Sequence Settings and Rendering
I had posted this after searching in an older post, but realized it was buried many many pages in, so I hope it is ok that I am making a new thread.
I’m having issues with needing to render everything in some of my timelines…
Despite the fact that when I drag the first clip to the timeline, and I click YES in the box that comes up and says “your sequence settings do not match the clip, would you like to make them match” I still get a red render bar over my timeline. It only happens with certain types of files, but if the program makes the settings match automatically, why would it be asking me to render? I can’t even play them back with no effects or transitions – it instantly wants me to render. As far as I can see everything matches in the clip and sequence, but red bar is staring at me…
The files are ProRes 640×480, 29.97, progressive. They are actually made from hi bitrate (50Mb/sec) Mpeg-2 files – I figured this would be a decent way to be able to edit but not lose too much quality. But it always asks me to render. If I use DV it seems to work just fine, but I’d rather stay in square pixels as the original footage is that way. Am I just using “weird” settings or is something else going on?
My system is an 8-core Mac Pro with 16GB Ram and running 10.5.5
Thanks,
