“Save” to ensure there’s no accidental recording

timecode to recapture these clips. If your original
tapes have discontinuous timecode (a zero timecode
at a location other than the beginning of your tape),
you must manually cue to the portion of the tape

accurate recapture of the clip(s) and provide you
with trim handles. (You can see the extra frames by

MPEG format must now be rendered.
For other captured footage, Studio begins the
process of Intelligent Rendering, whereby it renders
only the parts of your movie that actually require it
