sequence Setting…why do i have to render after each cut…

[Jerry Hofmann]

You need to create a sequence setting that matches the format of the source material… select one of these clips and type cmd+9 to open the properties of the clip. Then create a custom sequence setting that matches… then you won’t have to render. (using the same codec and frame size which in your case is AVI.

OK, I attempted this and it wont let me change the frame rate to 15 fps and there doesnt seem to be an option for avi format. . It is telling me the frame rate change will be ignored and to change it in the editing timesbase menu. The editing timebase menu does not give me an option for 15fps.

So when i set up my sequence, I go to the Audio/Video Settings, then change all my stuff in sequence presets coorrect and i am editing the preset for DVNTSC 48k, making a copy and inputting my prefs according to my camera which was shot at 320×240 at 15fps and captured as an avi. data rate of 324.9 (i dont see an option in this menu for a data rate). What am i doing wrong?

You can’t change anything about a Sequence once you start editing in it. You need to create a new Sequence with your custom settings and then start editing in that Sequence.
