reel Identifies the source tape from which a clip was captured or the volume (folder)
from which file-based media was transferred. You specify a clip’s reel name or number
in the Logging tab of the Log and Capture window or in the Logging area of the Log and
Transfer window. A reel name or number is typically entered when logging, but you can
also change it in the Browser or the Item Properties window. In most file-based workflows,
Final Cut Pro uses the name of the source media folder as the reel name for the clips and
media files ingested from that folder.
render To process video and audio with any applied filters or transitions, and store the
result on disk as a render file. Effects that aren’t real time must be rendered to play back
properly. Once rendered, your sequence can be played in real time.
render files Files that Final Cut Pro generates when you render transitions and effects.
Render files are saved to the specified scratch disk.
render status bars Two slim horizontal bars, at the top of the Timeline, that indicate
which parts of the sequence need to be rendered. The top bar is for video and the bottom
for audio. Different colors indicate the render or real-time playback status of a given
section of the Timeline.
replace edit A specialized form of overwrite edit that aligns the frame at the playhead
position in the Viewer clip to the frame at the playhead position in the sequence clip,
replacing only the content of the sequence clip, even if no In or Out points are set. This
is useful for replacing clips based on matching a common visual event in the frame, such
as a slate closing or an actor’s movement.
reset timecode break A break that results in a tape’s timecode being reset to 00:00:00:00.

resize edit An edit in which the duration of a clip in the Timeline is changed by moving
its In or Out point.
Resize pointer A cross-shaped pointer with small arrows pointing left and right that
indicate the directions in which an edit point can be moved. The Resize pointer appears
when you move the pointer to the boundary of a clip item or transition in the Timeline.
reverse shot A typical example of a reverse shot is a cut to the second person in a
conversation; for example, an interviewer asking the next question after the interviewee
has finished speaking.
RGB Abbreviation for Red, Green, Blue. A color space commonly used on computers, in
which each color is described by the strength of its red, green, and blue components.
This color space directly translates to the red, green, and blue phosphors used in computer
displays. The RGB color space has a very large gamut, meaning it can reproduce a very
wide range of colors. This range is typically larger than the range that can be reproduced
for broadcast.
