you can force source patches to disappear by using the keyboard shortcuts and targeting a track number that doesn’t exist eg if you have just two video tracks then press F6 followed by 3 … and you can get it back by re-targeting an extant track eg F6, 1. Same goes for audio tracks (using F7 and F8). See if pressing F7, 1 and F8, 2 will recover these errant patches

Just to add to all the other sage advice .. no, even if the 2 macs were identical. The FCS apps serialise themselves to the hardware. If you take a boot drive from one mac and place it another identical mac then FCP would not run in that mac without reinstalling/reserialising.

absolutely … unless something weird is going on then the QT is simply a re-wrapped version of the original image data ie the old MXF wrapped is exchanged for a QT wrapper but the content remains the same

Bottom line: If it looks better unrendered (at preview quality) then you are doing something wrong …
You might want to post details about what it is you’re doing and what it is about the full quality render that detracts from the look you’re after.
All that said, you could change the render resolution to 50% (of sequnece frame size) in the Sequence Settings… window >> Render Control tab … but I don;t know if that will give the result you’re looking for

from Leitch Velocity Jeremy (previously DPS Velocity)
off the top of my head, the only system I think of that might transcode these is Rhozet’s Carbon Coder
… you might want to have them export these for you in a more suitable intermediate format

every Mac will have its own RT profile. compare the RT settings between the 2 machines ,,, see if the latter’s playback frame rate is set to Dynamic where the former is set to Full etc
or maybe the machine you created it on is simply better spec’d for the job?

(Actually you can, Walter. DVDSP is quite capable of accepting a QT movie file and doing the compression itself.)

Under the Render Selection submenu you will see that there are many different conditions than you might want to render or not … you must select all the conditions that you want to be applied prior to invoking the render selection command
Heres an example: suppose I place a clip in the timeline that FCP can play back in full quality without need for any render whatsoever, and then I place next to it a clip that FCP can play back only in preview quality and finally I place one that can not be played back at all without rendering. and I then select all three and choose Render Selection … how should FCP handle this? should it render all clips even though one of them actually doesn’t need rendering at all, and another can be previewed anyway without render? FCP allows us to control what is and isn’t rendered by any given command through our choices in the Render sub-menu’s. So in this case I could choose that Render Selected only applies to Needs Render clips, or to Needs Render and Preview quality etc
