Okay, before I go into specifics and scare anyone away, I'm mostly asking for a way to render specific portions of a 1 hour, 38 min video, instead of rendering the entire file all at once.
My situation: I have an external 500GB drive with a 1 hour, 38 minute quicktime file on it, including 4 audio tracks. It is uncompressed 10-bit video (720 x 486), digitized professionally from a digibeta master. I imported it into FCP in a timeline and for some reason it needed to be rendered. So it has been rendering for over 11 hours now, and is only at 5% (it does seem to be making some progress, at least, because last night it was at 2%). I'm using Firewire 800.
Does anyone know of a way to get the uncompressed frame captures I need (for a DVD cover) without rendering the entire 1 hour, 38 minute film?? I've been given the approximate timecodes I need for each frame capture.
I'm asking because this is an extremely time-sensitive project, and it looks like it would take several days of uninterrupted rendering the way I'm doing it now.
Thanks for any help!
