Unable to render…
Hi –
I have a sequence which is causing me problems. Portions of it simply refuse to
render. When you give it a render command, the render window opens for a split second, then closes as if there was a) Nothing to render or b) The render was small and only needed that amount of time. However, nothing gets rendered.Things I’ve tried so far.
-Made sure there is plenty of room on my RAID. There is.
-Tried every variation of “render all,” “render selection,” “render in to out.”
-Pasted the sequence into a new timeline.
-Restarted FCP and the G5.
-Swore like a sailor.None of this has helped, though the swearing did feel good.
Any tips would be appreciated. I did a search of the forum and haven’t found anything that I haven’t already attempted.

It could be a couple different things…but try this first. In Final Cut go to your sequence drop down window and select render DO NOT HOWEVER CHOOSE anything yet. Look at the drop down window. Do you have checkmarks next to everything listed? If not select each unchecked selection. Repeat until all of the choices have a checkmark next to them then try rendering your sequence. Out of curiousity what is you are trying to render? Text, Audio, video?

They are all checked.
I have now gotten this to work, but I’m not sure I’ll know what happened (other than a splattered file somewhere!)
I have a piece of animation (w/alpha) that was part of the area that wouldn’t render. But I also discovered it wouldn’t even show up in the Viewer when I double-clicked it. I tried simply deleting it from the browser and re-importing, but that didn’t help. Reconnecting didn’t work. It still would show up as “nothing” when I viewed the timeline. Finally had to re-edit the piece into the timeline. This has forced me to rebuild the motion effects I had on it, but at least it’s working.
Thanks for the help.

I had a sililar case where I could not get anything to render. I had created a custom sequence with H264 selected as the compressor. Any clips (HDV) that were on the timeline would not render. I tried it on another computer with the same result. Has anyone else seen this?
Of course I was not planning to actual edit anything in the timeline using H264, but curious nonetheless.

Hi –
One final odd note on this. After I got the corrupted clip back in place and and rendered it, I went off and made some more tweaks. Then, at some point, I started getting a message that the render files were no good and did I want to use the render mgr to purge them…
I had no choice, so I did this, and had to re-render all my efx. Obviously a gnarly timeline that I will avoid once I’m done with it!
