Constant rendering..
Hi FCP’ers
I’m editing a showreel on FCP 6 using H.264 files from different productions i’ve worked on.
Is there a way to edit offline so i don’t have to continuously re-render every time i make a cut or add a new clip? Then i can just render the lot once when i’ve re-imported?
Am i missing a trick?
Cheers

H.264 is NOT an editing codec. Convert them to a proper editing codec and you will not have the problem.
There are no “technical solutions” to your “artistic problems”.
Don’t let technology get in the way of your creativity! -
You cannot easily edit h.264 without huge hardware support, it’s a highly compressed streaming or constant playback release format but it requires intense calculations to build individual frames. If you want o avoid rendering you must transcode it to something that does not require constant rendering.
