Apple has done a lot of work underneath the hood to help bring a more powerful encoder for us, the Final Cut Pro editors
Heath McKnight

Apple Final Cut Pro 7
There are plenty of great new features that make it worthwhile to upgrade
Heath McKnight
A little more than two years after Final Cut Pro 6 introduced the ProRes codec, Background Processes, Smooth Cam, and many other functions, Apple debuts Final Cut Pro 7 (FCP), part of the third version of Final Cut Studio. There are more ProRes options, export settings that can be done in the background without Compressor 3.5 open, iChat Theater support (an excellent collaboration tool), and much more.

Sony Sound Forge Non-destructive Editing Techniques, Part I (Project Files)
working on a reference to the original media, and not the media itself
Jeffrey P. Fisher
When using Sound Forge for audio editing, clean-up, and mastering, you typically work directly on the original file. While you do have undo commands, once you save a file you make a permanent, destructive change to it. Most people get around this limitation (and potentially dangerous situation) by working on a copy of the original.
