render files
Hi everyone. I have a little problem and I am wandering if anyone could help me. I am trying to put some videoclips together with FCP, and for the first time, any clips that I drag down to the timeline, will be unrendered. This has never happened before, and I am afraid this will significantly slow down the editing process. What is going on, and how can I solve the problem? Thanks.

sequence settings need to match clip settings or you will have to render.

#28 Having to render every clip in the timeline
Shane’s Stock Answer #28: When I put a clip in the timline, I have to render it before it will play. Why?
Your clip settings MUST match your timeline settings. If you have DV/NTSC material, you need a DV/NTSC timeline. The frame rate, audio rate and dimensions (4:3, 16:9) all need to match exactly. In Final Cut Pro 6, this is easy, because when you drop a clip into the timeline, it asks if you want to set up the timeline to match the settings of the first clip you drag into it. Click YES and you are ready to go.
However, in FCP 5.1 and earlier, it is a bit trickier.
The most important thing you need to do is properly set up your project from the start, and the best way to do this is to choose a setting from the Easy Setups, located under the Final Cut Pro menu.
Once you do this, you’ll need to create a new sequence. This is because the sequence that is already in your new project is setup for the typical default setting of DV/NTSC, or for the settings of your last project, which might not match what you are currently working with. So delete SEQUENCE 1 and create a new sequence:
This new sequence will contain the settings you chose in the Easy Setup menu, and should match the format you captured.

Thank you that was helpful. Could you please tell me one more thing? When I drag the clips to the timeline, let’s say, to layer 1, another file on layer 2 gets cut off or at least the part that is overlapping. Then I undo the whole thing, and do it again. Sometimes I have to do it 5-6 times until it will be accepted, other times it is ok. What makes the difference?

That depends of the channels you have selected as “Target Channels”.
Are the channels with a little button stuck in the left.
When you make an edit, the video and audio of the edited clip will go to lie on those tracks.
