All the above could work but depending on the length of your cut I usually find it easier to online manually by eye. Once you online by media managing / reconnecting media, you have to go through and watch VERY carefully all the mistakes that are bound to crop up. Usually I can overcut faster knowing I’m making the correct cuts rather than leaving it to chance and then fixing all the mistakes.
Best,

Tape is dead? Ahhh! They’re zombies all over my desk!!
Tape might be dead for consumers but no WAY is tape dead in the professional / studio market. Actually tape MIGHT have been dying if HD hadn’t come along, but the studios don’t want to pay to put in HD fiber lines and they definitely don’t want to download a 15 GB uncompressed trailer. HDSR and D5 are very, very, very alive. Digi and Beta SP are still very much kicking too.

I burned through 3 mac towers in about 9 years so I’m agreeing with Walter. Besides the software issues, the amount of strain you put on the boards also comes into play.

[Kyle Cox] “Will converting it to 16:9 solve my playback problems, or will this simply lower my image quality? If it degrades the picture in ANY way, I can’t consider it as an option.”
No it won’t solve your playback problems, and yes you will lose quality. You have to squish the footage 33% in on the y-axis, then blow up enough to fill the frame. No way to go from 4×3 to 16×9 without losing resolution.
[Kyle Cox] “I don’t like the ‘square’ look of NTSC”
Not trying to bust your balls but NTSC can be 16×9 as well, it’s just called anamorphic.
People “lived” with 4×3 for many, many years and all was well. You’ll be good to go.

My vote is for Boris 3D extruded text. Less clunky than invigorator but then again, I haven’t used invig in years.

[Jeremy Garchow] “Also, those titles are still unrendered. I’d check the ‘full’ option in the Sequence menu and render all before layback.”
Wow. Been working in FCP for years and never checked that box. Okay everyone, I take back my rebuttals that everything was fully rendered and will go sit in the corner.

Everything is definitely already rendered pre-layback. I render as I edit.
Here are the seq settings:

[Jeremy Garchow] “Select all, then hit command-option-r to mixdown your audio.”
This fixed it. Multiclip turned off didn’t do anything. Thanks everyone.
PS Shane, no green bars on the jpeg of my timeline above the slates. Working in 8 bit so no need to render boris slates.

Same thing.
It’s really no big deal I’m just curious more than anything. I have much longer timelines with the same setup that don’t ask to write anything.
Thanks though.

I don’t think I have any disabled clips. Here’s a timeline that wants to write to video before an edit to tape layback.
