Do I need to render before export?

Coming from the old video software, this was the case. However, now I have background rendering turned off. Do I need to manually render before I export the video, in order to get the color grades, transitions, etc? Or does export automatically render it for me?

Never thought about that....
OK, for 'real time'-playback of such a scene
made of six green screens stapled together,you have to render.
… if you're using just one extHDD, connected via usb3... (we're on a small budget)
For scenes with less demand of computation power, like this…
no rendering needed.....
(pics from one of our school projects…)
but habitual rendering...c'mon, fellas, seriously ??

Do I need to render before exporting?

I have just put together a small project with three sequences in it. Nothing crazy, renders in about an hour on a PB G4/1Ghz. My question though — do I need to render before exporting to a Quicktime movie? Or will it render automatically before exporting?
Thanks,
Kristin.

On a PB/G4, an hour isn't that bad. I started editing on Sawtooth G4s, and had render times of 2-3 hours for not much video. Of course, it all depends on titles, layers, effects, etc.
Well, if you think about it, exporting a movie to Quicktime IS rendering. I don't think FCP is going to stick a blue "Unrendered" box in, or encode at Dynamic RT quality when making a movie file.

Do I need to render before Compressor?

Sorry about this newbie question. After coming back from Color, my timeline has the red lines on top of the clips. Do I need to render before to straight export via Compressor ? Or is Compressor sort of does the render? thx.

It makes no difference whether you render or not because FCP hands over the raw frames to Compressor. Compressor ignores all FCP render files.

Do I need to render before saving?

Hi,
Do I need to render the video before the final render in the output format I want?
As I add titles and effects, I'm currently rendering the video - primarily because it's easier for me to work on the project if I can watch smoother video. At the end, I go to the share tab and render the project in the final format that I want e.g. mpg, etc.
I'm trying to see if I can speed up my workflow by skipping the intermediate renders before the final one. Or do I still need to keep rendering to prepare the footage for the final render?
Thanks,
Sam

No you don't. You don't really even have to render while you are working on the project.
Note that when you render only the area under Work Area Bar is rendered so, if you need to render an area because you want a better view of a transition or effect, you can set the Work Area Bar to cover only that area of your timeline, and then PRE will render only that area.
Cheers,
Neale

Thumbnails must render before export? Need workflow advice.

I am trying to figure out if there's a way that I can speed up my workflow.
1. Shoot a timelapse sequence (let's say 500 frames)
2. Import as .dng with 1:1 preview & smart preview generation
3. Make edits to frame #1
4. Copy settings on frame #1
5. Paste settings to all frames
Now here's the tricky part. I will wait for the progress bar to declare that it has finished pasting all of the settings to the remaining frames BUT the gallery previews still look like they did at import. LR5.5 dutifully begins to render the changes one by one.
If I have 50 of the frames visible then the 50 thumbnails will get updated. If I command-A (select all) and export all 500 frames at this point then I will always have some of the frames come out completely unprocessed - just as they were at import.
The only way that I have figured out how to avoid this is to scroll down in the gallery to a fresh set of 50, wait for them all to get new thumbnails rendered, scroll to the next set of 50, and so on. Once I've confirmed that all of the thumbnails have rendered then I can export with 100% success.
Is this expected behavior? What can I do to speed up this painful workflow?
I am working on a brand new Mac Pro 6,1 (cylinder) with 6-cores and 32GB of RAM. These files are stored on thunderbolt 2 while the previews and library are stored on the very fast built in flash storage.

I am trying to figure out if there's a way that I can speed up my workflow.
1. Shoot a timelapse sequence (let's say 500 frames)
2. Import as .dng with 1:1 preview & smart preview generation
3. Make edits to frame #1
4. Copy settings on frame #1
5. Paste settings to all frames
(2.) Why make 1:1 previews on import? They are only used when you zoom to 1:1 in the Library. If you don't create them at import, LR will make one for that specific shot if you zoom into it in the Library loupe view. There will be a few seconds delay while the preview is being created (whereas if it was created at import there will be almost no delay) but on the other hand you are not lumbering your system with hundreds of big previews that you don't need. Same question regarding Smart Previews. Why? They are used to stand in for the original shots only when the originals are not available, for instance because you are away from home and the storage drive. Do you really need them?
(3-5.) Select all the frames (Ctrl+A). Use the toggle switch on the Sync button to make it Auto Sync. Any edit you make to frame #1 will immediately be done to all the frames.

Error exporting... Says I need to render but I already have!

When I go to export my project as an MPEG 2, red bars appear over the timeline as if I haven't rendered and I get a message telling me that I need to render before exporting. I have rendered the project so I have no idea what the problem is. It will let me export the project as a Qucktime movie.
Thanks for your help!

for export to MPEG2 you need to render everything ... even th ebits that fcp can playback in full res without rendering
go to you sequence render menu and make sure that even "Full" has a checkmark , then render again.
this time it should work

Is the rendering essential before export with AME?

Hello guys!
My sequence has red and yellow lines. This means I have to render it for preview. I don't want to render it because I 'm sure for the preview result (I did the same with other projects)
It needs to be rendered before the export with AME or not?
I'm not sure, but once I forgot to render warp stabilization effect and the blue line appeared on my footage...

Hi Yiotal,
You should not have to render before exporting a project either through the integrated or stand-alone version of AME. If you got a blue line in your footage, it must have been a bug in PP/AME. I've had errors exporting projects when using linked AE projects, so outputting bugs do exist.
Rendering is meant for smooth playback while editing (especially clips with a red bar. Any decent system will do fine with the yellow bars). Even if you do render everything before exporting, never use those render files in your output (i.e. make sure the 'Use Previews' box is UNchecked). I've done some tests and the image quality you get when using render files is inferior.
Hope this helps!

Do clips need to be rendered before exporting project to video camera?

I am in the process of exporting an Imovie project back to my video camera for storage on a tape. When I start the export process I get a message that says clips need to be rendered prior to exporting. When I click the button to render clips Imovie goes through the process of rendering the clips and after several minutes the Imovie project starts to export to the camera and runs for about 2 seconds and the Imovie quits.
Imovie also gives the option of not rendering the clips.

Does the project reside on an external drive? If so, make sure the drive uses the Mac OS Extended disk format, which iMovie requires.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4176921#4176921
The crashes are most likely occurring because of external factors, not because of a flawed rendering routine. These can include the wrong disk format, QuickTime add-ons and obsolete iMovie plug-ins.

Do i need to render the clips before exporting them to my video camera?
It may depend on what type of clips they are. If they are photos imported with the Ken Burn checkbox turned OFF — which are not rendered as they are imported — iMovie will ask to render them. Do NOT allow iMovie to render the photos at this time for there's a bug that adds lots of jaggies to the images, reducing their quality.

I have created a .png logo to use on my video. It has it's own storyline so the logo is shown overthe whole video. Do I need to composite the logo storyline to the main storyline before exporting? Same question for the audio storyline.

CS4 - Does one need to Premiere render before Encore transcode?

Production Suite CS4
Question: Does one need to Premiere render before Encore transcode?
I have an Encore asset which is dynamically linked to a Premiere sequence. Do I need to render the sequence in Premiere before transcoding it in Encore i.e. is Premiere rendering necessary? Thanks in advance.

Adobe Encore technical support told me that Encore will not automatically render the Premiere sequence. You must manually render the sequence in Premiere before transcoding in Encore.

Is it necessary to render timeline before export?

I have read that some people say in order to get a faster export you need to render your timeline. I always thought this just makes preview files and exports would only use these files if you are exporting directly from premiere. Am I wrong? Arn't these files inferior to exporting anyway? I am down for any way to speed up exports but don't want to waste time on rendering a 2hr timeline if it is not actually going to help at all.
Thanks!

It is not necessary.
Rendering previews can help speed up the export process if you have the Use Previews box checked. However, once you add the time to render the previews to the export time, it's a wash. Meaning you could theoretically get a 1 hour export down to 10 minutes, but it'll take you 50 minutes to render the previews first.
Most preview files are not sufficient quality to be used for exports, so even if you have them you generally don't want to use them. I'd like to change that, and could use your help...

When exporting MPEG2 FCP says I need to render an already rendered seq?

Hi
I am tring to export an MPEG 2 and after rendering my timeline and going to file, export etc to output an MPEG 2 I get a FCP error saying I need to render my sequence first. Any suggestions? Can I use the Render Manager for this? If so, I have no clue how to ...
All help is much appreciated.

On your timeline you should see a colored strip on the top of your sequence. If its red you have to render. If its green then you are using a dynamic preview that allows you to watch things at real time.
To be sure everything is rendered click on:
Sequence>Render All
Then make a CHECK next to all the selections. Click back on your sequence and press option+R. This will render everthing in your sequence bypassing realtime effects and should allow you to export your file.

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.
