If I drop a new clip in a new sequence and the render bar is green and I go ahead and raise the clip volume 10db and the render bar is still green, do I have to render it it or can I export the clip to quicktime? Will my 10 db change still be intact on the exported clip? Or do I have to raise the volume 10 db, then render it, then export it to quicktime?

The reason I ask is because if I don’t have to render it when it is green, I can skip this step and save 45 minutes of rendering time on a 1/2 hour tv show……Is this a wasted step David?

Our show comes out of ProTools as a Quicktime movie and then we create a new sequence, drag the clip in, raise the volume 10db, render it(with green bar), re-export it out as quicktime for the final format which is 4:3 for the TV station. We raise the volume 10db to meet their broadcast specs.
