Why is that FCE, which is more advanced--has to render when iMovie doesn't have to? Is it because I have a setting in FCE wrong? I just can't believe that a simple program like iMovie (Even Pinnacle Studio doesn't render) doesn't have to render stuff when editing, only when you export your final project. Am I doing something wrong? If not, how do people edit video like thaT?

Whenever I'm in FCP it doesn't require it, nor does iMovie like you said, not even Windows Movie Maker.   Do you know where I could go to fix it?
