Rendering Hell- every time I move a clip or any audio FCP5 want’s to re-render
Editing NTSC DV footage shot on a DVX-100 shot @ 24fps. I brought it in as DV NTSC 48khz and I’ve got the sequence set @ that too. Although I just changed the sequence setting to DV NTSC 48khz-24 (guess that would make sense since it was captured @ 24fps). I’m confused about this point though…. I’ve heard it makes no difference as it’s always playing @ 29.97 but only ‘showing’ 24fps. Not sure. Which one is right.
Back to original question: Every single time I move any of the clips or any audio in my timeline FCP5 wants to re-render. Perhaps it’s because at times I have up to 4 video and audio tracks playing at once? Also, some of the footage has been tweaked in opacity, size and and feathered edges…. does that make a difference?
I don’t want to have to keep re-rendering! I have to wait 3 minutes or so every time I want to see if something works… if it doesn’t I have to start all over again! Arrrrggg
I’ve tried changing the “RT” to different settings …. but still no dice.I’m running FCP 5.0.4 on a Powermac G5 (dual 2 Gig) with 2 Ghz or RAM.
All my footage is on a G-RAID 320 …Thank you,

Was this shot with the 24p-normal or 24-p-advanced settings?
If it’s just “normal” then stick with a plain old 29.97 NTSC DV timeline. That’s all you need.
If you used the 24pA setting then you need to go search the DVX-100 forum for all the posts on how to deal with that. I can’t help you with that, but hopefully you used the other setting since it’s a very simple fix.

Your need to render indicates a mismatch between the media captured and the timeline. There is a HUGE difference between 24fps and DV NTSC. Change the setting of your sequence to match whatever you digitized at.
Be certain that you’re changing the “CURRENT SEQUENCE” not just the settings for future sequences. This usually trips people up. They’ve already created a sequence, then they go to the project settings, change them and can’t figure out why their current, open sequence still hasn’t changed. You have to ACTIVELY change the current sequence settings in order to see the change.

Mark and Jeff Thanks!
Now a bit of a “creative calf” question… sorry-
How do I go back and change the settings in the current sequence? : (Shot in regular 24P (NOT 24P advanced)
Thank you,

Highlight the sequence in the browser, select Sequence/Settings from the Menu bar or Ctrl+Click sequence in browser and select seetings..
