Shoot, sorry, it was a while ago so I don’t really remember. I think it’s possible I just restarted my computer and it started working but, if that doesn’t help, you can maybe try trashing your FCP preferences, a la here: https://support.apple.com/kb/ts1846

I’m still seeing this problem in CS5.5. The only fix I’ve found is to do my time remapping then nest that clip. Then you can apply keyframes like scaling and positioning in your original timeline.

You are a genius. It’s not the prettiest solution, but it definitely works for what I need.

I don’t think so, because it’s WAY off. Like if I click on a well-lit area of skin, it’ll give me like dark blue or something.

Up until the past month or so, It exported without any aperture selected, not sure what caused it to change…

Ok, that’s very good to hear. However, if I had to choose between an external Firewire drive, and my computer’s internal HD, which would you recommend? Thanks for your help!

Thanks for all your help guys. This is a new station for me, and it seems like maybe it isn’t just the settings after all. The videos glitch a lot, report dropped frames etc. even when I’m playing it at the lowest quality with safe RT. Granted I’m usually editing off a server, but this didn’t happen with the old computer. It also occasionally gives me an I/O error, or freezes in the middle of exporting.

This, plus the fact that compressor takes something like 15x real time to export HD makes me think something big is wrong. It’s a 2.3 GHz PPC tower with 5.5 GB of RAM, which I think should be able to handle this. Anyone have any suggestions?

EDIT: Just a thought: I read on another forum that power issues can cause rendering issues. I’m running a tower and a monitor as opposed to the iMac I used to have. This is in addition to a PC and monitor that have always been here. Could this be something?

Well, it seems like video exported from my computer transcodes slower than video exported from other computers. I’m assuming there must be some setting that’s different, however as far as I can tell, we’re all using the same export settings. So I figure some setting somewhere must be different, and I’m trying to find it.

Hey, thanks for the great links. Unfortunately, it looks like little endian isn’t the problem. Do you know of any way to get more detail on how something is encoded than what QT gives you? Thanks!
