Bumping an old thread – this has been incredibly helpful. Is there a way to modify this expression to work on a sentence instead of just single words?

So, purely hypothetically, if you were working with a very large project (like a feature) that had hundreds of clips in offline resolution, you would have to re-import the entirety of all of those clips to online the parts you used in your edit? Is it possible to use subclips or something to get around the “import the whole clip” thing? Seems like this would be more of a problem as people go forward with shooting long form projects on P2 and 5D and the like. Thinking about it, obviously RED must use an AMA-transcode-online workflow as well.

I’m not challenging your answer, just wondering if there’s any workarounds that folks use or is it just have a ton of space and time for the online transcode?

Ahaaaaa – not quite but led to the solution. “Same as Source” was checked next to the Video Resolution. Unchecked that and everything is rendering and playing back perfectly.

Thanks for the help!

Hmmm – no I am working off of a FireWire 800 drive and rendered to there as well. Tried rendering to another drive on my machine (non-system drive) but the same issue. Good suggestion though – I have some media creation settings from the last project I worked on, might need to go through and re-check everything.

The critics here are spot on – Even though Final Cut Pro 7 is still available, the total lack of support for new hardware (which Apple has gotten many to invest so heavily in) is a a hurdle that the application cannot get over without improvement. Final Cut Pro X was supposed to solve these problems and it reportedly does – like making everything 64-bit and lifting the terrible 4gb memory cap – but it comes at the expense of features that people need.

I for one have been working on several large documentaries and just cursing FCP7s hardware limitations – I was really hoping that X was going to be a great salve if not a cure. But it’s looking not so good right now.
