FCP 7 weird problem – fugitive video
I have an infuriating problem I hope someone can help me with.
Yesterday I picked up one scene in a 90 minute long documentary and inserted it before an earlier scene. Sounds simple but now I am getting shots from a later scene coming through the video. I’m not sure if I am explaining this well: The clip name is correct for the correct scene but the image in my viewer is from a later scene – and not just V1, I’m getting the subtitle video track too. The audio remains correct. It’s intermittent and pops up just for a second or two, actually seems to occur when there is no audio on tracks 1 and 2 but that may be a coincidence.
I relayed one clip and the problem went away for that one place, but do I have to replace almost every shot in the entire film??? Obviously I have rebooted a couple of times. Anything else I can try?
Thanks so much,
Peter

are your clips h264 ?

No, they are XDCam at full resolution.
Someone has suggested deleting all renders. Could that be the problem?

I’ll try that and if it doesn’t work, I’m sure you’ll be the first to hear about it!

well…did it work ?

Sorry to not reply. Yes, deleting all the renders did work. Very good to know. Thanks!

FWIW, I have the habit of deleting all my render files every now and then. They tend to fill up disk space, especially if there’s a lot of work and filters and stuff. You could end up saving quite some disk if you choose to delete all render files, just prior to export your final sequence.
Please note that deleting all your render files also clears your undo quece.

Deleting renders definitely cures a lot of ills. Up to this point I had been using the Render Manager periodically to delete renders not in the current sequence because they were severely slowing down the Autosave. This was the first time I resorted to deleting all the renders in a current sequence – it took nearly 2 hours to re-render!
