So just to clarify what I thought I saw during the FCPX rollout, one of the= "selling points" in the demo that I watched was that "now all this renderi= ng can occur in the background during low-use CPU cycles." If that means a= background encode/render to a ProRes or other proxy is going on in the bac= kground, then that is still not "working with files natively" in my book. P= remiere has no background render processes that occur automatically unless = the user starts a render process for exporting. In Pr, with a system like m= ine, no rendering ever needs to occur in the background. All native files s= tay native and do not change during the edit.
