Transitions and effects that require rendering, along with any leader and trailer elements,
are rendered automatically prior to output. A dialog shows you the rendering progress
of your sequence or clip. You can also choose to output unrendered real-time effects at
a lower quality, saving time by avoiding rendering. Options for choosing the quality of
rendered effects can be set in the Render Control tab of the Sequence Settings, and in
the Real-Time (RT) pop-up menu in the Timeline. For more information on setting these
options, see
