why do clips need to re-render w.TL move
I’m editing a sequence with mixed source footage, eg., ProRes clips (from hdv), and dv footage. My sequence is set for NTSC DV 3:2
Why do all the clips need to be re-rendered every time I simply move the clip on the TL. For example, with everything already rendered, a ripple edit or anything that changes the position of the clips along the TL, all the clips need to re-rendered.

Any clip that does not match your timeline will have to be re-rendered every time it moves. This is why many of us convert all the footage to one format during ingest.

Thank you. I wonder what the quality difference is between downcoverting hdv via firewire on the way in, vs. taking a pro res clip from the TL, exporting as QT sc movie and re-importing…or if there’s some other down side to that.
