Batch Rendering ?
I know you can do Batch Capture and Batch Exports, but i really could do with a way to do Batch Renders of multiple sequences.
I am doing lots of tagged versions of commercials, so have many individual sequences all in need of rendering as the almost final stage. It would be much more efficient if i could do all the necessary work in each sequence in one big session, then highlight all the sequences in the Browser and have FCP render them all one after the other whilst i have a break away from the screens.
Anyone if this is possible ? or of a workflow that can avoid having to manually render each sequence and still lets me keep each sequence as a separate entity?

Hi there,
When you step away for a break from the screens just ensure you have set your autorender settings under “Final Cut Pro > User Settings” to something like 1 minute and ensure the option that reads “open sequences” is showing.
Also, under the “Sequence” drop down menu ensure you have all types of renders ticked – then FCP will render EVERYTHING in ANY sequences that are open in the timeline window.
Hope that helps!

Doh !!
Of course…it all makes sense now.
It used to bug me that fcp would render away anytime i left the machine for awhile, so i switched it off wondering what the point of it was…now i understand.
thanks the info – extremely useful!

Hi
You can also select multiple sequences in browser
and hit render selected (command+r).TJL

Glad to be of help…

Wow…Premiere could really do with that function. Does the FCP autorender function enable while you’re working (like Background Rendering in AE/Nucleo or Timemagic on Quantel)? That’d be awesome. Or is it just when you’re not working on the Mac for an amount of time?
Also, does FCP have a Batch Encode workflow for multiple timelines>MPEG? Premiere’s use of Aodbe Media Encoder means you have to do one at a time..which is VERY annoying!
Thanks.

no- its not a background process, but that does give you a good excuse to get away from the screen for a break.
yes – it does have batch encode for multiple sequences. Also not a background process.

Ooohh…now I’m seeing some very good reasons to check out FCP.

FCP does not render in the background.
In Compressor, you can batch encode. Compressor also allows you to cluster multiple networked computers to distribute encoding.

Cheers Steve, yeah I would check that out..if I had an upto date version of QT..which I can’t install cos it b*ggers up Premiere with the rubbish Blackmagic drivers I have. JOY!
Hello Macworld, hello FCP, goodbye current woes! (Probably hello to new ones though..)

Hi
I have FCP 7 and tried several time to batch render 3 separate seqs by selecting them all in the browser and hitting cmd + r, but nothing happens!
Any ideas…..?
