Can you Render an Entire PROJECT?
Forgive me if this is in the manual, I have the book here but NOT a Mac to test with so it’s making it difficult to figure out what’s what.
I have a client with a project that has about a hundred sequences, each in a different folder (bin). He’s lost his render files and isn’t looking forward to opening each one, waiting 5-10 minutes for it to render, and then moving on to the next.
Is there some way for him to tell Final Cut to just render everything in the entire project whether the sequence is open or not? Auto-render doesn’t do that, does it? I am under the impression it only works on opened sequences. I suppose that’s an ok solution…open them all then let it sit overnight.
Any advice is appreciated.

auto-render does it… but he’ll have to open all the sequences in order for them to get rendered. shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes to open 100 sequences.

just select all the folders and go Render all.

you can also use the Render Manager to render any sequence in any project, opened or closed, as long as the files are in the current render scratch disk. Go to Tools>Render Manager. I’ve used it, it’s a great a tool.

How’s that?!?
I couldn’t see Render Manager able to do anything other than delete renders. It didn’t have an option to actually Render …Please explain?

oops, my bad!
you’re absolutely right, and that’s how I’ve used it – don’t know why I thought it could also re-render. Thanks for the follow up.
