Submaster Editing
The Submaster effect is in the Image category of the Effect Palette. When you render this effect, the Avid editing application creates a single media file from several clips or effects in a sequence.
Rendering a Submaster effect saves the new Submaster clip to the drive as a single media file. However, the Avid editing application leaves untouched each element that makes up the composite, so you can still manipulate any element.
The Submaster effect is useful when you want to play back bandwidth-limited sequences, such as sequences composed of several seconds of single-frame clips. It is much faster to use the Submaster effect than to use methods such as applying a graphic, Picture-in-Picture, Mask, or Resize effect. Normally, Submaster effects render at about the same rate as motion effects.

An edit decision list (EDL) for a sequence that contains a Submaster effect
represents the contents of the Submaster as a single cut. To work around
this, you can create a new sequence with the contents of the Submaster and
generate a separate EDL for that sequence.
