Does the playback video quality setting affect the renders or final output?
I’ve been playing with a few settings recently in an attempt to get better performance, and I noticed that when I set my playback video quality on Medium rather than High or Dynamic, clips that usually have an orange render-indicator (whilst using unlimited RT) go back to being green. (Usually, after a few iterations of CC-3 way and/or desaturate highlights filters, etc., they have the orange render-indicator.)
What I’m wondering is, will having the playback setting at a lower quality affect the renders or final output?
(output method: export self contained quicktime file at “current setting”)My settings:
iMac quad-core. Snow Leopard 10.6.7. FCP 7.0.3. G-Raid 6TB via FW800.
All footage transcoded to ProRes LT. 1080p. 23.976fps -

Changing realtime settings only affects playback. The sequence settings impact the output of a self contained QT export, as the resulting file will be identical to the seq. settings if you leave “current settings” selected.
