Slowly Going Insane

After the basic film editing is complete, the next step is to send the movie on to the composer/audio mixer. This requires a process called rendering. This process changes a video editing file into a final video output (such as DVD). It seems like a fairly straightforward process, but it is riddled with problems: what format file do you need? how large can the file be? what kind of video output? what kind of audio? stero or mono? how many pixels? The requirements go on and on. All these things are slowly driving me insane.

At some point, I'll have a good file that fits on a flashdrive and can be used on Mac software, the kind the composer uses. Hopefully that will happen soon!
