With the video production standard increasing from high-definition 4K to 8K footage, editing now involves working with file sizes that are larger than ever. Since rendering time rises exponentially with bigger file sizes, optimizing for rendering speed is a key factor in reducing time when exporting your final video.
But is it possible to export a video without rendering? You can export a video without rendering. In some specialized video editing programs, the video is rendered behind the scenes or can be turned off as an option altogether.
When you go to export the footage, then it is done and rendered. The rest of this article will explain everything from video editing industry terms, the different types of rendering in some popular video editing software programs, and a few tips for speeding up your video exports.
There are a few industry terms to understand or refresh your memory before diving into the processes and workflows of exporting a video while using some of the most popular video editing software tools such as Apple Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere Pro. Rendering is the process in which a computer converts coded data information applying any edits or transformations, and ultimately producing an image or a finalized video file.
The term rendering can also be used as a general industry description to encode and export a video file. The process of rendering can be categorized by two different kinds of renderings, which are real-time rendering and advanced rendering. Real-time rendering happens when the computer can update and display images without any apparent or noticeable delay. However, your computer can only do so much real-time rendering at once!
Advanced rendering is when the computer takes additional time before any edits are done to generate a version that can be worked on in real-time. For example, some long animated movies feature scenes that are too demanding for the computer to process, so it requires rendering prior to any edits.
In the early days, video files were a compilation of photos. So in the case of 30 frames per second of footage, there were 30 photos on file for each second of the video. Considering it would take over a thousand photos 1, photos to be exact for a single minute of footage, the size of the overall video file was huge!
I was interested in Ben's statement that he never rendered before export in legacy FCP. Legacy versions of FCP were my primary editor for years and perhaps it was my hardware but I invariably had big difficulties coping with unrendered timelines.

Everything will be exported, whether or not you rendered in advance. They should just go dv to web, not have an intermediate.
