Chapter 5:

Producing Your Video

When you are done creating your movie, it is time to produce it. Producing a 
movie simply means compiling (or rendering) the separate elements it contains 
into a playable video file. As your video production may be destined for many 
different uses, CyberLink PowerDirector has several options suited for all your 
production requirements.

Viewing SVRT Information

SVRT (Smart Video Rendering Technology) is a proprietary rendering technology 
from CyberLink that recognizes which portions of a movie clip were modified (and 
therefore require rendering during production), and which portions of a movie 
clip were not changed (and thus can be skipped over during the rendering 
process). By viewing SVRT information, you can simulate the production process.

on page 105.
The colors that appear in the SVRT track indicate how CyberLink PowerDirector 
uses SVRT for the related clip (or clip portion).

Produce Window

When you click the 

Produce

 button, CyberLink PowerDirector enters the produce 

window. Here you can compile your movie into a file that is ready for a variety of 
uses, including e-mailing to friends, uploading to YouTube or for burning to disc at 
a later date.

Note: 

if you want to burn your current movie production to a disc right away, go 

directly to the 

Create Disc

 module. In the 

Create Disc 

module you can create a disc 

menu, produce your movie, and then burn it to disc, all in a few simple steps.
