Adding effects to segments, or transforming sources for output, will

require CPU processing: rendering. This rendering normally happens

transparently in the background as you work, and in most

circumstances requires no explicit intervention.

Master layer effects are rendered in realtime on the graphics card

GPU and do not require system CPU processing.

You will have to

render

your composition if you :

Add effect layers or

Add adjustment segments

Create and use proxy sources (1:1 Clone, 2:1 etc.)

Create source caches (for example, from MXF, Quicktime or Red raw

files)

Proxy Source vs Source Cache

A proxy source and a source cache are technically the same thing

but we differentiate them because :

a) A source cache is always 1:1 (equivalent to 1:1 Clone proxy) and

b) A source cache requires no explicit proxy format created on the

project. The cache proxy is created automatically and

transparently.

Note that (b) is only true if you leave the createClone parameter

true (for the relevant file format) in the preference file :
