You can set the quality of the standard render by going to Sequence
menu, selecting Render and then the quality you want. From now on,
when you manually select render (or hit Apple-R) it will render to
that quality.
The orange you saw, is part of the render status bar, which tells you
what quality your video is current in. It matches the selections in
the render menu. There's also an audio render status bar underneath
the video one, which has two choices, red and striped red, but most
machines should be able to play it back in real time so long as the
video has been rendered green (preview) or better.
Grey means you can view at full speed with no rendering required.
Green means you can view at full speed, but the quality is less in
order to do so.
Orange means you can view it but it will stutter and skip frames.
This is part of RT Extreme, and what the other posts were referring
it. Its logic inside FCP that allows it to plaback a certain amount
of data (depending on the power of your machine), without having to
render it.
Red means you can't view it without rendering to one of the other colours.
FCP will always render to grey when you export to QuickTime or
Compressor, the colours are only for while you're editing, in order
to reduce the render time.
