    I’m working on a video portfolio of my sisters acting. Some files are .dv others are .mov.
    Every time I try to render, I get a message saying theres insufficient memory and to clear out the render manager, yet its empty.
    The file is 4.4MB

    Hi Lisa,
    You would go better by re-wrapping the “.dv’ files.
    With MPGstreamclip just need to “Save as..QT”.

    Can you give us the specs on the clip?

    Did you:

    Repair permissions
    Trash Prefs
    reboot
    relaunch?

    What kind of specs? (Sorry, im not great at the very technical side of things.)

    I’ve relaunched FCP, and now have a ‘additional render files’ folder in the Render Manager.
    Hope that helps.. :/

    It appears that her scratch disk is full. That’s when FCP tells you to clear out with the render manager. That doesn’t mean that clearing out with the render manager is going to do anything. If you haven’t rendered anything yet, then of course it’s not.

    Lisa check in your scratch disk prefs where the renders are set to go, and if there’s enough drive space there.

    Then there’s the mess of formats and frame rates you’re mixing.

    I know x.x Im more used to downloading from a camera through a mini DV then using a harddrive.

    It saids i have 100 MB of minimum allowed free space on the disk. And by all the ticks it says 44.4 MB on FCP
