Render problem H.264 Can you copy in and out points?
Hi,
Finished rough cut for a wedding filmed professionally with multiple cameras (3). This involved a lot of audio syncing, (used Pluraleyes but still needed lots of perfecting). Original files were given to me on an external hard drive as .mov files. When dropped first clip in timeline clicked yes to match timeline settings, render bar is grey. Only after I completed the rough cut, when I started to change the opacity or use transitions did I notice the render bar go red!! So I rendered and some parts render fine but some parts are skipping. So I exported as QT and skipping still present. The only way I can think to resolve this is to convert all the original files to Apple ProRes, re import and start again…aaaahhhh…all that work for nothing. Is there any way I can copy the in and out points from the original edit (most clips are small just one pass of each shot) and paste them on to the files in the new edit? Or do you have another way to resolve this issue?
The problem clips item properties are:
Vid Rate 25fps
Frame Size 1920 x 1080
Compressor H.264
Data Rate 5.5MB/sec
Pixel Aspect SquareSequence item properties are:
Vid Rate 25fps
Frame Size 1920 x 1080

Pixel Aspect SquareTeach me to never trust clips from someone else, will always convert first!!
I appreciate any help you can offer.
Kind regards,
Loretta

Just solved the issue…..I think writing it out for this forum clears the mind. Created a new sequence with HD settings and pasted the rough cut, orange render bar but once rendered problem solved. Should have known better than clicking yes to match sequence settings…always creates issues…..so relieve I don’t have to start again!

Do this. Highlight your footage in the Browser, and right-click and choose MEDIA MANAGER. Use the RECOMPRESS option. Recompress to ProRes LT. Or, you can do this with MPEG STREAMCLIP on the finder level. Recompress all the footage to ProRes.
MAKE SURE THEY HAVE THE EXACT SAME NAMES! You will have to put them in another folder and make sure the names of the ProRes files match the H.264 ones.
Take the H.264 files offline.
Open the project. Reconnect to the ProRes files.
Now…tricky part…fixing the sequence settings. Make a new sequence….cut a proRes clip into that sequence. Say YES to the prompt to change sequence settings. Now, delete that clip. Copy and paste the cut from the old sequence to this new one.

Or do that. Make sure the new settings are ProRes one.
Still would be better to convert. You’ll get no render lines, and the footage will be much easier to edit with.
