be "rendered" or saved. This is done using the "Make Movie" menu command. Make Movie takes the entire project (made up of .avi files, transitions and titles) and saves them together, frame by frame, as a new single .avi file (please see figure below). Besides being painfully slow, often taking hours to render a project, this poses three major problems:
There is a 2GByte .avi file size limit in Windows. Since Make Movie saves each project as one large .avi file, this would mean that the entire project could only be 2Gbyte in size. With a compression ratio of 2.5:1(optimal), this limit would be reached in about 6 minutes!
Make Movie rendering re-creates the .avi files that are already taking up precious storage space, thus wasting up to 50% of your hard disk space.
Finally, if changes are ever made to the "rendered" .avi file, even very minor ones, the entire project must be re-saved and re-rendered – taking as much time and disk space as the first time.
miroINSTANT Video - The Intelligent Rendering Solution
Pinnacle Systems cleverly overcomes these difficulties with miroINSTANT Video. Instead of saving the project on the time line as one large file, it saves each element as a separate file (please see figure below). Instant Video then creates a project file that will play back the entire project smoothly as a sequence of these files. With this approach, miroINSTANT Video provides 3 major benefits:
- Beyond the 2GB Barrier -
With independent rendering of each piece of the project, as long as each element in your project (items A, B, C, & D in the figure below) is not larger than 2GByte, Instant Video can assemble a movie of almost any length. *
- Storage Space Times Two -
Once a project element is rendered once, it will never be rendered again unless a change is applied directly to it. This includes .avi files you captured onto your hard drive. Since they are not saved twice, like they are with Make Movie, you are essentially freeing up 50% of your hard disk space.
- Stay Interactive and Creative
–miroINSTANT Video will only render the new or changed elements you add to your project - such as transitions and titles. If you change an effect at the end of a one-hour project, only that effect will be re-rendered. You can view your change in just seconds instead of hours. Even items that have to be rendered are finished up to 40% faster with Pinnacle Systems special hardware acceleration.
See What You Think
By reducing rendering times and disk space, Instant Video allows you to be more creative with your project. Instead of "punishing" you for making changes, it encourages you to experiment with different effects until your project is how you want it to be. Thanks to creative engineering, Pinnacle Systems sets you free to "See What You Think"!
* Adobe Premiere 4.2 is limited to a 1 hour project. Adobe Premiere 5.0 can create a 3 hour project
