Activity Forums Apple Final Cut Pro Legacy Timeline keeps un-rendering

  • Timeline keeps un-rendering

    Posted by Jonny Cates on March 14, 2014 at 6:08 pm

    I’m near the end of a 45 minute edit that was shot in 1920×1080. For some reason, if I do anything new or make any changes to the timeline, a large portion the most recent clips in the timeline reverts back to un-rendered every time. I have to render it again and again in small sections because it will stop rendering and say out of memory. I can’t render ALL the un-rendered clips at one time.

    I’ve done many projects of this size and bigger with just 4gb ram with no issues. Why now?
    “Is this simply an answer to just add more RAM? Or is something else gone wrong with this timeline?”

    Thanks

    Are you using a lot of high-rez stills in this project?

    Mark….As a matter of fact, yes I am using a lot of medium to HI-REZ stills. And nearly every one has a motion added to them (Ken Burns effect).

    This is one project that required a lot of stills from another photographer. Since there were so many, I reduced them to a meduim REZ using iPhoto’s batch process….but even still, the DPI did not change, only the width and height did. They are still 300dpi but now much smaller in inches. They were extremely large in width and height originally, and I thought by batch processing them in iPhoto would reduce the DPI as well. It did not. It only reduced the measurements.

    I don’t have a lot of experience using this many stills at one time. I’ve used a few in the past and I changed them manually “one by one” to about 150dpi.

    Is this the reason why I can’t hold a render? What should the REZ be?

    Thanks so much…

    Are you suggesting that my rendering issue may be something else, other than HI-Rez stills?
