the bogus render

[Dan Archer]

I have had that hapen several times. I would like to know as well. Shutting down avid and sometimes the machine will somketimes make avid recognize the rendered files so i think maybe it does actually render them.

[Satesh Ramjattan]

I agree, but I don’t think you have to close Avid. When it happens at work, closing the sequence and reopening does the trick.

that works for me as far as getting it to actual render after that but it doesn’t pen back upas renderd. I have to wait for another phat render.
This is why I was wondering if it was written. I feel like it is. It goes though the motions and makes the client wait and all and I do believe the buggyness now in media tool revolves around these files.
Ever notice how after this starts happeneing, thats when media tool stops showing files you know exist?

[Satesh Ramjattan]

I have noticed that Media tool thing as well. I wonder if it a Boris Continuum thing, because it only does when I have one of those plugins on, specifically the glows.
How about you? Or is it just the native effects?

When I’ve had this problem in the past, precomputes were being created, the sequence was just not linking to them. One thing that I’ve found that can cause it is a motion effect. I had some shots that I was adding pulldown to, then adding an effect (probably CC) on top of that. It wouldn’t render for anything until I removed the motion effect. Put another add pulldown motion effect and the problem would come back. I also found (by trial & error) that I could get it to render by slipping the shot a few frames in one direction or the other.

Usually closing the bin that the sequence is in, then reopening takes care of it.

[Grinner Hester]

hmmm
good discussion. We may be gettng close.
I use alot of BCC glows and I use alot of time warps. I’m thinkin timewarp may be the candidate although I dont rule out bcc.
you useing alot of timewarps?

[Satesh Ramjattan]

I do motion effects, but I only notice with the BCC.

[Grinner Hester]

I hate to admit it but I use BCC glows in dang near every sequence.
The bogus render does’nt always happen on that effect. Are you saying with yours it does happen on that effect every time or on any effect with the bcc glow on that sequence?
Here. it tends to happen when I have effects stacked… but often that stack does include the glow.
I will switch to only sapphire glows for a while and report back.

… on that. Have you noticed that sapphire glows will alter you video levels? They clip em where bcc glows don’t. Also, I like how the bcc glows saturate the colors… not just white or a sigle color ya desinate.

Hi Grinner — in Sapphire, try turning off Clamp Output To Legal. It defaults On to prevent outputting too-hot colors.

Hope that helps;
