Identical seq and clip settings and still need render
David, I starting to believe that there’s a little more than just matching your sequence settings to your clips in some cases to not have to render. My clip settings are:
640×480 – 30fps – dv/dvcpro-ntsc – square – non field dominance
I matched my seq to those settings and I still need to render.
What I noticed is that the RT menu on the timeline is very limited with these settings. And if I switched from 640×480 to 720×480 i don’t need to render and the RT menu is back full.
So, in this case matching the settings to a T doesn’t seem to work, or does it?
best,

Seems that you have created quite a beast of a format there … any reason you did not create your clips using standard DV NTSC settings? You seem to be struggling now to create a sequence to match your non-standard format. FCP is designed to best handle standard broadcast & professional formats, non standard codecs are not well supported.
Hope it helps

Not really, I just used iphoto to organize my photos and zoom in them because for that purpose is the fastest way, but unfortunately I could only export a quick time that is 640×480, so from there I converted the file to a regular dv codecs by keeping the frame size, that’s all. The trouble I am encounter must be do to something else we can’t figure out, because the big picture is not at all that complicated.

Pedro ,
Andy is correct. If you go to FCP system settings (Shift+Q) and then press the effects handling tab, you will see all the file formats that FCP’s real time engine can handle. Anything outside of this list including non standard setups from the list, will have to be rendered.

I’m sorry but I keep saying that I do have my clips matching the standard dv/dvcpro-ntsc, so that’s not the problem and there’s something else that I can’t see to figure out.
thanks

Pedro,
The FCP RT engine is optimized for 720×480 frame size!

Pedro,
I should qualify that by saying for DV NTSC the FCP RT engine is optimizes for a 720×480 frame size.
