Hi!
In sequence settings,
“render all YUV material in high-resolution YUV”
is the one selected.

Yes, i have selected the right section when rendering. .
This always worked in the past. Dont know why it’s not working now.

Also, to clarify, it shows it is in the process of rendering, but when it’s done, nothing actually got rendered, and the red bars are still there.

Do u think trash preferences is probably the only option left?

Alex,

Thanks. But the version of iMovie that is available on the app store is for a later version of OS than the one I am running, Yosemite.

Thanks Shane,

My macbook is old enough that it does indeed have a FW400 port:-)

As far as HDV in Easy Setup goes, I know the video was shot 1080i
However, I don’t know the frame rate. While i can choose “all rates” on the Easy Setup dialog box, there is a a dropdown called “Use” where i have to choose HDV-1080i with an accompanying frame rate. Not sure how to confirm on HV30 camera itself which frame rate my footage was already shot in since I know the settings on the camera were changed since then. I think it was shot 24 fps, but i can’t be 100% sure.
Do u have any suggestions for this? Thanks

[nick meyers] “ok , i sont think this is a standard FCP sequence setting,
so that *could* affect RT [performance, but i would guess only for the video.

try changing your sequence settings to oe of the offered ones, see what happens.
my guess is it will remain the same.”

I don’t know which standard setting to select, it seems none of them match my video clip properties. For instance there is nothing in the standard FCP seq settings that is prores LT and 640×480 frame rate. I also tried changing the aspect ratio in seq settings to standard NTSC 3:2 and that didn’t work either. Additionally, when i dropped the video in it says there are no matching sequence settings so it creates the sequence with the matching setting for me.

As far as the audio beeping, yes it is beeping. And when i checked again it isn’t 2 red render lines but 1 red line and 1 that is either purple or blue or grey (hard to tell the exact color of that other render line).

[Raju Bhai]

yeah, the only differences i could see in the settings was
1) the 32 bit float (thanks Michael for confirming that this is ok!)
and
2) the data rate difference btw the imported audio and the video clip audio (still not sure if this could be a cause for rendering issue or if it is normal)

SO, yes Nick, this is weird indeed. And Michael, Nick, I know it’s not an issue with Ableton. The reason being is that i’ve used Ableton audio files before in FCP7 and never had an issue. The only difference betw then and now is that then my video clips were full 1080 frame size and now the video i am using is small 640×360 frame size, and while i had transcoded to prores 422 in the past, this time, since i am using lower quality video, i transcoded to prores 422 LT instead. But my sequence settings are fully setup to match the new video. So i really don’t see where the issue could be.

Nick I like your suggestion to trash preferences, but i watched the Larry Jordan video where he said only trash them if it really is an issue. I’m not sure in this case, but perhaps it’s worth a shot?

And yeah, Michael, the sequence only needs rendering when i drop the ableton audio file in. When i import it into the timeline, 2 red render lines appear at top.

[Raju Bhai]

I Right-clicked on sequence and checked items properties and it says 32-bit floating point!

I went back to my transcode settings which were to transcode to default settings of prores 422 LT, in which i double checked and it says transcoding to 16bit. When I checked item properties of the video clip’s audio track it says 16. And the sequence settings say 16bit as well. So then why do the item properties for the sequence say 32bit floating when i right clicked on it? It should say 16bit, right?

I DON”T UNDERSTAND WHAT”S GOING ON.

Agan, my issue is that i imported a 48khz 16bit AIFF into the timeline and any edits i do are requiring rendering.

[Raju Bhai]

simple project, i have only 4 audio tracks total (i.e. 2 stereo audio tracks). One stereo pair came attached with the video clip & the other pair is the AIFF file i am importing.

[Raju Bhai]

hi Shane,

I did the AIFF file this time, but same issue, still needs to be rendered.

There are no differences between the imported audio file and the sequence settings. And the only difference between the imported audio file and the video clip audio (under individual clip item properties) is in the data rate. But no mention of data rate when i viewed Biscardi’s tutorial. I don’t know if different data rates is an issue or not. And doesn’t seem to be a “data rate” option in the sequence settings.

[Raju Bhai]

My setup is very basic on this project. i have a video of someone talking and so the video and audio of that person talking are together in one clip. I transcoded that to prores 422 LT.

The only other element is that I am importing a song into the timeline and going to have that play in the background of the video and talking. Very simple, simplest thing i’ve ever done.
But I need the ability to do a lot of cutting and pasting of the audio track and change the volume envelope. And it is requiring me to render for anything i do from the first time i just drop the audio clip into the timeline.

I watched Walter Biscardi’s tutorial on how to match the clips with the sequence setting so there aren’t these rendering issues. When i dropped the video clip into the timeline FCP asked if i want to change sequence setting to that of the clip and i said yes. I checked and the video clips’s settings are indeed the same as the sequence settings.

So now i went to item properties -> format for the imported audio clip. For the audio clip there is no frame rate, size, compressor or aspect ratio. It’s just a wav audio clip. And the sampling rate and bit depth are the same as those on the sequence settings, which in this case is 48khz and 16bit. So seems to be fine there. The only difference I can see is the DATA RATE between the video clip’s audio (786.9 k/sec) and the imported audio wav file (187.5 k/sec) . I don’t know if this should be the same. There is no setting for DATA RATE on the sequence settings. I find it only when i look at the item properties for the individual clips.

On the sequence settings there is a tab called video processing with options for YUV rendering, i don’t know what all that is or if that has something to do with the rendering issue I am having. Currently mine is set at “Render in 8bit YUV”.

OK I hope someone can please shed light on this issue for me so i can get started with the editing of this project.
thank you
