Always need to render audio on clip import

Hi,
I use Streamclip or to convert my AVI files (from a digital camera) to DV so I don't have to render immediately on import. All works ok with the video, but I always need to render audio on import. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what settings to use on Streamclip and / or FCE?
Thanks,

Do not convert to DV. Convert to QuickTime using the DV codec. The export to DV setting in Streamclip is for DV Stream and is used only by iMovie.

  • Send to FCP always needs a render

    Hi, I'm working with some ProRes 422 (HQ) footage in Color and I click the add all button and begin the render, when I select send back to FCP it says not all your clips are rendered even though all my clips have completed next to them in the render que.
    Once back in FCP I have a green line and have to render again. Why is this occurring?
    All latest FCS3 updates.

    Hi, thanks for the answers. OK the 'not all clips are rendered' question is answered as I did have slugs in my timeline.
    Both apps are definitely set as ProRes 422 (HQ) but maybe the res is changing because my footage comes in at 1440x1080 but comes back from Color as 1920x1080, there is no option inside Color for 1440x1080. So maybe that is why? Though I only get the green render bar over my sent back footage sometimes, not all the time and it's always the same camera being used and imported in the exact same way.

  • Always need to render

    hi,
    I was hoping to get an answer to a problem I've been dealing with for far too long.
    Whenever I make a change in a clip imported to the timline (add dissolve, effect), a red line pops out and I have to re-render the clip.
    The clip's format is prores 422 and it matches the sequnce's settings.
    does anyone have an idea of what's the problem might be? Is that the way it supposed to be?
    thanks,
    or

    Click on a source clip in the FCP browser and type Command + 9 to see the Item Properties. Either report the Item proerties for the clip, or if easier, take a screen shot of the Item Properties and post the screen shot here.
    Next, click anywhere in the sequence timeline and type Command + 0 {zero} to see your sequence settings. Either report you Sequence Settings, or if easier, take screenshot of the sequence settings and post the screen shot here.
    Have you applied effects, color correction, etc. or are you compositing the clips? In the top left corner of the timeline is a button labled "RT", is it set to Unlimited RT?

  • Always need to render - even music tracks, why?

    I'm sure this has been covered before but while I can find lots of discussion I can't find an actual answer searching the forums..."FCP Workflows" doesn't deal specifically with this media.
    Trying to edit Photo JPEG video 1280x720, 30fps together with JPEG stills of about 2.7kx2.0k pixels. The Sequence settings were set by FCP to match the 1280x720 video media- Photo JPEG compressor. Render settings are the default for that sequence. Every time I do anything to the stills- they need rendering. Any filter, dissolves etc, this is very frustrating. I never remember this being an issue before. All the media is on fast internal drives and plays fine. EXTERNAL VIDEO is OFF.
    Even worse on this and other jobs editing HDV all the music I import has to be rendered in the timeline regardless of it's format, AIFF or MP3. What am I doing wrong?
    Season greetings to all FCP users!

    I've tried importing AIFF audio as well and it still needs rendering. Its 44Khz/16bit
    When using AIFF in FCP, it needs to be 48khz, 16 bit. 44.1khz is CD audio and is not compatible with FCP without rendering.
    I suppose one way or the other it all has to be converted to 48khz sample rate. I thought FCP did that on the fly?
    That's what rendering is; converting to the proper format for your Sequence. To avoid rendering and rerendering, convert PRIOR to importing.

  • AVCHD clip's always needs to get rendered when inserting. Media info about .mts file attached

    Hi
    I have previously discussed this problem in another thread. I have .mts files that I insert in a project (project preset set to PAL-AVCHD Full-HD)....when inserting i always need to render the clips and as many peole have mentioned, this should not be needed, instead PrEl should take care of this by itself..and it really sunds weird if it doesnt...
    So, why is this happen...i get so frustrated when I have to re-render the clips all the time, since also - it takes a looong time for jsut tiny tiny clips ? I posted the hardware specs I have two days ago in this same forum, and it looks from the answers I got that this hardware should be enough for not having to wait several minutes to jsut add a 6 second AVCHD clip ?
    Please look at below image that is a screenshot from MediaInfo about the details for my .mts file I'm trying to add - resulting in new rendering needed, plus the fact that it takes about 5 minutes to render it ??
    Please, suggestion or solutions ? I'm lost...I got feedback yesterday that this is a known problem with both PrEl 8 and PrEl 9 ..that AVCHD clips needs to get rendered manually when they are added....i.e a known bug in these versions ?? Any experience ? How can I move forward, I have problems to understand that such bug should exist without anysolution and/or workaround since I see this as a feature that MUST work for people not getting crazy :-)

    Hi Neale
    many thanks for your time trying to help me out.....
    Please see my answers below in bold, hope you and/or someone else can help me with some further answers
    Are you opening a project created in PRE8 with PRE9? If yes, that is the most likely cause of the problem. Create a new PRE9 project and see if the same problems after you import the clip and save the project. No, I'm only working in Pr 8.0 - I have this problem as soon as I add a clip..not that into the different formats, just know that the best possible output from my camera (Canon HF10) should be AVCHD..thats why I added teh detailed info from "MediaInfo". can you tell from that info I'm correct, i.e that the .mts file is really AVCHD as expected ? Just to help me confirm that. So, I havent been using PrEl 9.0...another person two days ago told me that PrEl 9 also got similar problems as I reported for my PrEl 8.0 ?
    When you first added the clip to your project did you receive any messages that the file was not suitable for the format? If so did you accept the offered preset? If you didn't start a new PRE9 project and this time accept the offer. No, I did not get any messages as all about the format. Occasionally I get something like "Do you want to fix the quality in the clip" ..cant recall exactelly what the message is, but its for sure nothing about the format
    When you put it into the project, did you have a red line running the length of the timeline? If you do then your preset is not correct (this is purely PRE9. PRE8 always required rendering AVCHD footage).Yes, always when I add a clip I get this red line. If I understand everything correctly this means I have to hit ENTER key to create a preview file....thats my second problem - as soon as I do that, it renders the clip very very slowly although I should have prety good hardware (According to spec posted two days ago).
    So, as a summary. Do you think that buying Premiere Elements 9.0 should get rid of this problem when adding AVCHD ? If that is the case, I feel I just want to be sure about this and that I will not experience the problem again. Can it not just be some setting that is, by default, not correct in Premiere El 8.0 that is causing this or is this really a known bug without fixes available from Adobe?
    Best Regards

  • Still need to render after using Compressor 4...

    Hi there.
    Having a small problem figuring out why I still need to render a video clip after using Compresor 4.
    I am able to add the fiile to Compressor 4 successfully.
    I select "Apple ProRes-422" as my codec
    I chose a destination and click submit.
    It takes the file - and does its thing and places it in the correct folder.
    When I go to Final Cut Express (4.0.1)- and "Import" the file - I see the long red line at the top and it says my clip is unrendered...
    It seemed so straight forward when I looked at the YouTube videos...
    I am currently on Lion...
    Thanks,
    SparkyCanada

    That would explain it...
    Thanks!

  • HD Clips ALWAYS need rendering when imported??

    I am shooting 1280x720 30fps HD on a SANYO Xacti camera. They are shot in mP4 format. I believe I need to convert them PRIOR to importing them into FC Studio. Any suggestions on settings using Compressor?? Or what settings in FCP?? I can preview the clips from the card by selecting the icon and pressing the space bar. Plays beautifully. However, when I import them into FCP I drag them to the timeline and the audio is RED and needs rendering. No biggy. However, when I add camera two footage BOTH audio and video are RED. 5 HOURS!! to render before editing. HELP! I am shooting using H.264 - my FCP settings are Apple ProRes 422 1280x720 30fps 48kHz. and H.264

    Your footage is H.264...A non-native editing codec with FCP. This won't work without rendering as your sequence settings differ from your footage. Either convert to ProRes before editing (highly preferred), or make custom settings with H.264 (possible, but not the best way to go).

  • Do I need to Render every time I make a to the audio or video?

    Today is the first time I have seriously considered using Final Cut Pro. This software was purchased for me (without my knowing) by the company I am working for to be used for simple editing and exporting. Recently I have been using iMovie and have been creating adequate videos, but figured it is time to upgrade to a "pro" software. That has been a big mistake.
    It seems like every time I make a change to the subclip in the timeline I need to Render the movie; if not, additions like transitions, audio filters, or simple changes are unplayable. For instance, when I adjust an audio filter (hum remover, for example) and try to preview the movie in the canvas, all I see is video accompanied by an annoying beeping sounding. Once I render the movie, I can I finally hear the expected audio.
    I am convinced I am doing something wrong, but I haven't noticed my mistakes in the help sections. Do I need to Render the audio/video every time I want to make a change and preview said change? Can someone point me in the right direction?

    #28 Having to render every clip in the timeline
    Shane's Stock Answer #28: When I put a clip in the timline, I have to render it before it will play. Why?
    Your clip settings MUST match your timeline settings. If you have DV/NTSC material, you need a DV/NTSC timeline. The frame rate, audio rate and dimensions (4:3, 16:9) all need to match exactly. In Final Cut Pro 6, this is easy, because when you drop a clip into the timeline, it asks if you want to set up the timeline to match the settings of the first clip you drag into it. Click YES and you are ready to go.
    However, in FCP 5.1 and earlier, it is a bit trickier.
    The most important thing you need to do is properly set up your project from the start, and the best way to do this is to choose a setting from the Easy Setups, located under the Final Cut Pro menu.
    Once you do this, you’ll need to create a new sequence. This is because the sequence that is already in your new project is setup for the typical default setting of DV/NTSC, or for the settings of your last project, which might not match what you are currently working with. So delete SEQUENCE 1 and create a new sequence:
    This new sequence will contain the settings you chose in the Easy Setup menu, and should match the format you captured.

  • Transitions do not render Audio / no audio while importing from cam / etc.

    hi - i still have problems with the latest iMovie HD 6.0.2. (267) on my brandnew 17" iMac (Intel) 1-GB-RAM, (QT WITHOUT any 3rd-party-SW)
    1. the build-in transitions (soft/smooth, overlay) dont render the AUDIO-file.
    it takes NO effect (only the images do)
    2. by importing clips from the camera i cannot hear AUDIO the same time
    (by replaying the importet clip audio is available/imported)
    3. the sharpening filter can't show a preview - the effect/s will only appear AFTER rendering.
    any idea?
    Mike

    As others have noted, the audiolevels are as they are when you record. If you need good audio on your video, you need to make sure the levels are ok while you record!
    That is, not to low, and not clipping.
    On most pro setups, the audio is controlled by a seperate person, or you have mics with microports on the speaking person(s) that are adjusted before the actual recording starts.
    Too low audio tend to give a lot of noise, and to high audio make clippings when digitized, making distortions.

  • Audio Drift when importing VHS Tapes-Do I need a Canopus ADVC 300

    Embarking on the daunting task of importing/editting >100 2hr VHS tapes, and want to get the best results for my efforts.
    I pop a tape into a VCR connected via S-Video (video) and RCA (audio) cables to a Sony DVMC-DA1 AD converter, and from there to my Mac Pro via Firewire. Use FCE "Capture Now" using NTSC DV Converter setup. Start capture, let it run unattended, and return at my leisure to do some rough editting.
    Problem is the audio on the imported clip gradually loses sync, by about 2 seconds by the end of the clip. The sync problem is present on the clip when played with Quicktime as well.
    Questions:
    1. Is there a reasonable way to correct this in FCE?
    2. Since my Sony converter is nearing 10 years old, will use of a more recent AD converter such as the Canopus ADVC 300 result in a perfectly synced import?
    3. If so, can you comment on the Canopus's purported video noise reduction and image stabilization capabilities? Is it noticable/worthwhile?
    Thanks for your time.

    Hello,
    The problem is the audio is not 'locked' to the video, and your old Sony DVMC-DA1 does not appear to support locked audio.
    The only way you might deal with this in FCE itself would be to capture shorter clips (say, under 15 minutes each) which would minimize the degree to which the audio drifts out of sync in each clip. (The longer the clip, the greater the drift.)
    Given the large amount of video you wish to digitize (some 200 hours), it will be far preferable to use a Canopus ADVC-100, 110 or higher model - +they all support DV locked audio+ - so the video & audio are sync'd without the need for manual intervention or capturing short clips.
    I have used the Canopus 100 & 110 extensively and have been very happy with the results. Sometimes, depending on the VHS tape, there is some slight banding at the very bottom of the image but 1) this is +usually not visible+ in the finished movie because it is outside the 'image safe area' and 2) if necessary can be compensated via about a 2%-4% enlargement of the image in FCE (which is not enough to soften the image).
    I have not used the Canopus 300 because I never felt the need, as I am happy with my results from the 100 & 110. Users of the 300 have been pretty positive about its built-in TBC and image cleaning capabilities.

  • ProRes clips need to render in FCP X

    I'm shooting with a Canon, which outputs .mts files but I convert them to 4:2:2 HQ ProRes before importing into FCP X. However, when I drop them into the timeline they still take time to render. The timeline specs were alread set by the first clip I dropped in -- same type of file -- 1080p HD, 1920x1080, 23.98.  Seems like they shouldn't need to render. Anybody have a tip on this?

    I'm a DP and DIT. In the professional world we would never even think of importing and transcoding directly from the cards for several reasons:
    1. The time it takes to turn around the media and get it back to camera crew.
    2. Possibility of corruption in transcode.
    3. Original raw media must exist on at least three separate hard drives. The insurance company usually requires this to even bond the film.
    4. No logging such as is provided by ShotPut Pro or Double Data. Logging is absolutely essential for data management.
    5. Changing file names by adding prefix or suffix as is provided for in ShotPut Pro, Double Data and other data management software. Without that you can get duplicate file names which is a real mess — I'm shooting with multiple cameras.

  • I need help! when I am importing my NEF files from my D3300 camera into lightroom 5 and try to use the "copy as DNG" button I always get an error message saying that "saying the file is not recognized by the raw format support"

    I need help! when I am importing my NEF Raw files from my D3300 camera into lightroom 5 and try to use the "copy as DNG" button I always get an error message saying that "saying the file is not recognized by the raw format support". The whole purpose of that button is so that the file can be recognized... How can I make the "copy as DNG" button work as it is supposed too?? Thank you

    Thank you for responding. So I essentially will never be able to use that button in lightroom 5? do I need to get LR 6? Will there ever be an update for LR 5 that will enable me to use it?
    Does DNG Converter work within LR or do I have to upload pictures to my computer and then make a second copy in DNG format. and then go into LR and use them?
    Thank you @dj_paige

  • Need to move audio clip to primary storyline without disturbing sync

    I had a video clip in the primary storyline from which I detached the audio. I then lifted the clip by selecting it and clicking option-cmd-up arrow. What is the simplest way, preferably with keyboard shortcuts rather than dragging, of putting the audio clip in the primary storyline in sync with the video?
    Here's a screen shot of my timeline after detaching the audio and lifting the video:

    AFAICT you need to have some video clip to make that work. The following workaround is a bit messy, but can do the trick.
    1) Add some short video clip connected below the audio (it can be a placeholder or a gap, or something else)
    2) Select the audio and the dummy video and make that a compound clip (option-G)
    3) Select the compound and command-option-downArrow to overwrite to the primary.
    3) break apart the compound clip (select it and do Clip->Break Apart Clip Items, or Cmd-Shift-G)
    4) delete the dummy video

  • Sequence size different from clip size = need to render?

    Dear All
    I would like to edit DV-Pal clips (720*576) in a sequence that has identical settings except the frame size: 1440*576. The final product is then a video with the width of 2(720576).
    If I drag into that sequence a clip, FCP asks me to render it. Is there a way around this (for a basic real time edit)? I lowered render options (in sequence settings) to a minimum, still it needs to render. I lowered sequence resolution to half the desired output (720*288) still it wants me to render.
    I coudn't find any thread discussing this problem.
    thank you,
    Hynek

    Dear Michael
    I don't intend to do a stereoscopic movie. Still I see similarities, or am I wrong.
    I would like to run different clips next to each other, and sometimes I would like to stretch one clip over the whole 1440*575 canvas (of course loosing some image at the top and bottom).
    The only way I found around rendering my sequence all the time, is to edit my video in a 720*576 sequence by dragging two clips in, resizing them to 50%, and putting them next to each other (each on a different track). Once I have done my edit I take each cut into the 1440*576 sequence and I scale each clip to 100 percent (with copy attributes). I have to do some repositioning of the clips on the canvas (again time can be saved with copy attributes). Then I render it all ONCE.
    now is there an faster way? can I learn something from your work flow?
    greetings,
    H

  • What do you do if you need to adjust the audio mid clip?

    In Final cut X can you adjust the audio in the middle of a clip? It seems that the fades are only at the beginning and end of each clip. What do you do if you need to adjust the audio mid clip?

    Range tool (click R)
    select range
    drag audio line ...
