Q: Confusion about rendering sources and output
My overall concern is about getting the highest quality render from Compressor for my project. (I’m assuming using the original source files would result in the highest quality render).
That being said: While editing in the timeline, I see FCP X renders files in the background as I work. I assume these files are only used for viewing in the Viewer. Is this correct?
When I send the file to Compressor using the FCP X menu shortcut, and select a Compressor Preset Setting such as “Apple Devices”, will Compressor re-render (transcode?) the video using my original source files or use the files FPC X had been rendered as I was working? If not, how can I arrange this?
Mac Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)
