This IS the Avid L2: [Avid-L2] Does Timeline Quality Setting Effect Renders, Precomputes, Tape Outputs, File Exports?

Can someone confirm or deny that Timeline Quality effects Renders, Precomputes, Tape Outputs, File Exports or anything else. I seem to recall for digital cuts there was a time when Avid forced the Timeline Settings to full green during digital cut but my recollection is hazy. Given Timeline Settings effect the video out of I/O hardware I would think they might effect a digital cut but what about renders, exports etc...? I looked up an old thread on the Avid forums but didn't really see a definitive answer:

According to the Avid manual, precomputes are definitely affected by timeline video quality settings:

Ensuring the Quality Level of Precomputed Clips Before you export or output your sequence, you must ensure that all your precomputed clips have been rendered using the desired quality settings. Your Avid editing application cannot always recognize that it needs to re-render effects when you change a quality setting. You must manually purge and re-render precomputed clips to ensure that all effects render with the desired quality. In general, you need to purge and re-render if you have rendered effects while working in a lower quality setting and have then switched to a higher quality setting. In contrast, if you render in a higher quality and switch to a lower quality, you do not always need to re-render. The quality of the precomputed clips is higher than that of the sequence and they are downconverted in real-time during playback. In this case, you should re-render only if you want to improve playback performance or maintain a consistent rendering quality across all clips.

You need to consider re-rendering your precomputes if you change any of the settings listed in the following table.
