Number 27, your render is ready

[Andy Edwards]

maybe I’m missing your point, but doesn’t your FCP software render when you leave it alone and are working in another app? My system does 🙂 I leave FCP open and go into Photoshop or AE for a while, when I come back into FCP, the Render menu box is laying ontop saying render complete. Is it not in the preferences that you can set it to start rendering after a certain amount of time when FCP is not active. Not trying to stir up a cat fight, but maybe you need to check your preferences and see if it will start rendering for you.

Now the chime or bell issue is another matter. I don’t kow how many times After Effects scared the hell out of me in the middle of the night with its render done chime! maybe we can all submit some tips to Apple’s feedback form and get the ball rolling.

I been requesting this to Apple for years.
And not just for FCP.

I want an OS-wide system.
When you copy files on the desktop for example, OSX will make a little ‘cluck’ noise when it’s done.

Great but not enough. I want it so that any OSX progress bar (copying files, rendering in any App, exporting from FCP, saving, safari downloads, adding complex filter effects in Photoshop etc. etc,) has a little tick box in it, when the progress bar windows shows up and starts to move, you can then select the tick box knowing you’ll get a specific alarm sound, which you set in your OSX Preferences.

Surely it’s just a simple OSX skin change, to add a button like this?

Can I copyright this please? 😉

In fact can we start a list of names on the cow for those in favour and get this sorted now!!
