Renders black on transitions
HELP! When I scrub my time line, all is fine, transitions show etc. When it gets rendered (and this is not complicated stuff – maybe 3 layers) some areas render black – and stay that way until beginning of next transition. Not only that, they playback (for the few moments before it goes black) in an accelerated speed.
I have checked my compatibility. all footage captured HD. I’m running off an external hd. I am going to trash my preferences now. I am running FCP 5.1.2
another sign is that the color atop the timeline for rendering is a steel gray…not green or orange or red…only in these troubled spots.
any geniuses out there?
thanks so much! Deadline upon me! 🙂

Please give more information as to what you are trying to do, including the names of transition, types of clips, etc.

The FIRST thing I would do is trash my render files and start over. It’s possible for those to get corrupted or exhibit unexpected behavior. I would do that before I even trashed my preferences. When you’ve re-rendered, do you have the same problem?

Thanks for your response.
I did this yesterday and was able to continue working. But I did NOT try re rendering yet. I will do that now and we’ll see.
Well i attempted it with the same results…the section is was sped up and every 2-3 seconds it blacks out…depending on transitions.
