Match sequence settings to clip settings should avoid rendering, right?

I drag my media to my timeline and that helpful pop-up stops and asks to match the sequence settings to the clip settings. I say yes, and because the two now match perfectly, this should eliminate the need to render --- right??


I've tried to match the squence before dropping in my media, but can't seem to find the right settings myself.

I can't waste time rendering. Please, any help on this is greatly appreciated!

H.264 isn't a codec that allows for any realtime anything. It's not one that FCP works with well at all. You need to convert that footage to ProRes NTSC, then bring it into the project.


Or...


Use Adobe Premiere Pro that can deal with this natively.
