FCP X re-rendering noise correction plug-in any time I make a change
-
Jeff,
So, this is something that FCP X sometimes does…….concludes for some reason that a re-rendering is called for, even if it is not?
Oh well, something to work around.I am not sure what you are doing when you say “rendered to a new file”, but I get the point. Maybe I could just get the rendering out of the way right off the bat w/o doing anything else, then create a new Project and bring the rendered file into the new Project instead of the original file….I need to think through how to do this (?)….still learning. But anyway, I sure like the idea of getting noise correction over with, then working with the low-noise clip so I can see how color correction looks with the low-noise clip…..no dropped frames, etc.
Thank you!

David,
I have trashed preferences but I have not reinstalled the plug-in. I will try that.Could you tell me specifically how you do the Export/Import? Once you noise-correct, do you:
(1) Share–> Export the clip in ProRes (no change in format) to a folder
(2) Import the new low-noise clip into the Event folder
(3) Cut the original high-noise clip from the Project
(4) Drag the low-noise clip from the Event folder into the Project?
(5) Proceed with edit/color, with FCP X treating the new clip like a normal clip?If I am off here please let me know.
I sure like this approach of getting the pain over quickly. 🙂 -

Nope, you’ve got it!

This approach is so much better. The less I have to look at the high noise clip, the better.
My hope is that the FS100 camcorders will eliminate this problem except in the worst cases. We’ll see. The XF300 simply couldn’t deal with extreme low lighting and the resulting high gain. Some Canon guys (just some) kept telling me not to worry, it could all be solved in post…..but just not a good camcorder for these conditions (great in other conditions).
At least I’ve learned a lot about noise reduction.

Michael,
Neat Video is doing the same thing for me – it does a re-render every time any change is applied – even the smallest one. This makes the plugin unusable – and I have a MacPro 8CPU machine. Please if you have found a solution for this, post it. I just wrote on Neat Video’s forum, but this seems like a very bad bug and I am very surprised that no other people report it. It starts Re-Rendering in FCPX the moment a change is made, unlike any other filter out there. -
I’m finding the same thing in a long project I’m editing so it’s very annoying. Just found this work around. The whole thread is interesting on this problem.
