Would it be possible that a bad audio render file from a separate project could affect another project?
(And yes, each project gets re-directed to the appropriate drive.)
Throughput shouldn’t be a problem since one drive is an eSATA 4TB RAIDED for Fast and Safe, and the other is my internal – 3 drives software RAIDED together.
Another oddity, but probably related is that I keep getting dropped frames on capture and ETT, which I’ve never had before.

Hey Jeremy,
I don’t think that’s it, since its happening on two projects I have going, each with media and renders on separate drives. And one project doesn’t even have any audio renders.

Perhaps I was unclear. The issue is when Editing to Tape, not in the timeline. So no, the auto-select buttons do not come into play.
And I was only doing a video insert only. There was a fade up on the audio track. I don’t see why that should come into play, if I’m not editing audio. To me, that is a bug.
Shane, yes I agree. I try to make it a practice to insert edit only between cuts, even if its just one frame I have to fix in the middle. However, with frame accuracy, technically this should not be necessary, just good operating procedure based on editing tape to tape for those of us who used to actually touch tape in the old days.
As for the 4th point in the edit… was simply my poor logic trying to figure out why FCP wouldn’t accept the insert edit. Afterall, it does do some rather illogical things sometimes.

Exporting a quicktime is essentially what a render is. Ad replacing with the render file is the same thing. And you have one less file taking up space on your drive rather than “baking in”.
@Dave – I think when you control B a clip it then becomes unrendered. I could be wrong.
One downside did just occur to me though. If you use the render manager, you are in danger of losing your clip.

Ah Victor. I think you’ve gotten to meat of what would be unadvisable about using this method. Of course I always duplicate the timeline so all is not lost. But still, you have a point.
I was just floating the idea out there. Its just such a pain when you have to rerender every time you pick up a clip and move it ever so slightly of put it in a different timeline.

Well I’m thinking in terms of after applying a color correct or a blur or some such. I would think it would make it easier then to shorten, move, or otherwise alter that particular clip as you adjust your cut.
I’m just talking rendering a clip, not a section, and then replacing it.

Well that stinks. I was hoping it would scale the effect.
Perhaps I’ll send to Motion and see if it works any better that way. I hate the back and forth between AE and FCP — its just a pain.

I second Zach’s opinions. While I great respect for a number of you other guys. This is not something that happens just to newbies.
And Peter, yes, it is something Apple should address. I thought they had since I hadn’t had this happen since version 5. Today it hit me on a brand spankin new MacPro 8 core running Snow Leopard and FCP 7.0.1.
As Shane suggested, we did a permissions rebuild. Thankfully autosave at 5 minute intervals had a usable version for us. (We tried the create a new project, move everything, etc method, but FCP crashed on creating a new project command.)

I’m fully licensed. Also i think the demo version will render a red X through the shot but still render the lens flare too.

The footage and the timeline are both ProRes 422 LT.
I hadn’t thought of that, but I see what you’re onto.
