When to edit native, When hybrid, and When pure i-frame… and Why

Ever since the launch of Final Cut Pro 6.0 (at this writing, we are at 6.04), we have for the first time had the possibility of realtime hybrid editing. Prior to FCP 6.0, in order to have realtime editing we had to convert all footage to the target format (códec, framerate, resolution, etc.) before editing… or edit natively. Now editors need to decide, on a case-by-case basis, whether to edit native, hybrid, or pure i-frame. But let me start by defining my key terms for this article:



Códec

Here is my expanded definition of the word:
(Coder + Decoder… from the Latin codex, -ĭcis, code, and -de, Latin prefix that negates or reverses the base meaning.)

1. noun. Algorithm used to encode and decode sounds, words, text… or audio/video signals.
2. noun. Hardware device or computer program that via a specific algorithm carries out encoding and decoding of sounds, words, text, or audio/video signals.
