Having to constantly render my audio!

I just upgraded my fcp but for some reason the audio needs to be rendered every time I lay a clip down . Now I am using a cheap little hd and the files are mov when I try to adjust the audio settings everything seems right but it isn't any suggestions?
Thanks,
Sauce

Are both the clip AND the FCP Sequence set for AIFF, 48khz, 16 bit (or both 32khz, 12 bit)? If they don't match, you will have to render.

Importing AVI files without having to constantly Render?

I got a new camera for my b-day, but it uses a hard drive instead of a tape. So, instead of "capturing" video by playing it through the FCE interface, I just import AVI files right off the camera. However, now when I want to drag a clip to a sequence, it is always Unrendered. I have to go through the pain staking process of rending long clips, and as I edit parts of it become unrendered again. It is making editing a real hassle!
Is there a way to get the clips into the software in a format that will resolve this problem? Or is there some other solution that I'm not thinking of?
Thanks - Berrett

Hi,
FCE doesn't work with the AVI format as standard, so it has to render all time.
You need to convert your material first in one of the supported video format for FCE.
FCE4 supports only DV, HDV and AVCHD (last two only through the Apple Intermediate Codec).
Depending what original video format you are shooting, you can try to use a free utility like Mpegstreamclip (www.squared5.com) to convert your source material into one of the supported by FCE.
If your camera is SD definition you will be using the DV format, otherwise you will be converting into the Apple Intermediate Codec, as a QuickTime movie in all cases. No avi.

Armando.

Continually having to Re-Render

Hello All,
My current saga/battle with rendering continues. For the first time (on a project basis), I am having to re-render each time I move away from my project and return. For example, I am working on a piece in FCP. I render the video and audio, I go to STP to work on a composite narrative piece. When I return to FCP (I didn't import anything yet), it needs to be re-rendered. I have not encountered the need to do this so frequently on other projects. Any idea what's going on?
Thanks.

I think you hit it. I went back and looked at all of the files I am using in my piece. The material coming from my camera was matched well. However, I discovered that the soundtrack I'm using was m4a format. I think this caused a lot of rendering struggles. I've switched/converted to aiff.
Thanks.

Why, after three months of apple tv working perfectly fine, is it now cutting out constantly and the audio and video out of sinc?!@

Why, after three months of apple tv working perfectly fine, is it now cutting out constantly and the audio and video out of sinc?

Playing rentals, Netflix, from local iTunes, other?
Firstly restart router and AppleTv after unpowering to see if that helps - may or may not but quick and easy to try.
Connection via ethernet or wifi? If wifi are there any new devices in the house which may be causing interference or new neighbouring networks? If feasible try to eliminate wifi issues by using an ethernet connection.

Forced to render same audio every time I export

My source material is all synced with audio in 8 timelines ranging from 45 min to 4 hours and I am editing from those, nesting into new working timelines. These original sequences need to be rerendered nearly every time I am working, even though I haven't made any changes.
If I try to export from a new timeline that includes bits of these nested sequences, the audio render gets held up indefinitely. It seems that to export any small clip, I need to open up all the original source timelines and rerender their audio individually, then render the working sequence. This takes up a huge amount of time and is really killing me.
Does anyone have any ideas why I would need to continually render the audio from these original sequences even though I am not making changes, or have any ideas of somework around?
Please let me know what else I can tell you!

Thank you for your reply regardless!!!
I found a years old thread that had a similar problem and the initial writer said he fixed it by unchecking the "save media cache files next to originals when possible" option in media preferences (although subsequent visitors to the thread were not helped by this fix). I did check that otion when setting up the project so I decided it's worth a try and I have today and tomorrow as buffer if all goes wrong. I unchecked it and changed the path for my media cache files and database. I waited through reconforming and had to render my avchd files again. The very weird thing is now the program is acting like all my MXF footage needs to be rendered when it never has been neccessary before. Do you have any idea about that?
I still don't know if changing the media cache location and unchecking that option will solve my originial problem, but we'll see; it's the only potential I've found!

Random Audio Render--deleted audio reappearing

When I adjust audio (i.e. change levels, in and out points, effects) on a section of audio that has already been rendered it oftentimes will not adjustment appropriately. It is like FCP uses the old rendered audio information and mashes it with the new. Sometimes the results are random bits of audio that pop in where they are not supposed to be--sometimes I have deleted the audio files from all tracks entirely and FCP still plays the audio like it is there.
I have had this problem for quite a while. I've deleted every render file on my computer, started new sequences, etc. This is clearly a bug--anyone found a fix?

maybe it has something to do with checking the render menu audio selections (for playback) or (item level)?

Export Audio Unchecked but Premiere (CC) always "Render Required Audio Files"

When exporting, Premiere CC always try render required audio files, even if you uncheck box "Export Audio"...
On small render test (less than half minute), premiere took about 5 minutes rendering "required audio files" (video project is large, more than one hour, but my work area is small, because I'am try some image render test quality, with different options)
It's strange because Premiere CS6 don't do that...and consequently, export was a lot faster, because you don't spent 5 minutes waiting only for separate audio rendering!
Any Thoughts?

I've not seen this myself.

FCP 7 quit rendering audio selection. Render all audio continues to work

FCP 7 simply quit performing audio render. One minute it worked and the next it didn't (either with keyboard command or dropdown menu). I can still get audio rendered by using the render all audio drop down menu but it's much more time consuming to do the dropdown menu.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Why can't I render the audio portion of a movie trialer from Apple site

I have been downloading apple trialers from the apple website for a year now, and importing them into Final Cut. I put them in a sequence, and then render them. It has been working fine until now, all of a sudden, the audio won't render. I have tried opening a new project, I have made sure the sequence settings are correct, but still, it won't render the audio. The video still renders fine. Help.

Apple is on to you...whatever you do, don't answer the door.

Should I Render Video-Audio in Final Cut Pro or Compressor?

The last time I read-up on this it was concluded I should trash/empty all my FCP project Audio/Video render files, then Export FCP>Compressor for best quality Mpeg2 and Audio compression.
What is current, render both in FCP6 or trash all and let Compressor 3.0.5 do it all?
Or it doesn't matter anymore?
Basic workflow:
Sony PD150, SD 4;3 into Final Cut Pro 6.0.5 Timeline.
Work on video and audio filters for adjustments.
Export to Compressor?
I am then bringing the Best Quality 90 min MPEG-2 and DolbyDP2 into DVD Studio Pro.
Thanks...

I did it both ways and can't see any difference.
The only reason I revisited the question is because my first, second and third MPEG2 runs through Compressor 3.05 (using both methods) looked like krap — very blotchy in areas and pixely halos around moving subjects.
They were unusable (like Compressor 2x was) so I was worried.
For some reason the problem cleared and it looks acceptable now.
I don't think it makes any difference which method you use is my conclusion.

Having trouble reconnecting render files

Hi-
I recently had to move a project from one hard drive to another, and although all the files are relatively in the same hierarchy (only the drive itself has changed) when I load the project in it shows almost the entire timeline needing rendering, both audio and video. When they were on the original drive, the entire project was rendered and it was completely done. Now when I look in my audio render folder and it seems that the render files are all split up in three separate project files... as time went on I would "save as" in order to have permanent backups, so maybe FCP is "confused" as to which of those subfolders each audio render file is in. The video render folder is similar, spread out in two different subfolders. So it looks like my render files are split among two folders in video render, and three folders in audio render. FCP never had any trouble with this arrangement before, keeping track fine.
When I select "reconnect" from the menu, "render files" is ghosted... it won't even let me select it. Am I really going to have to re-render everything to get my project back just because the files were moved to another drive?
Or could I try putting all the render files in one drive (move them up a level and out of the subdividing folders). Would that help FCP "find" them to reconnect with them? I'd backup the entire render file folders first in case it didn't work.
Thanks!

I'd not change project file names mid stream... it's really best to backup OFF the computer too. A USB flash drive works really well for this... When you change project names, and capture or render, the files get put into new folders named the same as the new project file's name... sort of messy.
You can put a flash drive in a USB port, and each day, just drag your project file to it, replacing the old... that way no matter what happens to your computer, the project file will not be affected.

Having difficulties with my M-Audio EX-P pedal.

Hey, I use Mainstage 2 for my live shows, and eerything works perfectly. I have multiple sounds across two different keyboards (M-Audio Keystation 49, Keystation 88). I use a sustain pedal which I have been able to assign to both keyboards or one induvidually just by having it plugged into the Keystation 88. I just received my EX-P pedal, and all I can get it to do is adjust volume on the Keystation 88 (as a whole, not any specific sounds). I was curious as to what all I could (or should be able to) do with this pedal. My plan was to be able to use it with my Keystation 49 to affect modulation and other effects I would add within the channel strip (such as Wah). Does anybody have experience with this pedal?

I will try that, thank you. Could I use the pedal through the volume or sustain input and then map the effect, or would I have to have a controller with an expression input?

So, assuming you are not, what version of OS X do you have?

Why am I having to constantly have to remark podcasts to allow auto delete?

One of the features I have enjoyed over time is the ability to mark a podcast to "Allow Auto Delete" of played podcasts. Lately (did it start with iTunes 9.x?) I am having to continually remark podcasts to allow auto delete. I have no idea why marking it once shouldn't do it. Does the fact that it has deleted everything -- there are no podcasts which have not been listened to -- somehow reset something and not retain the previous setting?
The scenario, which seems to happen the most often, is when there may be multiple episodes. I am not using the default settings, but it is set it to download the most recent episode(s) and only keep unplayed episodes. Yet when I do a refresh many of these played episodes do not get deleted. I then have to right click on the podcast and indicate yet again, "Allow Auto Delete".
Has anyone else noticed this? Is there something I'm missing? Is this a bug?
-Bill

I've noticed this too.
I have two ipods (one Nano 5G and one 160GB Classic). Since limited space is more of an issue on my Nano, I tend to keep some of the video-only podcasts set up to automatically sync only to the Classic and not on the Nano. I have around 40 podcasts in my list that automatically update, and about 4 of those are video ones that I exclude from the sync list on my Nano. Everything except for those 4 podcasts is set to allow auto delete.
From time to time I find myself needing to re-select the auto delete setting on some of the audio podcasts. Very frustrating - one would hope these settings would "stick" and syncing could really be what it should be - a one-click operation.

Anyone having problems with art/animation/audio disappearing from the timeline after a save?

Hello,
I'm having problems with many files losing their assets from the timeline after a save and reopening the file in Mac OS X Snow Leopard. This is happens quite often now and there seems to be no pattern to it. For example, I will open an existing Flash animation complete with sound and artwork, make changes to the animation timing, test the SWF and everything looks good, then save. After reopening the exact same file, there will be audio that was on the timeline will be an empty frame. In addition, there is art work that was swapped out or updated to a character and the symbols becomes empty after reopening. I'm losing days and hours of work and I can't seem to find any answers or help to figure out what's going on.
Any insight would be appreciated!
thanks!

I now use CS5.5 but I've noticed it on every version since CS4.
I JUST ran the latest update to 11.5.1.349
I'll let you know if it continues but for now I'm planning to learn a new software. Finally have some time to focus on this and if it works out I may say so long to Flash. I'll give CS6 a try but if it's not SIGNIFICANTLY improved (Brush tool comparable to ToonBoom, No losing data, Better Playback, Ability to export HTML5), it's just not worth it anymore. I've been using Flash since version 1 and since Adobe took it over, I hate to say that anything other than actionscript has gone WAY downhill. Many new features but they don't actually work well, or crash at runtime if used beyond a tutorial's level intensity. What's the point of all that functionality if it looks like garbage and can't perform on a professional level? Even if you do take the extra time to work slowly or limited to make it look nice - it loses the data! or now without HTML5 your venues of use are sliced in half? Pointless. I don't want to trash all my Flash experience, but I'm done defending an inferior product and waiting for it to catch up to a modern professional standard. I think my Flash days may be over very soon unfortunately. I feel like the're more interested in defending what they've created, than in making it work or even asking us what we want. I feel like a Girlfriend who's Man keeps promising to get steady work but hasn't after 10 years. Flash...we need to talk.
