I want to select “Render All Clips” in Deliver page (Resolve 9)

[Michael Holmes]

Juan, honestly I have spent hours in the manual, and I have read every page multiple times relating to rendering in the Deliver page. I truly don’t need repeated guidance to go to the manual, but thank you anyway.

There are no jobs in the queue, zero. I clear the queue of completed jobs each time before I add a new job. Each time I took the actions I described above, there was only the one job in the queue.

Please tell me if there is some way I can be locking the rendering process into rendering the same clip repeatedly, regardless of what I select for rendering.

Well the behavior you were describing was what would happen if you had a job in the queue. It’s hard for me to say what could be wrong. But I would try different setting in the output queue. Are you using a preset? Want to post a screen grab of your setting, might be easier to spot if something is off.

I have uploaded two screen shots that show the info on the left side of the Deliver page. I can’t see anything that would cause the very odd behavior I am describing, but what do I know. 🙂

Is there anything unique about the 13th clip? Which version of the v9 beta are you running? Can you try just using the fcp XML round trip workflow preset to see if it exhibits the same behavior? Also use ‘Render All’ not mark in mark out at first, just to see if that is an issue.

I know of nothing unique about the 13th clip.

The FCPX round-trip won’t give me what I need, because I need all the versions rendered, so I need commercial workflow.

There is no “Render All” in 9. There is “Select All”. As I said above, I tried Select All.

I am using the latest version of Lite 9.

Fcp XML Roundtrip, not fcpx. And you can add commercial workflow to the preset. But the point is to see if it’s an issue with your preset. Try any other preset is my point.

Well…….hold my breath……..it appears that I got it to start rendering all the clips. I won’t know for sure for 4 hours, but maybe.

I opened Resolve and went to the Deliver page to try different things (for the umpteenth time). I then noticed that the In/Out times were for the 13th clip. I had just opened Resolve, so I see no reason it should be here, but it was. So, I selected Select All before I added the job to the queue. The In/Out times then changed to the correct times for all clips. When I then hit Render, the times stayed at the right settings for all the clips.

I have been adding the job to the queue, then selecting the clips to render. This seems logical to me, since Add Job is on the left side. So, I assumed you added the job, then moved to the right side to select the particular clips to render.

Is it a requirement that you select the clips you want to render before you add the job to the queue? If so, I missed it in the manual.

BTW, I still have no idea what is going on with the 13th clip.

We’ll see if this really works. I’ll hold my breath until: rendering is complete, I export XML data, import XML back into FCP X, then look at the clips in FCP X.

In the meantime, please let me know if I am the only one who didn’t understand the proper sequence.

Section titled “Using the Render Queue”:

“1. Select a session.
2. Choose a range of clips to render using the Deliver page Timeline.
3. Choose the settings you require in the Render Settings list, either individually, or by using one
of the Easy Setups.
4. Click the Add Job button at the bottom right of the Render Settings list.”

You can also edit the mark in/out of a job added to the queue, just make sure the job is selected (it should have an amber border).

Next problem. While rendering I got this error message:

Error occurred while opening audio clip
‘Volumes/Video 1/Final Cut Events/Trio Bravo.Duffs.8-14-12/Original Media/00008(fcp1).mov’
using QTDecoder.

I clicked OK, then got this 2nd error message regarding same clip:

Error occurred while trying to read frame from clip
‘Volumes/Video 1/Final Cut Events/Trio Bravo.Duffs.8-14-12/Original Media/00008(fcp1).mov’
using QTDecoder.

I clicked OK and then got a 3rd error message regarding a different clip:

Error occurred while closing clip
‘Volumes/Video 1/Final Cut Events/Trio Bravo.Duffs.8-14-12/Original Media/00000(fcp1).mov’
using QTDecoder.

I trashed the partially rendered files, and started the rendering process again with a new job.

This time it rendered through clip 9, before giving this error message:

Recording failed.
Recording failed with error: Failed to encode the audio samples

Beside the job in the queue, there was a red X and it said 22% complete. but below this, the “Overall Progress” showed 100% complete.

The 2nd attempt did not show any of the errors related to clips 0 and 8, which showed up in the 1st attempt.

Any suggestions on how to get through this?
Do I need to try rendering one clip at a time?
