of a clip’s image that may stray outside of the broadcast legal range.
razor blade edit An edit in which a single clip is cut into two clips.
raw data Uncompressed data.
real-time effects Effects that can be applied to clips in an edited sequence and played
back in real time, without requiring rendering first. In Final Cut Pro, the real-time effects
architecture is known as RT Extreme.
recapture To capture a clip’s media file again. Usually done to eliminate unused
material in order to capture only the media files necessary to create your finished
program at full resolution.
record monitor In a linear editing suite, a monitor that displays the edited master tape.
A record monitor corresponds to the Canvas in Final Cut Pro.
redigitize To digitize clips again. Also referred to as recapturing.
reel Identifies the source tape from which a clip was captured. You specify a clip’s reel
number in the Logging tab of the Log and Capture window. This is typically entered
when logging, but you can also change it in the Browser or Item Properties window.
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 which aligns the frame at the
playhead of the Viewer clip to the frame at the playhead of 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 a 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. See also timecode.
resize edit An edit in which the duration of a clip in the Timeline is changed by
moving its In or Out point.
