Oh I see… But a big quantity of plugins, even if they have not been used in a specific project, can make the rendering slower (makes the software “heavier”)? I mean, one FCPX with only its native effects and a few 3rd party plugins compared with a FCPX with dozens and dozens of plugins (even if these are not used) has the same rendering performance?
By the way, does the firewire affect the effects rendering too? My doubt is, if I don’t play the video itself, only apply the effect to the clip and wait to render, the firewire (or faster connection) can have a main role in this process? I thought only the processor and RAM were designated for that. Am I wrong? Forgive so many questions, I’m not an expert user.
