    matting a project in an NTSC CCIR 601 DV 720 x 480 sequence with a matte created in photoshop (light green with a vignette so i have to go outside FCP).

    Every time i make a change it needs to render. Are there any particular settings I should use in photoshop to avoid this?

    FCP will never playback a still natively. It will either use some sort of previewing or just turn red all together requiring a render. That will depend on your system and sequence settings.

    One thing you can check it to see what your RT settings are. On your timeline, to the very far upper left where it says “RT” click on it and select unlimited instead of safe. That might help.

    Also, if a warning comes up saying that you’ve dropped frames on playback, deselect the warn next time. It might help too.
