  Rendering Apple ProRes 422

  Posted by Diego Rivera on December 3, 2008 at 3:43 pm

  Hi all,

  Please I need some help!!!!

  I captured some HDCAM material with Apple ProRes 422 setting. When editing, I can work in the preview mode but when I render, suddenly many of the clips that I rendered seem to change and are replaced with material that I wasnt using before. I tried to erase the preferences of Final cut but this problem kept happening.

  Any ideas on why this could be happening?

  Thanks a bunch

  you said

  [Diego Rivera] “erase the preferences of Final cut “

  have you tried deleting all your render files for this project?
  you may have corruption in a render or two.
  Just erase them and re render your sequence, and see if that helps.

  Some people use “render manager”, but I normally do it at the finder level and I’ve never run into a problem. Final cut makes it pretty easy to find the render files for each project.

  I tried doing that but I didn’t work.
  I have this problem when I render a fragment of my film that has two or more clips overlayed.
  None of what I tried seems to work.

  Any other suggestions?

  Thanks!

  Wow, I thought my suggestion would fix your problem. I have had that same thing happen a few times a few years back. Renders were the culprit.

  You obviously have some weirdness, so try to troubleshoot the problem.
  start a new sequence (copy/paste old one into a new one). Start a new project (copy/paste all things into new project). Use FCP Rescue (or similar) to trash your preferences. Couldn’t hurt to run disk utility to repair permissions. If none of that helps, you may be looking at corruption in your footage.

  try these basic suggestions and see if that doesn’t help you out.
