Edit to tape makes me render

[Jeremy Garchow]

Delete all of the disabled clips in your timeline.

There are no disabled clips. I have a textless sequence and all the text above it nested with a broadcast safe filter on it.

Is that rendered fully?

And by that he means, no DARK GREEN either…but either grey or fully rendered purple.

Yes everything is totally rendered, it took an hour to do it right before I tried to lay it off.

I’ve never used that codec but edit to tape always does this rendering thing; it’s a stupid non-feature that has been around forever. (You may be looking at a different issue, dunno for sure.) We used to solve it two ways. Export the sequence as a self-contained movie, reimport it, put it in a fresh sequence, print the sequence. It should not require rendering. Or, since most of us do not have t/c or frame accurate editing on our little DV decks, we put the machine into record and push play on the timeline. You build your timline with bars, tone, slates, countdaowns included instead of using the edit to tape interface. It’s the ETT and PTT interfaces that cause the entire project to render every time you try to do the edit.

This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

[Jeremy Garchow]

Are you absolutely sure there are no disabled clips in the timeline? Even one clip will mess it up.

[Mike Kahn]

Yes it’s a big quicktime and all my titles. There is nothing disabled.

[Mike Kahn]

Yeah I think I’m going to have to render out my titles and lay them back in. I was hoping not to have to do that but I’ll take the hour once rather then every time I have to make a layback.

Thanks.

And you are dragging the timeline from the browser to the ETT window?

For what it’s worth, I never have to do this render step unless a clip is disabled in the timeline.

Opposite of what Bogie says, but true for me.
