FCP 6 Won’t Export QT Reference!!!! Only self-contained!!

[Walter Biscardi]

Have you rendered your entire timeline?

Are you exporting to “Current Settings” or are you changing that?

That’s the way FCP works. The realtime engine means realtime playback and preview, it doesn’t exclude rendering altogether, jut allows you to defer rendering until a time when you’re not busy doing something else.

Also, I would recommend that you not get in the habit of making reference movies, as they are potential time bombs that can bite you later, because they become useless and unplayable if you should ever re-render or make even one change to the timeline they reference.

You need to render because realtime effects are being played using your computer’s processors on the fly… There are no effects media files being referenced, as there would be with a rendered effect.
Get it?

Hi Milton,

Is the source footage HDV? Even if there is no rendering needed, i.e. no filters or speed changes have been applied, the timeline still needs to “conform” because of the GOP structure of the HDV format.

with 10.06 and using the export file tool, no progress bar appears. its almost as if it is not exporting. then a few minutes later, quicktime lauches with your exported video. what gives?
