You can of course do full renders but the colorspace conversions and time loss are too big.

Note: if you dont know how to render at all... then maybe you should try learning some afx before
I know people who do this. I also know groups who do what relentlessflame mentioned. Someone has to pay the CPU time price for the render. It's up to the encoder's own knowledge of AFX, the AFXer's preferences, etc. My own preference is to render things out myself. That way I can see if anything is off more easily and ensure that any splice work I do is solidly on the money.

I wish I could provide a good guide to using afx, but my own abilities are limited to simple typesetting/timing in signs/rendering out finished work.
