Optimizing Extruded Effects

The 3D Extrusion shape is an especially memory-intensive feature. Try using the following

techniques to speed up your workflow and optimize the effect:

• Use a lower Resolution and/or Draft Quality mode when creating the effect.

• Work in hardware OpenGL mode—see “The OpenGL Interactors” on page 52.

• Set up a 3D Extrusion shape to create 3D text using Text media applied to a 3D Plane

shape. When you complete the effect, click the Shape icon to change the track from a

3D Plane to a 3D Extrusion shape. Animate additional parameters using the 3D

Extrusion tabs in the Controls window. Also, turn off any shadow or border parameters

in the Text window. If you do not, these parameters are extruded which can distort the

text.

• To use a 3D Extrusion shape to animate a spline object, spline primitive, or EPS file, set

up the effect using the 3D Plane shape. When you finish your animation, click the Shape

menu to change the track from a 3D Plane to a 3D Extrusion shape. Animate additional

parameters using the 3D Extrusion tabs in the Controls window.

• When you extrude a track, the four faces are assigned the default Plastic material. The

color you select is assigned to the Front Face using Constant interpolation. The other

three faces (Extrusion, Bevel and Back) use the default gray color for the Plastic

material. To use the color that you selected on all faces, simply set the Face Count menu

to 1. If you applied a texture to the face of the text or spline, such as a video clip, that

texture is placed on the front face of the newly extruded object. You can then apply that

texture to the other surfaces.

• Work in Wireframe mode by clicking the Wireframe button at the bottom of the

Controls window. Provides a quick preview of where the extrusions fall in relation to

each other. For example, when animating the camera and the object's position, you do

not need to see color, textures or filters—see “The Controls Window” on page 63 for

more information on Wireframe mode.

• Select fonts wisely, keeping in mind that curves take longer to calculate than straight

lines. If you need a cursive or Asian font, you may want to build the effect with a faster

font like Arial or Helvetica, and then change the font for the final output.

• Use the Force Update with Option Key preference to speed your ability to navigate in

the timeline. Avid FX will only calculate the frames under the position indicator when it

stops moving. If you want to see how the effect progresses as you drag the position

indicator, press the Option key.

• Open the 3D Extrusion track in a Preview window to speed previews.

• Turn off track visibility for tracks you do not need to see, including filters, to speed

previews.
