Getting red render bar when editing HD multiclips

I'm editing a multiclip music video in Final Cut Pro 6.0.3. The sequence setting matches the size and frame rate of the footage, which is 1920 x 1080, 23.98 fps, using Apple ProRes 422 (HQ).
I have my multiclips all synched and when I put them in to the canvas to begin editing, I get the dreaded red render bar. I have never had this issue before when editing in SD. When I have "Unlimited RealTime" checked I get the yellow/orange bar.
Any advice on how to make this easier and flow faster?? My computer keeps crashing.
and I'm running MacOSX 10.5.2 on a Dual 2.5 GHz G5 with 1.5 GB DDR SDRAM.
Thanks in advance!

2 or 2.5 gigs of ram would help (IIRC, 2.5 is all FCP will utilitze).
We just had a thread about this issue on an iMac. You might want to review it...
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9091740#9091740
Where is your media stored and how many streams in your multiclip. How is the media connected...FW400/800/eSata/RAID (internal/external)?
Increased ram may help, but I'm inclined to think you could be maxing out your drive throughput.

PP CS5 Wants to Render all my AVCHD (MTS Files) - RED RENDER BAR

Help Please,
I have a Panasonic AF100 and shooting in 1920 x 1080 25P (Australia)
When I create a new project with same settings (AVCHD, 1920 x 1080 25 Frames Per Second) and import footage (MTS Files) the entire sequence has a RED bar above each clip. I expected the footage to have Green or Yellow bars unless I apply an effect or transition??
Having to render EVERY clip in my sequence is driving me mad, I have not even applied any effects and just to watch, I need to render every clip..
I am using a Mac 27", 3.2 GHZ, Intel Core i3, 4GB Memory 1333 Mhz DDR3...
Help please, anyone??
thanks in advance

Colorista II showing red render bar in PP CC 2014

I am working a lot with the plugin Colorista II from Red Giant Software. I am using the latest version of PP CC, Nvidia and the plugin. Graphic card is GTX 970.
Everytime I am tweaking with the plugin the render bar turn red. That means no GPU acceleration? From my system or generally the plugin?

hmm shame, that's a mislead in my opinion then. Color correction shall always work that way.
Thanks for reply.

I get unwanted duplicate lines when editing the data content of my JTable

I have created an editable JTable (filled with data from an SQL) with a modified instance of AbstractDataModel.
I have a phenomenon that I cannot explain nor fix: each time I edit a data field in the JTable and press ENTER or leave the field, the edited line is duplicated. The extra content is not sent to my SQL (if I recreate the table everything is fine, except that certainly the changed value is lost). The problem must come from the Java code.
Ok, I admit, that I am not a Java pro and might have made a really stupid error, but I cannot find it.
Has someone already seen such a behavior?
Thanks

Now we are drifting away a little from Java and start getting into philosophy ... :-) But one last reply I will do:
I agree that just playing around with the fuse box is dangerous and brings no benefit. But I am not that unknowing in Java... Technically saying I work in IT, but just not as a programmer but rather as a business consultant (I write the functional concepts that later the programmers have to implement and then I have to talk to them to fix functional errors and do the testing). Besides, I hold an official Java Programmer degree. But when not programming professionally and continuously gaining experience, it is very hard to keep your skill up. Therefore I do one or another hobby project with Java that I could also do better and faster with other tools such as Excel, Access or a simple batch job.
My concept for trying new things is to get a piece of code from the internet from which I assume I know roughly what it does. Then I use it in my programs, and while altering it to my needs, I continuously keep searching in API, documentation and tutorials or simple trial and error to get better insight into the details.
And as a scientist you know what I mean when I say that if I try something new, I simply accept for certain details that they work without knowing how. And over time I then take the time for the "how". Many famous people made their inventions by trial and error and while then testing their new observation and changing the surrounding conditions found out why they work. Not that I would claim for myself to be anything close to a genius inventor but I found that the approach works for me to advance in my insights of a solution.

What should your sequence settings be when editing with H264 in CC?

I keep getting a yellow bar when editing with H264 no matter what I make my settings as. Is there a way to fix this?

Hi jdib,
That's pretty normal for DSLR footage. Check out this article: http://blogs.adobe.com/premierepro/2011/02/red-yellow-and-green-render-bars.html

How can I get the panelTabbed to have a scroll bar when needed?

I have a panelTabbed with4 tabs and I want a scrollbar to appear when I shrink the size of the page down. I discovered that the tabs dissappear and there is not way to access them during some accessibility testing.
I tried inserting a panelGrouLayout around the paf:panelTabbed, but it did not help
<af:panelHeader id="ph3" text="#{acrResBundle['Header.Reports']}">
<af:panelGroupLayout id="pgl1" layout="scroll">
<af:panelTabbed id="panelTabbed1" styleClass="AFStretchWidth"
childCreation="lazy" inlineStyle="height:410px">
<af:showDetailItem disclosed="true" id="showDetailItem1"
stretchChildren="first"
text="#{resBundle['Header.TopPredictors']}">
<af:panelGroupLayout id="pgl3" layout="scroll">
<af:region id="TopDr1"
value="#{bindings.TopDriversRegion1.regionModel}"/>
</af:panelGroupLayout>
</af:showDetailItem>
Also, the outer page, which uses fnd:applicationsPanel with scroll="true", that the above is embedded in does get a scroll bar when needed by other af:panelHeader sections of the page.

Looks like the problem only occurs in screenReader mode, i.e., the ">>" link does not show up at all in screenReader mode, but does show up when not using screenReader mode. I filed bug 10407797

Render bar | yellow | red | green

If i put a new clip to my sequence it shows me a yellow render bar which actually means, i should regive it without bucking or any problems. But even if i put effects on that clip, or an adjusment layer, the render bar wont get red. And if i render the yellow one, with the full effects on the clip, its not able to play it without bucking. So first i wont get any red render bars, secondly even the yellow is not playing without bucking

Can you share your computer system specs, Premiere version, footage source format? Do you have GPU acceleration enabled? There are many factors affecting playback smoothness. Does the sequence preset match the footage? Mismatched frame rates are problematic for instance.

Can I zoom in with camera? Why do I get red dot when camera turned on?

Can I zoom with camera on I pad? Why do I get red dot sometimes, when camera turned on?

The red dot usually means it's in video mode and that red dot is a simulation of a normal video camera's red record button. If you are on photo mode you can zoom in by putting 2 fingers on the screen and spreading htem out (just like you'd zoom on a website)
but it's a digital zoom, not an optical zoom...so it's really the same as zooming in on the finished photo. Your image will be lower quality if you zoom in. (the iPad camera is mediocre at best to begin with)

Half a screen of red hash bars

I have a new Apple TV set to 1080i on a proview 19 inch wide screen TV after using the Apple Tv for about four hours I get red hash bars about one inch long with a row of bars then a black space and more bars. This covers the bottom half of the screen with the menu and puts up or flashes the bars when view a slide show or a video. Any ideas as to the cause and a solution.

McQu,
You can place the Apple TV into standby mode by holding down the Play/Pause button for five seconds. When you hold down the Play/Pause button for five seconds, Apple TV goes into standby mode (display dims and hard drive spins down). Pressing any button on the remote while in standby mode wakes Apple TV.
In regards to the video problem, I suggest reviewing knowledge base article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305175 to see if it may offer other steps to help you with.
Regards,
Chris

When I render my video I get a black bar on the left side of the screen

I just upgraded to FCS 2 and so far it's been a complete waste of money. I'm having nothing but problems with FCP, Compressor, and QMaster. I will just post my FCP problem here.
I've edited a weekly video podcast and everything looks great, until I render it and export it. When I render it, I get a constant, solid black bar on the far left of the video that takes up about 5% of the screen. My layers are definitely sized correctly to fill up the entire canvas, and they are all centered. I cannot figure out why I am getting this black bar or how to get rid of it without ditching the upgrade and going back to FCP5.1.
I have already tried completely uninstalling the FCS suite and reinstalling. No luck. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks for the reply.
My original source material is in Apple Intermediate Codec, with 32-bit float audio and a variable frame rate. This has not been friendly to FCP, so I use Quicktime to convert it to Apple ProRes with 24-bit audio and 29.97 frame rate. This is what I import into FCP.
My sequence settings are set to the same specs as my source material. 854x480, square pixels, no field dominance, Apple ProRes compression.
The black bar on the left side of the screen shows up before I even export. It shows up when I render everything.
I am exporting with Quicktime Conversion to:
MP4
h.264 codec
720x405
1000 video bit rate
Main Profile
No cropping/filters or anything.
The ONLY thing I did different before upgrading to FCP6 was that I used Apple Intermediate Codec all the way through. I was told by an FCP instructor that writes and publishes all kinds of FCP training material that I should upgrade to FCP6 and use the Apple ProRes422 Codec instead, so that's what I'm trying to do.
I am going back to restart my project using Apple Intermediate Codec all the way through like I used to, but it will be awhile before I can tell if that solved the problem. Either way, I would like to be using the ProRes codec....
Thoughts?

I am trying to edit a project originally started on another computer, by someone else and saved onto an external h-drive, but keep getting 'general error 48' when I try to render it to work further. Can anyone help?

Is this problem only occurring with the project you copied from an external drive, or with any FCP project?
For example, if you were to create a new project, do you still have this problem?
In FCP, if you go to the menu FInal Cut Pro > System Settings and look at the Scratch Disks Tab, is it set where you expect it to be? Have you tried switching the scratch disk to a different disk?

How to get clips to appear in good quality when editing?

I worked with PE over a decade ago when I had a PC. In 2008 I migrated to Apple -- specifcally desktop Intel duo-processor Mac, OS X Snow Lion 10.6.8. So regretably I was forced to leave PE behind and begin using Final Cut Express 4.0.1.   Recently I bought a new HD camera so I thought it was a good time to return to PE 11 since the program is now being made for Macs too. (I had missed the Organizer tremendously!) Before working with my new camera however, I could not resist importing some old standard definition clips into a timeline to play around with. Well they look horrible in the viewer -- all pixelated and poor quality! I selected the clips, pressed render and nothing happened. I am used to automatic rendering when editing in FCE so that what you see in the viewer is what you get, of course unless you run into compression issues later on. But I need to see what I'm editing and can't do that with this poor quality. So what is the problem?   The clips are all in .mp4 or .mov format. The .mp4 clips were shot with a Panasonic SDR-H85P in that format and the .mov clip was converted from DV footage on a tape recorded with a Canon ZR900.
Also, I am used to seeing and working on a minutia level -- sometimes frame by frame with a "blade" tool in FCE. I switched to expert view but still can't tell where 1 frame ends and another begins. Is there an easy way to do that?
Thanks!

Thank you for your helpful answer.   Regarding frame view, I found the options you indicated. However, I think my issue has more to do with "timeline view" if you will.   For example, in Final Cut, you could press "option +" several times to "lengthen" the timeline which in turn would "stretch" out each frame to an extent necessary to make really precise edits on a minutia scale. Then in order to "compress" it so you could see the entire timeline on the computer screen, pressing "option -" several times would bring it back down to that size which was handy for seeing exactly where all your other effects on other timelines were arranged. Does that make sense? Is there a way to do that in PE 11?    It's zooming in and out of the timeline essentially in order to see more of the detail while editing.
Regarding the poor quality of playback, I was able to correct the problem by setting the playback settings to "highest." That was a relief.   Also the clip properties did match the project properties, but if I had wanted to change project properties, I don't think I could have because so many of the options remained blanked out or unavailable -- all light in color not allowing me to access them. Don't know what the term for that is but you probably know what I mean. So does that mean that project properties are always automatically determined or must they be preset somehow? Any direction on that issue would be helpfui because I also work with infrared clips a lot from a Bushnell camcorder and often combine those with regular video clips. What is going to happen then?   Again, thanks so much for your help!

How are you saving a new bookmark?
There 5 ways to save a new Bookmark in Firefox, the first 4 should offer to save the new bookmark in a folder:
1.
2. Right-click and select Bookmark this Page.
3. Bookmarks > Bookmark this Page
4. Double-click the Star that is on the right side of the Location bar.
4a. (A single-click on the Star will save the new Bookmark to the Unsorted Bookmarks folder, without opening the Edit this Bookmark dialog.)
5. Drag the website image in the URL bar into the Sidebar view of Bookmarks
or to the Bookmarks menu bar item and then into the drop-down or onto the Bookmarks Toolbar

Emails get sent in Mail when pressing the space bar whilst spell checking

Why do emails get sent in Mail when pressing the space bar whilst spell checking ?? This is beyond annoying. It's been happening for ages on my MBP. I have seen others complain and I can't understadn why this simple bug has not been fixed. Any help on this would be very much appreciated. thank you.

Hi
In composing I have Check Spelling "when I click send" selected. I tried on my iMac, my Mail account is sync'd via iCloud etc.. I got the same thing, when you hit send and review your spelling, I need to do that a lot, as well as insert missing words. As soon as you hit the space bar off goes the email. I have seen others complain of this on the google. I have now switched to check as I type but when i make a typo Mail just puts a red line under the word, it doesn't open up the Spell Checker dialog.
Is there away of resetting my Mail Apps database ? MAybe something is corrupt.
thanks.
