render files issues
I’m trying to export (using compressor), and every time I try, I get an error in FCP that “some files went offline – render files”.
I’ve tried everything I could thing of. I’ve rendered, I’ve re-rendered, I’ve deleted all render files and started over – nothing.
The render folders are names right and in the right place. I even took the tower to an Apple store for tech support, and they agreed everything looked good, as far as folder names/placement. They didn’t know what was going on either.
So when I try to reconnect the media after the error message pops up, I get another message that says “there are no clips selected that have files associated with them”. I’ve even used the render manager, deleted the clips, and re-rendered.
Nothing seems to work. What makes it more puzzling is that the audio render folder keeps popping up in the trash. I’ve moved it to the right place, and poof – it appears in the trash bin again. And some other render files seem to be going there instead of the render folder.
So how do I remedy this? I tried deleted all the render folders, and that didn’t help. I’m going to try it again in a few minutes, just in case.
When I go into File/Reconnect media, I get a bunch of render files missing, along with a bunch of my media files listed under ‘online’.
If I reconnect the online files, I have to render, and the whole thing starts over again. There is no red render bar in the timeline. The video plays audio and video just fine – just can’t export. Any ideas?

Use Render Manager (in the Tools menu) to delete all of your render files, then re-render. Its a good idea to always use Render Manager to delete render files, rather than doing it through Finder.
