Applying the Submaster Effect to a Multilayered Sequence
You can use the Submaster effect to speed the rendering process by applying it to a track above layered or nested effects and then rendering only the Submaster. The Avid editing application renders the composite result of all tracks into the top track.

The Submaster effect maintains links to the original media files, so you
should not delete the original media files. If you want to combine tracks to
create a sequence that is independent from the original media files,
perform a video mixdown.

The Submaster effect does not render each track separately, so you cannot
play each track individually, and the blue dot remains in the effect icon. In
addition, you cannot delete or modify a track below a Submaster effect or it
becomes unrendered.
