    Simple title takes forever to render in FCP X…stumped

    Posted by Nick Natteau on July 8, 2011 at 11:13 pm

    I have 2008 (2 x 2.8 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon) MacPro desktop with 8 GB of RAM and 1 Terabyte hard drive that’s 70% free.

    I’m running FCP X on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and can’t figure out why a simple animated title from the Titles menu in FCP X is taking forever to render.

    I dropped it into the timeline 10 minutes ago and it’s still 0% rendered. Nothing’s going on in the Background tasks window. Under Rendering it still says 0% rendered after 10 minutes.

    What could possibly be going on that FCP X can’t perform a simple title render (“Gradient Center”) from within its own program?

    I must be doing something wrong, otherwise has anyone anyone else encountered this problem?

    Theirs a option to turn Background rendering on and off perhaps its set to off?

    Hi Greg,

    Thanks for our help. No it was set to “on” but I discovered that a simple restart of FCP X solved the problem. Thanks all the same.
