Uncompressed TIFFs
I have just imported 359 uncompressed TIFFs for a 15 sec animation I rendered from 3D Studio Max. I cannot play a preview of it in the FCP as it just comes up with ‘unrendered’
I am running the latest Final Cut Studio on a 17″ MBP with 4gb ram.
I am brand new to FCP and had the seller of the MBP install it for me, so may be his settings are not best for this. Any thoughts or advice would be very gratefully accepted.

Mark,
You will find the render commands under the sequence tab.
I usually compile my image sequences using quicktime before bringing them into FCP.
In QT go to “Open image Sequence” and then “save as”Bring your new QT into Final Cut. Create a new sequence and drag and drop your QT into
the sequence to auto-setup a sequence with your clip settings.Then render

Hi,
as andy mentionned it’s best to compile your sequence in Quicktime. But if you want to deal with it in FCP, you might have to change two settings:
Final Cut Pro>user preferences>Still/freeze duration, set it to 1 frame
And then Final Cut Pro>System setting>memory and usage>still cache, drag it to a higher value, probably 100% as FCP will put your sequence in cacheBut be aware that regarding your codec settings for the sequence, FCP might still need to render it. Try tiff as a codec in your sequence.
Cheers,
David
