It's a wonderful sight that I haven't seen for a long time.
Now, if my camera used that codec.

thanks, couldn't see it on my laptop....
nice to know.
hang on, just had another look and it says xavc s? where is the xavc s mxf template?
i was under the impression that it was only intra that smart rendered?
i'm just about to start using xavc (or maybe s if it smart renders?) on my usual hdv tl's, so was thinking i might as well stay with 1440 even if i can't use vlc to view the files with it squishing them.

ushere asked,
"Which codec?"
Sony XAVC / XAVC S (*.mxf, *.mp4)
I used one of the Intra options. I renamed it to show that I was using 1920x1080.
Edit: I replaced the screenshot to avoid confusion.
Here are the file properties for each step:

Only XAVC Intra does smart render, XAVC-S Long GOP doesn't or let's say not yet.

Now if only XDCAM EX would smart render again.

I prefer XAVC-S would smart render; that is the format recorded by the FDR-AX100.

I just searched the SONY knowledgebase on this so I'm pretty sure the answer is no - but thought I'd ask: I am re-rendering a 1hr:25mn SONY AVC .mp4 because I screwed up one name in the last card of the end credits. Could I have taken the original rendered file, created a new project in VP13, changed the last credit via edit and then re-rendered to the same format in less time using Smart Render? (I know - [I]smart[/I] would have been to check my end credits mo' better in the first place...)

If the render template had "Intra" in the name, probably. Otherwise, likely not.

Smart rendering has become a big deal to me. I still shoot in HDV and it is SO COOL to be able to render a big project overnight and then never have to do an overnight render again on that project, even though I invariably find little things that need fixing or tweaking. Makes me happy the same way that having a "TSA Pre" pass does when I go to the airport. I hate long lines.
