realtime effects not working
Hi, I’m working in FCP on a DV project. In the past I have not had problems with realtime effects needing to be rendered, but suddenly I am on this project. The odd thing, is that I’m working in offline setup, so you’d think it would tax the computer less. I have recently upgraded to FCP 6.0 (though I had the same issues on thie project before the upgrade). I have also upped my ram to 4.5gb, added a new firewire bus so my drive is running off of a separate bus than my graphics card.
Since I have never had this issue before – I’m confused why I have it now, on a simple project with all the upgrades.
I’m running a Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5.
Thanks for your help.

Have you checked the RT tabs in the timeline? Sometimes it’s the simple things…
Btw, what do you mean by ‘offline’ in your post? It’s a G5, so I assume you’re just capturing and editing in DV? That would give you plenty of RT performance. Set the rt to unlimited and resolution and frame rate to dynamic. Also check your sequence settings match the capture. Failing this, trash your prefs and restart. This should make fcp re-profile for RT.
Hope this helps.
