You can choose ffmpeg as the File Format \index{file format} and a choice of various codecs associated with that. A good choice is the default of mpeg which can usually be quite fast. In addition, to modify values for that codec, click on the wrench icon. -We can use the \textit{Proxy 1:1} in two ways: setting "1" as \textit{Scale factor}, or check the \textit{Rescaled to project size (FFMPEG only)} button. In this mode we don't have scaling, i.e. downsize, but only variations of the codec parameters that allow to maintain the original resolution. The advantage is that you can use filters that require the original size to work well. Please note that if we set any scaling, by activating the \textit{Rescaled to project size (FFMPEG only)} button we automatically lose scaling and enter Proxy 1:1 mode. +We can use the \textit{Proxy 1:1} in two ways: setting "1" as \textit{Scale factor}, or check the \textit{Rescaled to project size (FFMPEG only)} button.

Please note that if we set any scaling, by activating the \textit{Rescaled to project size (FFMPEG only)} button we automatically lose scaling and enter Proxy 1:1 mode. The size of your video is scaled down of the \textit{Scale factor} but, then, it is rescaled up to the project format. For example, your format project is $1920x1080$ and Proxy's Scale factor is $\frac{1}{4}$, then your videos will be scaled down to $480x270$ and then up-scaled to $1920x1080$. For an old computer, this option is not recommended. When you have completed your choices, just click OK, and then the video tracks will be rendered. This may take some time, but previous proxy renders will be reused. diff --git a/parts/Developer.tex b/parts/Developer.tex index 4b4aed4..43a43cd 100644 --- a/parts/Developer.tex +++ b/parts/Developer.tex @@ -660,7 +660,7 @@ So why use a Profiler?
