  Big, huge, advantage FCP has over PPro for long-form effects versioning. Unless I’m mistaken.

  Someone please correct me, as I’m trying so hard to move off FCP and ignore FCPX.

  Just started a big versioning project. 15 versions, each about 20-30 minutes. Almost all greenscreen (whew). A lot of overlap of segments. Mix n’ match.

  So,in FCP, I can create the segments as discrete sequences, rendering (final output quality) as I go. These sequences then go into the version sequences as rendered components. If there’s a revision to any “source” sequence, the re-renders flow to all the versions, without need to re-render each version.

  I just tested this workflow in PPro, and of course, it wants to render a “nested sequence”, even if that sequence was previously rendered on it’s own. So the above method fails. Am I missing an alternative PPro approach? (like “using previews” on an export)

  Obviously there is massive rendering involved in this project, and not being able to use a FCP approach would add an unthinkable extra amount of time.

  PS – I’m clueless as to how FCPX would handle this scenario.
