Do i have to render every time??

i have a simple piece of text in my browser (named the default name "text") that i use over and over in lots of sequences. i stuck a drop shadow in and now i have to render every time? is that right? i didn't have to render before; is there a way to just render the one time?
thanks!

Create your title, put it in and empty timeline, but do NOT render it.
File>Export>QuickTime Conversion.
Set the format type to QuickTime. Click on Options and set the codec to Animation. Set Colors to Millions+. Export.
When you bring this back into your project and put it over video in the timeline, it will still have to be rendered to composite over video, so I'm not sure it will gain you anything.

  • Have to render every time I add text

    Hello,
    I'm subtitling a large project using FCP7 and every time I add text I have to render it the text.
    This is slowing down my workflow. How can I eliminate the rendering?

    What codec does your source footage use?
    The source footage was VOB that was exported to Quicktime using ProRes 422 LT
    What codec is used in your Sequence setting?
    In sequence settings the compressor is set also to Apple ProRes 422 LT
    What are the RT settings?
    Render Control Settings: Filters & Flame Blending Selected. Frame Rate and Resolution 100% Coded same as Sequence Codec. Quality Normal. Always use best quality is deselected.
    What are you using to create the text?
    Just the FCP Text Generator.
    If you are using external titling software, what color space and format are the files saved in?
    Nope.
    Where is the source footage located on your computer?
    On an external drive, and the project file is on my internal hard drive.
    What Mac model are you using, which version of Mac OS X, what CPU and how much RAM?
    iMac from 2006, 10.5.8 2GHz Intel Core Duo 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

  • I have to render every time i move a clip!

    i am a musician and im trying to use fcp to edit my videos to match my final product with my mp3 final project audio from garage band. i recorded in photobooth and recorded at the same time as garage band using my condenser mic for better audio. i changed my files to pro res 422, but every time i move any clip some portion needs to be re rendered, ive set the sequence to pro res 422 but i still cant figure out whats going on. i have a drum, piano, vocal, guitar videos that all match to the audio but i cant really do much when it takes 14 minutes to render a 3 minute clip.
    this is what it looks like.

    Your problem stems from the video recording software you used. The clips in your browser are all showing as frame rates ranging from 9fps to 11fps. But your sequence is 29.97. FCP is trying to stretch those video files out to match the sequence frame rate, but it requires rendering to do so.
    Some video capture programs produce videos that are in some way incompatible with FCP because FCP reads the fps wrong. Snapz Pro is one, there are probably others. If you actually recorded the files in 29.97, then you need to run them through compressor to make them FCP compatible. Choose a pro res preset, but make sure that in the video settings that 29.97 is selected (and not "current").

  • Locked out of mail have to unlock every time I try to access it.

    I have been using my mac (mini) for a couple years and have always had macs, so I;m not an idiot (meh)…Just recently I have been locked out of my mail every time I try to use it, with either "disabled for security reasons" or "unable to connect to iCloud.." This is a personal computer…no network to deal with, just me, my iPad and iPhone. It is really really annoying. I have reset password, checked iCloud preferences to make sure my primary email address is the right one, and still have to unlock every time on every device. I have 3 accounts as I am old and have been through the @mac, @me and @icloud. I know I am missing something that is probably simple, but for the life of me I can't figure out what. When I go to unlock it everything works fine, but I have to do this constantly. I have never been asked to do this before the last 2 weeks, now it is ever-present. @mac has always been my primary email…it has never been changed (by me). I am lost,
    please advise
    Thanks

    If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.

    If you have any questions about your account in particular rather than questions about why something is the way it is, it would be better to contact itunes support at expresslane.apple.com than to talk to us about it. we can't tell you specific information about your account, only how things work in general

    What version of LR are you trying to activate? A serial number for LR 1 will not activate LR versions 2 - 5, but it will enable you to purchase LR 5 at the upgrade price and activate it.

    There is a setting in the System Preferences for this as well that may be causing it. Go to System Preferences>General>Restore windows when quitting and reopening apps - at the bottom of the window under Number of Recent items. Remove the checkmark from that setting.
    Also - if you close all of your windows when you are done with Safari - it should open to your home page.

    Uninstalled everything PA, also uninstalled mangler which was the only thing that depended on PA. It didn't work anyway.
    No pulseaudio --kill command so I couldn't run.
    Checked systemd journal and there is no mention of PA this time.
    Checked top, and grepped ps aux and there is no PA there either.
    I also rebooted the machine completely just to make sure. However VLC and HTML5 have the same incompatibilities.

  • 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.

  • Turning on Render at Maximum Bit Depth and Maximum Render Quality crashes render every time

    I've tried a few times to render an H264 version of my Red media project with Maximum Bit Depth and Maximum Render Quality.  Premiere crashes every time.  I have GPUs enabled. Are people using these settings with Red media and successfully rendering?

    To answer your specific question did you see the tooltip?
    I beleive it allows for 32-bit processing (16-bit if unchecked). Per the project settings help file at http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/using/project-settings-presets.html
    Maximum Bit Depth
    Allows Premiere Elements to use up to 32‑bit processing, even if the project uses a lower bit depth. Selecting this option increases precision but decreases performance.
    The help file for export is somewhat less informative about what it actually does but does point out that it is the color bit depth - http://helpx.adobe.com/media-encoder/using/encode-export-video-audio.html
    (Optional) Select Use Maximum Render Quality or Render At Maximum Bit Depth. Note:  Rendering at a higher color bit depth requires more RAM and slows rendering substantially.
    In practice the simplest suggestion is to export twice - once with / once without the setting and compare the time taken and perceived quality.
    Cheers,
    Neale
