[Chris Borjis] “[Alexander Kallas] “FCP will ask to automatically set the matching codecs for the imported media without revealing them,”

I’ve seen that cause a lot of problems when for example, your first clip is a title clip rendered as a quicktime animation from after effects.
I can’t remember how many times my former motion graphics guy did this and was wondering why the real time playback wouldn’t work and everything needed rendering.
“

In defense of Ken, he was not complaining about render problems, just the codec used. Shane answered this. Also the receiver of the exported QT file could just “get info” on this to find the codec. This now cannot be multi-codec, which is to where this thread has drifted.
Your above post treats the new user as technically ignorant. Even these guys check the format of their assets before assembly. The rest learn quickly when they hit the ensuing problems….

[Michael Gissing] “Hate to be rude Ken but how can you be editing a sequence without already knowing what your codec is?

Basic workflow practice means you really must know what your source and sequences codecs are. All editing systems work best when the right match is made between camera codecs and sequence settings”

……..but FCP will ask to automatically set the matching codecs for the imported media without revealing them, and this is probably what Ken did.
As Shane pointed out Ken just failed to look back at what FCP had set.

Did you try DiskWarrior?

Even just installing software can scramble your directories, so definitely do it now, and every time your Mac slows down.

Clean up your directories with DiskWarrior.

Thanks Jerry, I’ll try it.
MacScan was OK but still showed the pop-up.

[Jerry Jorgenson] “his isn’t a cookie, it’s a certificate warning. There was some problem with looking up the certificate. What it’s supposed to do is warn you about sites where the certificate isn’t to be trusted–which doesn’t mean the site is necessary bad, there are several reasons.
If you weren’t going to Facebook, then the site that you were at is fudging something
“

thanks Jerry, the weird thing is that I was shopping online at LLBean, should I contact them?
Surely they are reputable and would not fudge something

[Christopher Thuesen] “my older fcp projects is affected by this audio delay now, even though it wasn’t a problem during the editing back then.
“

Christopher, it might be easier than we think, try trashing the FCP prefs.

What audio mode did you record in?
The PH mode supports uncompressed 16-bit LPCM 2-channel digital audio recording for
high-quality sound in addition to Dolby Digital 2-channel audio.
The HA/HE mode employs Dolby Digital 2-channel audio recording only.
