    Posted by Stefan Maisnier on August 13, 2009 at 5:38 pm

    I am editing a package of video and stills in fcp 6 and for some reason that I cannot figure out the stills are intermittently not rendering in the timeline and if they do show up rendered in the timeline they are then being outputted as black holes when i export it to quicktime. I have increased the still cache to the max and even tried adding a soft focus just to make my mac see an effect there and nothing seems to work. Thanks in advance for the help.

    Hi Stefan!

    Whats the format of your stills?
    .png .tiff .jepg .psd?
    Is it some kind of CMYK?
    Try to open a “balckhole image” in a photo editor or Prewiew and “save as” .jpg

    reimport the new file,
    can you output it now?

    It could maby altso be a renderfile issue… Try deleting your renderfiles…?

    Best regards,
    Andreas
