    Well NO DUH! I am using FCP 7.

    I disable the clip below, CTRL-B…same result. I simply cannot replicate what you are claiming. I move the clip…I need to render.

    Anyone else able to do what these YAHOOS are doing?

    (lol)

    Ok Shane,

    I think the problem is your blur filter. I used the directional blur which is FxPlug and that didn’t work. I tried a speed change and that worked. And I tried the CC 3Way and that worked – and this is not a FXplug. I also tried a basic border and old gaussian blur – both worked – both not FXplug.

    So I think that’s the issue – FXPlug won’t work, older filters and non FXPlug – render improvements…

    [Chi-Ho Lee] “FXPlug won’t work, older filters and non FXPlug – render improvements… “

    OH-HO! NOW I can replicate what you are seeing. I added a Gaussian Blur…non FxPlug, and moved that all over, and turned off visibility of the tracks below and it stayed rendered.

    OK, a small step in the right direction…but there are a LOT of FXPlug plugins…

    Still, I feel better now that I can replicate what you are seeing.

    Interesting thread but why isn’t there a simple way to tell what will and what will not require rerendering?

    I still don’t understand why FCP isn’t smart enough to be able to know when something needs to be rerendered or just relinked. Even Media 100, way back in 1995, could figure that out. but it only understood two tracks of video.

    And my beloved and long extinct Fast601 not only behaved very intelligently with render files, it did it all in the backround while you were editing away!
