Is every item in your sequence rendered? Search this forum for details and importance of that aspect before exporting via F4M. I can’t guarantee this is your problem, but worth a shot.
Also, what format is your material and what are your sequence settings?

I haven’t tried it, but:

scroll down to check out the maps feature. You may already own this.

Also had this problem recently; other forums advised it was some kind of dirt issue, and the only thing to be done would be to forcibly roll the ball around, which seemed to clear it up.

I’m just guessing here, but can you:
-Drag the Sequence clips from the sequence to a new bin
-Open that bin, select all, File-> Batch Export?Cheers,

Hi Victor,
I think all these comments are valid. I will tell you though that about 13 months ago I took the class based on the Weynand book (at FMC Washington D.C.), and it got me incredibly excited and recharged about my career. I learned a great deal in the 3-day class and was so pumped up from the experience that I spent the majority of last year working toward my “Master Certified Pro” status, and just a few weeks ago passed my T3 to become an Apple Certified trainer for FCP.
Two observations based on my experience:
1. There is always something to be learned. I don’t think the certification classes are going to teach you a whole heck of a lot about editing (although the Weynand text is very process-oriented), but they will expose you to some good technique and material. Ultimately, this is not an editing class, it’s an FCP class. You will learn to navigate the system proficiently and, as I tell my students, being able to work quickly will give you the extra time to try more options, which is an incredibly important part of the editing process. If you take this seriously, I’d be surprised if you didn’t at least become a more efficient editor, which can in many circumstances contribute to becoming a better editor.
2. A large part of my enthusiasm for this process comes from my love of the classroom environment. I occasionally see jobs posted where an Apple cert. is preferred, and this may be a good way to weed out folks, but I would approach this as a learning experience more than career development. Often, of course, those things are not entirely unrelated.
All best,

or…
Nest your HDV sequence in an SD sequence. Pan and Scan to taste, then Render like mad.

Can’t remember the details as I rarely have to do this, but the FCP manual has a great bit of advice on applying filters to Multiclips (or parts thereof) under the Multicam section.

Chancler,
Why iMovie? have you tried using Log and Transfer in FCP? 30 seconds on Google indicates this is an AVCHD cam, but I have no experience with it.

Hi Ann,
Anecdotal commentary on this forum would indicate that the problem might be related to using ProRes HQ; if this is an offline edit (and it sounds like it is) you have no need for that codec, and would be better off going to standard ProRes. I have used many merged clips in standard ProRes and never experienced this issue.

I have nothing helpful to say, but oh gawd that is freaky. And oddly appealing.
