  Cannot re-import without render needed

  Posted by Chris Hearn on October 23, 2008 at 9:06 pm

  Hi Guys,
  Working with Final Cut Studio 2 (FCP 6.03).
  Format is 625/25 SD PAL (720×576), and using IMX 50 compression.

  The problem is that exporting any video with a Motion text layer added, when I bring it back it needs rendering.

  Is this a bug in FCP? (I believe there was a similar issue with DVCPRO-50)

  I am trying to add VT clock text over the top of my (IMX50 video) line-up sequence.
  I can export just the video/audio layers, as self-contained .mov, and the file drops right back on the timeline.
  If I add motion text, (set to 720×576, frame rate 25, DV/PAL aspect ratio – same as my video), then render and export as .mov, it will not drop back on the timeline without rendering.
  As far as I can tell I have everything set to the same format.

  Any ideas would be great, as I have spent a long time on this and just cannot crack it!
  Thanks
  Chris
