Renegade Renders
In a c. 75 min sequence, from dv sd, heavy w fx, i have a few clips which are themselves render files. This is on account of a mistake I made years ago, and there is no way of correcting it–I lost the “Rosetta Stone” connecting these files to the original capture media. Most of these clips behave OK, but. . .
There are two of the clips which do not render correctly in ProRes.
So the thing is to Render these two clips in DV and the entire rest of the sequence in ProRes. How do I do this? My FCP 7 isn’t cooperating.
Further: After this I will nest the entire sequence (for sound editing); hope this won’t complicate this render issue.

I don’t understand the FCP manual on this point but I’ve done this in the past. It must be pretty simple. Surely there HAS to be a way to render clips in a format different from the sequence codec.
Thanks.

It’s not meant to work like this. You’re (rightfully) frustrated that workarounds aren’t obvious to compensate for your existing workaround.
I’d take the render files, DRAG THEM TO A BIN (yes, up in the browser) and use either batch export or SEND TO COMPRESSOR to make them prores and then replace the original DV compressed files.
