What are the settings of the sequence you are working in? What is the format of the original source footage you are trying to render? Does this happen no matter what files you are trying to render? Where are the source files located (internal, external, usb, firewire, etc?)? How much space is left on that hard drive? Where is your render folder? What version of Quicktime are you running? How much space is left on that drive? Do you have read/write permission on your render folder? Have you tried resetting your render folder to a different drive or directory?
These are just the initial questions I think we’d need answers to to start trying to troubleshoot. Obviously that’s a lot I’m asking but if you answer and try different things whatever is causing the problem might present itself.
Hope we can help.

Sean,
Try reconnecting your media – does everything appear normal after you do that even with the warning?
This has happened to me before. Sometimes my media somehow gets disconnected and FCP will show everything offline. When I reconnect – even though no parameters have changed I still get the mismatch error – I just click through it and everything is fine like it was before.
See if it works.

Yeah you hit “W” which cycled through your wireframe modes. The default FCP opens with I believe is IMAGE. If you hit W again your select “IMAGE PLUS WIREFRAME” and if you hit W again you select “WIREFRAME”. Wireframe means no picture, just boxes.
You can also get to these options with the little view options drop down button (the right most button on top of the canvas and viewer).

Tom,
That would work. Your biggest issue for being able to edit in real time is that you said you have animation codec files. Final Cut doesn’t work on animation codec files anywhere near real time as you’ve witnessed. Your options are either rendering them whenever you drop them down, or converting them to a codec like ProRes 422 first like you mentioned.

Hey there,
I’m not noticing what you’re noticing or else I’m just understand incorrectly. When I set an In and an Out in the viewer then edit it into the timeline, the first frame of the clip is where I set the In, and the last frame that I see is the frame that I set the out on. To me, that’s how I would expect it to behave. The playhead is parked on the very next frame so that I’m ready to make my next edit.
Are you seeing something different or am I just misunderstanding? I’m trying this on 5.1.4 btw.

This is basically what I did. Right before I was going to install FCS 2 I used CarbonCopyCloner (free software) to make an image of my entire local hard disk to an external. Then I installed FCS2 on my internal drive. If I ever need to go back to FCP 5 (which I haven’t yet) I can always boot from that drive. It will probably be fairly slow… but at least it’s an option. And if for some reason you ever want to restore back to that point, you can use CCC to re image your local disk.

Are you on Leopard? I’ve heard of some people having some major trouble installing from scratch on a Leopard install. Other than that – the only thing I can think of is a faulty disc.

Bret is correct if all you’re looking for is an auto-render function in the background. If you were looking to render out multiple sequences then all you have to do is select them in the browser and File > Batch Export them with the settings that you choose.

Yeah John’s right – unless you’re using a supported Final Cut Pro native preset (there are a ton of them and there’s rarely a reason you’d be working outside on of them) then you’re not going to get the RT options that you’re looking for. ProRes 640×480 is not a default preset so it’s no wonder you’re not seeing the appropriate RT options.
Try changing your easy set up to a supported FCP preset.

I don’t run anything like that on my mac, I’ve never ran anything like that on my mac, and I wouldn’t run anything like that on my mac. I’ve never had any problems and I’m careful not to do anything stupid.
