We also run FCP-7 and the issue with huge stills is typically the cause of the error message. We also saw fewer problems after adding more memory — up to 14 GB now — and a re-boot often solves the problem without re-sizing the stills. Another solution, especially when doing zooms or moves with the stills, is to do the action in Motion and import the result.

Based on reading several posts, I opened the non-rendering original files (photos) in Photoshop, re-sized them (one was particularly huge) re-saved them with new names, re-imported them into FC and replaced the clips in the timeline. They rendered normally, but when I tried to output the file (to make a master for the DVD) FCP “quit unexpectedly.” So I did a system re-boot, opened FCP, created a new timeline, and copied and pasted the contents from the old to the new. It worked.

This sounds like good advice. The specific scenes that refuse to render are stills (probably JPEG). Will do as you advise tomorrow. Many thanks, Phil

I am running FCP studio 6 on an 8 core Mac Pro with 6 Gigs of memory. Only one of several sequences refuses to render any video whether “preview” or “needs Render.” This sequence also cannot be exported with current settings. Other sequences continue to render as necessary. All sequences are Apple Pro Res 4:2:2 HD 1080i. WTF?
