Activity Forums Apple Final Cut Pro Legacy Problems with rendering

  • Problems with rendering

    Posted by Keith Herman on December 29, 2008 at 11:58 pm

    Hi. I’ve been using final cut pro for years now, and i really know the program well. (at least i thought i did). I am editing some video and audio and every once in a while, almost all of the clips get the red line above the clip ( meaning that they need to be rendered) so I have to stop and rerender them and its taking forever. A 10 second clip of audio takes around 15 mins to render. They will be completely rendered and then out of the blue, they will get the red line again, without me moving clips or anything. The clips are located on an external hard drive connected via firewire. I am working on a mac pro with 16gb ram and 8 cores so i dont think its a computer problem.

    Let me know any thoughts to fix this. thanks!

    What are your sequence settings? And what type of video are you editing?

    To me it sounds like your sequence does not match your video files.

    There are no “technical solutions” to your “artistic problems”.

    Just upgraded from a G5 to a Mac Pro and Final Cut Studio 2. Captioning seems to be in conflict (pixelated)over images that have ‘any’ effect applied even after rendering or imported Motion images. Captions work perfectly on clean images. I never had this problem with the G5.

    Can anyone help?

    William please dont try and take over someone else’s post by asking a unrelated question. Thread jacking is kinda rude.

    Please start a new thread for your question.
