    Ok so I made a small video with what is happening. In the timeline random clips are not rendering right or something and they are black…
    I made a youtube video to show you

    here is my set up.
    iMac dual 2.0 only one gig of ram 🙁
    Os is 10.5.8
    Final Cut Studio is 5.1.4
    I’m working in HD 1080p 60i from my Z1U camera and just using the effects that came with FCS

    I know it shouldn’t be a problem to render and re-render various parts of a timeline in multiple passes, but I’ve found that simply rendering everything in one pass once I’m done with all my edits/pre-renders can sometimes solve strange render issues. So, the first thing I’d try is deleting all the render files for that project and re-rendering the timeline in one “render all” pass until all lines purple/blue. There are other ways to delete render files, but I prefer to do it manually by going to the Final Cut Pro Documents folder in Finder.

    Deleate your render files and re render.

    And do yourself a BIG favor. Add more ram to your computer. You have only 1gb. The OS is using most of that 1gb leavingnnext to nothing to run FCP. Im honestly surprised that fcp will even open with that small amount of ram.
