Maximizing media file performance for multiple stream, real-time playback
Final Cut Pro automatically captures and writes media files to maximize the number of
simultaneous streams and real-time effects during playback.
For more information about how Final Cut Pro optimizes media files, see “ Maximizing
Media File Performance for Multiple Stream, Real-Time Playback ” on page 94.
Edit to Tape and Print to Video
In some instances, Edit to Tape and Print to Video used to require re-rendering of
material in the Timeline prior to output. In Final Cut Pro HD, re-rendering is no longer
necessary, significantly reducing rendering time before output.
Note: Built-in countdowns, slates, color bars, and tone still require rendering before output.
Automatic recording with Print to Video
When printing to videotape, Final Cut Pro can automatically trigger recording on
FireWire camcorders and decks.
For more information, see “ Edit to Tape and Print to Video ” on page 93.
