Re: [FCP-L] OT Compressor Strip CC

Just curious how the presence of captioning SD style makes for longer renders? Is it that the necessary effect to remove the captioning is what creates the longer renders. Since SD captioning is just a line of blips of white on line 21 I don't see why that requires extra rendering time unless it's the removal process.
