The background rendering feature is, simply put, awesome. This is what I paid the most attention to while working in FCPX.įrom my first export, I recognized noticeable speed increases over exporting the same project in Premiere that were comparable to similar tests I had seen online.

I find myself using it frequently to minimize and maximize timeline sizes, import footage, and a variety of other uses.
