Am still having major issues trying to complete a render of a 1080i 24p timeline (shot using V1U). I "think" the issue may be that I did not have "quantize to frames" selected when starting editing thus there are many events that drift a half-frame or so. I tried to fix them all but this is a pretty big show with hundreds of individual events. I am getting consistent hangs and crashes when rendering.

My question is - if I am able to successfully render this out using the Cineform intermediate HDV 1080 template - can I turn around and print that to tape to the V1U? I am assuming it will need to be re-rendered again to 1080i M2T - if so, how would that look (losing a generation and going from M2T to AVI to M2T)?

Thanks in advance.
