Final Cut Effects Not Working
The message:
“The effect “Bad TV” failed to render: Your hardware cannot render at the requested size and depth.”
So, all of the effects are doing this and my output size is just NTSC (720×470)…nothing extravagant. I bought the best Intel Mac you can buy, I have the latest FCP..and I have 8GB RAM, surely that can’t be the problem.
Any ideas? Pretty frustrating. :-/

720 x 470? Please explain that non-standard frame size first of all.

It’s the “right out of the box” DV settings:

I’m not sure that this has anything to do with it, but I noticed that your source footage is .dv. What is the frame size of the source?

Just tested my Bad TV filter. Working fine.

.DV would be my first guess as the source of the problem. .DV has a different data rate than the Apple DV codec and has given me fits in the past when I’ve used it w/FCP.

Are you set to render in 8-bit YUV in the Sequence Settings>Video Processing tab? I seem to recall some posts awhile back about folks having render issues and that fixed it.
