Cassie Owners... Can't Post

I got a question for Cassie owners. Lets say I taped a 30 minute dance show on SVHS. I want to edit with the Cassie. I will use an opening title and lower 3rd titles that are keyed over the video for each of the different acts. Of course original audio and added enhanced audio will follow along with the video. There will be a 2 second dissolve that goes between the different acts. There are 3 acts. At the end we dissolve to closing title screen then fade to black taking audio with it.
I will output this completed project to SVHS master.
Now, can anyone tell me how long it will take to actually edit this assuming all the graphics were done before hand. What I'm looking for is render time in a actual example. Any Ideas?
Thanks, Mike B.

30 min, no wait 2 hrs, no 65 min, etc
There are so many variables to your question. What length of time do you want the lower 3rd titles. I think you meant through each act. If so then you have to render the whole scene. How long? Depends on the size of the titles?
Why don't you try everything you want to do for one act and multiply the time by 3. This will give you an avg.
When you place your titles use the RANGE button for 5 frames then you get an idea for correct placement without waiting forever for the title to get done rendering. Once you like it, then change the RANGE to cover the whole scene.
If your doing a lot of this type of video, get a seperate titler to save time in the rendering process. Use the right tool for the right job.
It's like taking a vacation, a car will allow you to stop along the way and see many great things but a plane will allow you to get to your destination faster allowing you more time at your destination spot. Which works better for you?
See Ya,
