View Full Version : Render only necessary frames for Slow Motion

Hello!

We are working on an animation and we have finished our animatic. Most of the animation was rendered at 60 fps (desired playback speed is 30 fps) to be able to slow down the animation.
The edit was done in Premiere and we have parts where we even slowed down the animation to a playback speed of 35% (what would mean we will have to render out even more then 60 fps to get a clean playback at 30 fps)
Other parts are at 250% playback speed.

My question is: is there any way to render out only the frames necessary? We thought about it this way: Premiere should know what frame it is using at a specific point in time even when the sequence stretched. Is there a way to tell MAX what to render and what is not needed for the edit?

It would be really great if someone could help us out. Render 120fps for a 60 second animation @ 1080p would be a bad way to go :)

Sorry for my english and thank you all,
Boris

Go to the render scene use the toolbar or (f10) then put the dot in frames then chose the frames you want to render. or you can choose the ranges set the number from start and end from example say "60 frames to 120 frames" then click render, Once you have it done save it out as an Jpegs or AVI then load it into premiere You cannot edit in max.

You can use the ram player but max is not really an editing program!

If your going to save them as a Jpeg make sure you create a new folder otherwise your desktop will get filled up with Jpegs
