Technical question regarding Video Preview options in Seq Settings
I am trying to wrap my head around some of the unique differences between FCP7 and PrP 5.5. What is the function of the Video Preview choices in the Sequence Setting menu? It seems standardized to I Frame Only MPEG with other options depending on what your source footage is. Why would I use this setting as opposed to 1080 (for an AJA sequence made from Prores footage) or P2 (for an Adobe seq built from the same Prores footage) or Red which gives you no options then the one I just mentioned?
In FCP when things were rendered they were used when I would export the sequence. Is PrP 5.5 the same? If I am previewing a 1080 sequence in I Frame Only MPEG, does that mean on output the whole entire sequence and effects need rendering? What is the best work flow when using Adobe or AJA sequences in regard to this Video Preview setting? It is so different from what I am used to I want to make informed choices.
