sure, Dave… that’s exactly what I’ve done. I’ve exported the 70 minute 29.97 SD show unpressed to 1080, imported it, put the bug on, rendered it and it plays three times normal speed. I’m so confused I don’t know what to try next. trashed prefs, no help. re-captured media, checked settings coming it, sequence settings, exports settings. I’m totally out of ideas. I assume it’s operator error… but I’ll be damned if I know what it is. I have other projects that play, render, export, etc fine… but not this one. mahalo for the assistance.

wow. I’m sure that’s a reasonable suggestion, dave… but it scares me to death. this show is an hour and forty five minutes long and the renders will take FOREVER and a day! just makes me nervous… if I can find a workaround, I can lay it off and not have to go that route. I know it’s a what if, but it makes me weak in the knees, ifyaknowhatimean. guess I’ll think about it… I know there are a ton of render files. mahalo for the suggestion.

ok… trashed prefs using digital rebellion manager. prefs went away. returned to project and set some of the prefs the way I like them… tried the render again… same problem. also, some of my renders make the video turn completely black… like gone. audio remains intact and clip is still there… just not visible. other clips in same sequence from same source, still visible. yikes. you recommend digital rebellion pro maintenance too? few bucks, but mite be worth it?

so… download digital rebellion preference manager? did that. but the setup includes final cut express, pro X, pro X trial, and studio. I’m running fcp 6… that’s none of those, is it? sorry for my ignorance… appreciate ur help.

ok… I will. but aren’t the missing preferences a problem? what do I do about that? I can’t restore them from my other fcp program on another computer because you can’t modify the preferences folder. I assume the FCP User Data file was deleted somehow… maybe by accident the last time we trashed prefs.

well, that’s a good question, dave… I just went to do that however, and can’t find any of the preference files or folder. in library – preferences – no com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist, no FCP User Data folder, and not 6.0 prefs, obj cache, or pref cache. hmmmm…. now what do I do? reload them somehow? maybe that’s the problem?

just text tool in FCP 6. never had anything like this happen. and if I put a drop shadow on it, it pulls up a frame that I deleted to replace the existing video behind the graphic in the timeline. wtf?!?!?

OK… I can’t use XDCAM Browser because it is apparently for FCP 7… I’m FCP 6.0.8. However, supposedly I can use the XDCAM Log and Transfer Plugin since it says it’s for FCP 6.0.3 or higher. But… when I try to open it to install, I get this: “XDCAM EX Log and Transfer Plugin 1.2.pkg can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.” Obviously, it’s from Sony. To answer your question, Andrew… I’ve tried it both ways and get the same error message each time. But apparently my plugin is not installed… so I assume that’s the problem. But how do I work around that? Any ideas?
