Creative Effects > Compositor and Optics >
Processing Your Clips

When you have finished setting front clip attributes, setting the camera in the scene, and animating Compositor channels, you are ready to process and render a result.

To render a clip in the Compositor:

1. Select either Progressive or Interlaced from the Rendering box.

   If you select Progressive, the Compositor combines the two fields and renders each frame. If you select Interlaced, the Compositor renders both fields separately. Use the Interlaced option if the two fields in the image are not properly aligned.

2. Select either Blend or Add from the Blending box.

   The Blend option uses both the front and back luminance curves of the matte clip. The Add option uses only the front luminance curve. Select Add to eliminate the black fringe created when using a front clip with a black background.

3. From the View box, select Result.
4. Click Process.

   The generated clip appears on the destination reel.

5. Click Exit.
