I will ask this question with an extreme example ..
If I have a video that is done ... (and there is NO SPOT on the video where there is either "nothing" or any opacity under 100%)
If I then put in another video track with content - that will NOT be seen at all in the final render - does the existence of that additional track make the Render longer than if it was not there?
-------------
In my real world case ..
if I want to have a graphic be on the screen at every point where there is nothing or where opacity lets something show through .. do I hurt myself by putting the clip as a track for the entire length - of the video - or should I just put a small clip of it- at the points where it will show up.
Hope I made the question clear I am probably using some of the wrong words ..
