Appologizes if this is redundant.
It would be amazing to have the option to render all clip-based effects with a user definable set of handles. When working with really heavy effects (BCC 10), making a tiny trim or changing from a cut to a dissolve can blow away a 12 minute render.
I'd rather increase my initial render time by including handles than re-rendering when I'm fine-tuning edits. If further changes to a clip are within the handle threshold the Avid shouldn't "go blue".
To make this work there may also need to be a "keyframe lock" that prevents the start or end keyframe from changing position during a trim operation as this would require a re-calculation by the effect. Anyhow, I'll leave the mechanics of this to smarter people:)
This could be implemented as just another type of render: Render, Expert Render, Render with Handles
