Final Cut Pro: Effects listed as Real Time may need to be rendered when added to sequences that contain oversized still images

You may need to render Real Time effects—indicated by bold text in the Effects tab of the Browser—when you add them to a sequence that contains oversized still images.
Products Affected
Final Cut Pro 6.x
Resolution
Sometimes when you add a Real Time filter to a sequence that contains oversized still images, you may need to render it before it will play. For example, this might happen when you add a 2812-by-3408 pixel still image to a 720p25 sequence. In such a case, you should expect to render the sequence because the image must be rescaled to fit the sequence frame size.
