need some clarification on FCS2 - background exporting?

[Keebler]

Hi folks,

I'm pretty sure I know this answer, but I can't any 'official' confirmation so I figure the users are the best source.

FCS2 can't exporting in the background like FCS3 can right?

This new? feature is something that has me really thinking about getting this latest version b/c that could be a massive time saver for me.

Cheers,

correct

you can export in the background and continue editing. New to FCS3.

Nice feature, didn't catch that before...

Can it also render in the background while working on the same or another sequence?

thanks!

i had to wait 47 minutes while FCP 5.1 rendered 4 sequences (heavy colour correction was needed) before I could continue editing the next files.

I may be nuts, but that is a time saving feature for me in a big way. This happens quite often so if i can be rendering and/or exporting while I continue editing files.....awesome.

You can export using Compressor in the background buy you can't render in the background.
