Rendering at max bit depth?

[deloid]

This pertains to analog to dig capture (32 bit vista) using adcv 300...Per the help for settings:
In selecting max bit depth under the video rendering option one gets "Allows Adobe Premiere Elements to use up to 32‑bit processing, even if the project uses a lower bit depth. Selecting this option increases precision but decreases performance."
I don't know if this means performance after capture or performance during the capture. Better precision in the final file?
Please help...I called support twice but they didn't understand the first call and the second call was disconnected in the middle of describing the question again.

Thanks

In my not so humble opinion, those distinctions are too fine to even bother trying to figure out, d.

You will likely not see any noticeable decrease in performance or increased precision. The differences are that minute.

Though, if it matters, I'd expect that the performance they refer to is the efficiency of the file format you're editing.

I tried that setting many versions ago. I didn't see any improvement in quality of video, but I had a lot of crashes with it so I gave up on it.

It won't affect captures. It's not about file content, but about using higher precision math when doing calculations involving effects and transitions.
