Yeah, FCP makes you render every time you do some kind of edit on the clip. I haven't figured out how to get past this. But I have learned to make my clips as short as I can so when I move them to the timeline the rendering time isn't as long.

It really depends on your processor and what editing codec you're using. I can apply dissolves to DV content without rendering, provided my sequence settings match my footage settings. That's on a Powerbook G4. On a G5 or Mac Pro I can do some fancier edits in lossless Sheer without rendering.
vins_girl, if you're getting the red "you need to render bar" in your Timeline when you have NOT added dissolves or effects to your clips, then your sequence is not set up properly.
This tutorial shows you how to setup a FCP sequence. There are other tutorials on that site as well, written for AMVers using FCP.
