  • rendered file will not go away

    Hi all, I have a weird question. Have you ever rendered a file on the timeline, then deleted that file and replaced it with another one… only to find out that there is a 3-5 frame remnant of the original rendered file that will not go away? I have tried everything… re-rendering the new file, moving things around… etc. Funny thing is, if there is nothing on v1 (just blank space) the remnant doesn’t show up, as soon as I place something in that exact spot the remnant reappears! This is happening in two spots on my timeline. I can’t get rid of it, it just shows up during playback like it’s part of the timeline.

    Any help is greatly appreciated… I need to figure this out so I can get the final done.

    FCP 6.03, macpro 8 core, 8 gig ram, 8 TB storage

    thanks again… I need help!

    You could use your Render Manager to blow away all of your render files, but if you’re talking about a large sequence that would require a long time to re-render, that’s probably not what you want. Did you trash your preferences?

    The sequence is probably corrupt. Create a new empty sequence, copy all clips from the old one to the new one and see if your problem disappears.

    Richard and John, thanks. Simply making a new sequence did the trick.
