Rendering a sequence with multiple tracks: What “price” do we pay?
When a project has multiple tracks, with clips stacked above each other so that only the video in the top-most track in the timeline will be displayed, what happens to the video in a track below the top-most track, i.e. video that will never be seen or viewable? Is the video in lower tracks still rendered?
Would it help rendering speed if the clip(s) in the lower tracks were removed?
Haven’t tested this yet, but intend to after my current render completes.
Would encoding be similarly affected?
Thanks.

I’ve found it makes no difference.

The rendering process only creates a render file that shows what will be seen on the screen at that point on the sequence.
Turning off tracks won’t make any difference.
