M2 Redrock and FCP Render?

[CHE]

A little more research before the big plunge....

If the M2 flips the image and the image needs to be re-flipped in FCP, how much render time am I looking at. For the sake of argument, lets say I am shooting the highest quality/bandwidth footage.

Ok, once rendered, does FCP need to re-render the footage every time I move it on the timeline or add a dissovle, title, etc. I imagine so, but thought I might ask.

Anyone with extensive experience please advise. I need to make a decision for the college at which I teach. We are looking at purchasing between 5-10 DVX units and mini-35 adaptors. Basically, trying to get the most bang for the buck.

Thanks in advance for any help.

flipping the image is a fairly low-intensity modification in post. hardly any rendering at all. depends on how fast your machine is i suppose though
another option is to create a new video clip with your flipped footage, then re-import it into the project, then you can add titles or do whatever, no rendering.
