It’s not rendering!!
Hello,
I am currenly working on a 2G Dual processing G5 with OS10.3.5, using Final Cut 4.5. As of a couple of days ago, Final Cut Pro is no longer rendering my video or audio. When I look at my system settings, my video and render scratches are set to a drive with over 20GB letf on it. I’m cutting a sequence that currently is standing at 1hr40min.
Does anyone have an idea of why this is happening, and what I can do to correct it?
Thanks!

Perhaps your Render settings somehow got changed.
Go to Sequence>Render and check to see if there are checkmarks next to everything you want rendered with that command.
One tip, I usually keep my Sequence>Render settings to the bare minimum, and the next one, Sequence>Render All to the maximum, depending on the workflow I need for that specific project.
Give it a try, if it doesn’t solve it, post back and we’ll see if we can figure out another option.

Hey Thanks for your suggestion but it still doesn’t do anything. The Render time window just flashes for a frame and the clip is still unrendered. Do you think re loading FCP will do it?

possibly coorupt render files.
here are some standard troubleshooting things:
trash prefs:

now the one that hurts: destroy existing render files.
make sure when you re-render that the render files are going somewhere smart like a nice chunky media drive and not the system drive.

Yay! Trash preferences worked!! thank you!

cool
unfortunately, very very often some sort of ‘corruption’ tends to be the issue. meaning the prefs or the drive permissions or the render files. keep that in mind at all times when in FCP.
there are tricks to ‘saving’ your prefs so that you don’t have to redo them all the time. search tutorials at LAFCPUG
