Blank Record window when stopped on clips with effects

[Jiri Fiala]

When parked (stopped) on clips with effects (such as 3D PiP), I’m getting blank Record window. It all plays correctly but no image when stopped. What can I do to fix this? Thanks!

Media Composer 2021.12 on iMac 5k on Monterey 12.1.

Check that Render On-The-Fly is turned on (Ticked.)

It’s under the Composer menu option.

Check the Online User Guide and have a read on this section:

High-Resolution Workflows : Working with High-Resolution Media : Rendering Effects

That was exactly it! I haven’t used AMC for a while, I thought this was some sort of background rendering… Not very intuitive wording from Avid. Thank you!
