  • HELP !! must RE-RENDER already RENDERED clips…

    Posted by Alvaro Lanciai on January 22, 2009 at 4:01 pm

    Dear friends,
    i’m working on a project based on a PRO RES422 timeline and it’s happening something very strange….
    I have 40 already rendered clips in my timeline when I need to have a break I launch rendering process pressing ALT-R on my keyboard, my Mac starts to render and iI go to drink a coffee…when I come back I find everything not rendered also the clips that have been rendered yesterday…..Sometimes appears:” SMOOTHCAM FAILED TO RENDER ”

    Are there solutions?
    I tried to:
    -erase all render files and re-render again
    -make a new project
    -revert the project AND SOMETIMES IT WORKS…it means that everything is correctly rendered !!!!

    Before deleting preferences, any suggestions…????

    thankyou

    They may be some ther reasons to get this message, but I’ve only sow that with footage impossible to stabilize.

    tis is the kind of message….and the clip was correctly stabilized before rendering…from this message I cannot see the clip until…
    To see the clip again I have to erase the “mtdf” file realated to that clip…

    You are right Alvaro.
    When the clip is to shaky you get “Unable to Analyze…”
    Alvaro, when FC start to make funny things like that, trashing Preferences is the last thing I try to do. The first thing I do is to use DiskWarrior to rebuild the directories. Thanks to this my Mac (no only FC) works great. i may trash Prefs once or twice a year. The last are from October when the AJA drives installer created new Preferences in FC. Optimize your System (and Hds0 and stay away from problems like those.

    Hi Rafael,
    Totally agree with DiskWarrior, and did you know Raf, that you can Lock the FCP prefs, and you won’t have to trash them as they won’t corrupt.

    Cheers

    Hi Alexander,
    That is an interesting option after configuring FC
    I have to try it.
