Re: A Cautionary Tale for the FCP Switcher
by Shawn Larkin on May 30, 2012 at 2:34:33 am

What is the disadvantage of using a flattened file + EDL (or edit detection) instead of a consolidated group of clips?

You are creating the same amount of media either way to work from -- just one version is a large file that the software cuts up and the other version is a bunch of small files that the software assembles in order.

As long as all your cuts and transitions are there, what is the difference?
