# Rendering Shots

When you have finished grading the imagery from the filesystem, you can render to the local storage array, or write back to the Stone FS via Wiretap.

NoteAudio tracks that were imported through the Wiretap server cannot be rendered back to Wiretap.

If working with soft-imported clips, you must also set up the directory structure on the SAN or the NAS in such a way that Lustre can recognize it. See Setting Up the Lustre Wiretap Project. You render clips from a local storage the same way as you would for any other clip. See About Rendering in Lustre.

Rendering clips back to Wiretap requires that the render destination be specified in the project setup. See Setting Up the Lustre Wiretap Project. The render destination you specify in the project setup will determine the location of the reel in which the rendered clip will be placed. See Rendering with Wiretap.

NoteThe clip’s long tape name metadata is also rendered back through Wiretap.

You can use the Render menus to render your work. You can render selected shots, all shots in a cut, a specific layer in the Timeline, or the flattened result of a multi-layer timeline. To prepare for rendering, do the following.

Rendering workflow:

1. Specify the layer to be rendered.
2. Set the resolution of the render files.
3. Set resize options, as needed.
4. Specify the destination for the render files.
5. Specify the output file format (if different than the original footage).
6. (Optional) Change the output colour space or specify an output LUT.
7. Set other options such as timecode burn-in and rendering with a viewing LUT.
