-- Posted by ElfQrin at 7:24 pm on June 25, 2009 How come when you use Final Cut Express on my Mac you have to render every single time I move a clip, cut it, apply a transition, etc. Rendering it takes for ever. 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? -- Posted by Cyanotype at 7:26 pm on June 25, 2009 You might have a setting issue. Whenever I'm in FCP it doesn't require it, nor does iMovie like you said, not even Windows Movie Maker. -- Posted by ElfQrin at 5:50 pm on June 27, 2009 Quote: from Midnight Lights at 10:26 pm on June 25, 2009 You might have a setting issue.

FCE -> Easy Setup I just looked it up, I don't actually know if it helps.
