    Yesterday I had to open up some 4.5 projects in 5.0.2, and some video clips needed rendering, but it would not let me do it. The render bar came on for a second and just went off. No warning alert or anything. Happened on at least two different projects.

    Anyone else seen this?

    I’ve see this, too.
    Did you get the warning that the project will update and to save into the new format?
    I think you must do this in order to render to the new engine. You should get a box that says you have three choices for the render quality when you update the media files.

    I’d make a copy of your 4.5 project files at the Finder level before updating them.

    Hope you get it fixed, Chris, stuff like this usually doesn’t stop you.

    This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

    Hey David,

    Yes, got the warning and let it update the file. I”m not sure what copying to the finder level would do, but I will try that later today. I’m also gonna try opening a new 5.0.2 project and import the old into it and see what happens. Thanks for the quick response!

    I had this happen last week…. seems like I check every option in Render All, and then took off In/Out, and then selected “Both” from the Render drop down menu. Keyboard shortcuts weren’t doing it.
