That sounds to a HD with messed up directories.
I recommend you running DiiskWarrior or TechTools.

If you are editing the Canon filees without transcoding, you are doing wrong.
h264 are not supported by FC.
You need to transcode to Prores.

No problems on deleting the render files.
in fact I think many times is a healthy practice to trash all render files before exporting a master.

[Spencer Averick] “Andy, you’re probably exporting at 5,000 Mbps, not Kbps.”
Sorry, but your maths are a bit off as well.
1920×1080 10b Uncompressed YUV/422 is around 1.200 Mbps (1.2 Gbps).
With 5.000 Mbps you could stream 4K10b Uncompressed YUV/422.
5.000 Kbps is OK for DVDs MPEG2 or web H264.

Thanks for the info, Shane.
The truth is that I’ve never explored the “modify” options.

[Shane Ross] “Actually…yes. Highlight the clips in the Browser, go to the MODIFY menu and choose MAKE OFFLINE, or press SHIFT-D. You’ll be presented with options. Choose the one you want.”
Hi Shane,
Will that erase the clip from the HD?

If you drag and drop or copy and paste a sequence from one project to another, the sequence clips won’t show on FC’s Browser, but the project keep track of them.
Select everything on the sequence and drag it to the Browser.
You will get a prompt “Creating Master Clip’, then you will get all the clips on the Browser.

You mean erase a clip from your computer from inside FC?
No. Thanks God is a “no destructive” application.
The only change you can do to a clip from inside FC is on the TC.

[Maria Gargiulo] ” Working in FCP 6″
Which version?
Some of the versions, (at least 6.0, 6.1 and 6.3, that I can remember) were full of bugs.
Aside the FC version you are using, think that a badly maintained Mac OS system will cause every kind of troubles.
Star by trashing FC preferences. Use this: https://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
Repair your disc permissions, and if things do not improve, get your self DiskWarrior.

[David Eaks] ” have you actually tried the method outlined in Larry’s article?”
David, that’s a very poor workflow and I would recommend it only for plain 8b stuff transcoding.
Compressor with the “Frame Control OFF” is like using QT Conversion. Its only adds the Geometry Tab options, the bunch of Presets and the MPEG-2 codec.
The Frame Control ON allows “Floating Point” processing, and the use of the high quality filters for resizing, fields managing and retiming. Frame Control OF means that any 10b stuff will be crunched to 8b because everything is processed at that bit depth.
I’m lucky because I’ve never been constrained for the need of fast turn over. But I think that even needing to finish thing fast, there are certain processes where you have to forget about the time and allow the one that allows the best quality option, even if takes longer.
One of the most critical processes in postproduction is resizing, because a poor resizing will degrade the picture. So, for me doesn’t makes much sense to try to save a bit of time on a process that may ruin a job that may have taken days or weeks or even months.
The same happens with de-interlacing; a process where the quality will depends on the filter you use.Few years ago I’ve spent time making some serious tests on downscaling. I tried all tools I had at hand: FC, Compressor, Motion, AE, VideoPurifier and SHAKE.
Since then, I only use SHAKE for downscaling. It has 10 different filters for up/downscaling, and the one I use (Sinc) allows to keep a small web video as crisp as the original HD source.
The process its doesn’t take longer than with Compressor.
