Titles and dissolves won’t play w/o rendering
This must be the result of trashing preferences and not setting something properly, but suddenly my system won’t play a simple livetype title w/o rendering. Nor will it show me a dissolve. My sequence preset is DV:NTSC 48KHz. I looked at my livetype project settings and they were on CCIR 601 NTSC 40.27. Thinking I’d found the problem I changed to NTSC DV 3:2 and resaved the projects. But the problem persists in FCP. Sorry if this problem has been posted before. I searched and searched and couldn’t find anything. Any suggestions? Even an older project suddenly won’t play back a simple super. My playback is set for RT:Safe and Video Quality: dynamic. I’m using a Firewire (800) drive with a G5 with 2MB RAM. Worked fine for over a year, but now I’ve got something goofed up. Help!

More info: I am importing the livetype project files, not rendering them out in Livetype. And I just changed the Livetype preview to normal instead of draft quality, but that did not make a difference.

Hope this is revealing. The rendered mov clip still must be rendered before it will play back in the timeline!

Okay, here are more symptoms that are very interesting. I can play back these livetype titles nicely by hitting option p. Once I render the sequence, the titles are extremely fuzzy.

I appreciate the suggestion, however…I’ve tried changing the livetype project settings with no change in results. And, I’ve even opened old projects that had no problems before and now they have this problem – with their original graphics that always played fine in real time. Total mystery!
