SmartRender Technology

Speed is usually one of the primary concerns of users when editing videos. While working on a video project, usually, you will want to preview the project as you edit, and it can be quite discouraging if you have to wait a long time to see the results of your work.

Corel VideoStudio’s SmartRender feature makes previewing and creating movies a lot faster. When you preview your video project for the first time, VideoStudio ‘renders’ the project by creating a temporary preview file on your hard drive which combines the video, image, and audio clips with the special effects which you applied to them. The SmartRender feature detects any changes in your project and if there are no changes, instantly plays back the preview file. If there are changes (for instance, when titles, video filters or transition effects have been added), it renders out only the edited portions, making render times much shorter and faster.

The SmartRender feature also skips re-rendering when the properties of the captured video are consistent with the project settings. It only renders your project the first time you inserted your captured video clips. When you add more captured video clips, VideoStudio directly plays back the project without rendering.

In addition to previewing your video files, Corel VideoStudio gives you an option to instantly preview your project without creating temporary files. With the Instant Playback option, you can play the entire project without having to wait then preview it immediately.
