[MacDV] Re: Exporting sequences from FCP 6

[Conlon Brett]

Hi sb,

Just to clarify, if there are no red lines above the timeline then  
there's nothing needing rendering, right?

This job only used very simple edits and fades. The only time I saw  
the need to render (the red lines appeared) was when I added text  
elements and I always rendered them to see how the final edit looked.

I'm not sure what you mean by mixing down the audio? Could you please  
clarify?

Many thanks,

Coj
