HDV Always having to render?

Hello, I--after over two years--got a project we shot on a difficult JVC HDV U100 format digitized and onto a hard drive. I am very excited to get this project underway. My problem: when I drag the footage onto the time line the red line appears that prompts me to render. This is with no effects and nothing done to the footage. Will I have to render always? I hope not. Is there any way I can edit it in a lower format then bump it up to the HDV? I do not have the capibilities to re import, as the process to import required $500 of renting the camera for a few days. Let me know if I can start editing without having to render every bit of footage when I drag it into the time line.
thanks,
Johnny

#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.

Why always having to render?

Hi. Using a JVC GZ-HD7 with FCE4 in full High Definition. I find I have to render after every edit before I can play it. Any idea what I'm doing wrong - or is this just how it is? FCE EasySetup config is Apple Intermediate Codec at1080i50 at 25fps and ItemProperties are VidRate 25fps FrameSize 1920x1080 Compressor Apple Intermediate Codec DataRate 8.7MB/sec PixelAspect Square FieldDominance None Alpha None Composite Normal. Thanks. Kev

Theoretically 1920 is better, but you have to see what the chip aspect ratio is in the camera. If it's 1920 then you'll get no loss by compressing to 1440, though the full 1920 will be marginally better. if the chip is 1440, you will actually get reduced quality because the image is being scaled up to 1920.
If you keep rendering you're losing any benefit of 1920 because the image is being scaled down to the 1440 format that would have been done in the camera when you shoot with it.

Always having to render

So I imported 3 .mov files to FCP 6.0.6 and every time I move them or try and over lay something over them like a title or anything I have to render. Their has to be a way to not half to do that right??
Thank you
Nally

Meto! These are all bastardized versions of video formats.They're close to standard definition. The closest format in Final Cut is DV. For the US that's 720x480 using CCIR601 pixel aspect ratio. Put your media into a standard DV NTSC preset. Say no when it asks to adjust. Manually fix it in the timeline and render.
Or use something like MPEG Streamclip to convert this to QuickTime using the DV NTSC codec at the correct frame size and frame rate and audio sample rate.

Exporting HDV to a non-render needing format

Hi everyone,
I'm a long time FCP user, but new to HDV.
Here is what I'm doing:
Shot 1080/24p footage on Canon HDV20.
Imported it into FCP 5.1 on the 1080/24p Easy Setup.
Currently need to render everything on the timeline when editing.
A friend mentioned the possibilty of rendering all footage and exporting it to another Quicktime format that will not need rendering whenever the smallest change occurs.
I can't wait on my computer rendering, but also do not want to loose any quality in the final product.
Does anyone have any experience and/or opinion on this? Info as to what format to change to? Any advice appreciated.
Thanks,
M

Imported it into FCP 5.1 on the 1080/24p Easy Setup.
Currently need to render everything on the timeline when editing.
Because your sequence settings don't match your footage settings...that's all.

I don't recall always having to enter admin. name and p/w when doing updates. Is this req't only for certain software. I am a bit paranoid now with the Mac Defender lurking about.

When completing the software updates I can't remember always having to enter administrator name and password. Maybe it's just been automatic on my part but now I rethink the process when I am asked to enter this info since the Mac Defender malware became an issue with Mac. Just wanted to know if this procedure occurs with all software updates or is it selective based on the type of update? This time is concerned Airport. Thanks for any insight.

Are you running as an Admin User or non-Admin? ie. have you set your Mac up with multiple user accounts - one as an Admin and one as a Standard user?
For security, you are better off having an Admin user account that has Admin privileges and a Standard user account that you use from day to day with standard privileges. When you install system updates you will be required to enter an Admin name and password, and any software that needs access to the system will require an Admin name and password, but anything that you install just for your user account that doesn't require total system access will be able to be dragged and dropped into your Application folder as per usual.
MacDefender runs in a web browser - that should be a huge red flag! If you see a warning when you are running Safari or another web browser close the browser window or Force Quit it. (under the Apple Menu => Force Quit...) In Safari Preferences untick Open "safe" files after downloading. (It will prevent an installer from automatically launching if something nasty is downloaded to your machine.) MacDefender and its variants attempt to trick people into installing stuff that will compromise their system. If something pops up unannounced on your machine that you didn't download, close it and delete it.
This article goes into depth about the MacDefender Malware:
http://rixstep.com/2/20110610,00.shtml
The salient points are summed up in the "Recapitulate" section at the bottom of the article: It's a bit Hipster Geeky.
"To Recapitulate
As recounted elsewhere, the Mac Defender attack is a well thought out attack that may have taken months to get together. The first step was to compromise websites of eejits, hack their FTP accounts, and upload dynamited files to their servers.
Then followed the Google whacks which led to people clicking on links they'd provided at the sites they'd hijacked.
And then finally they uploaded Mac Defender so people would get hit by it. And the purpose of Mac Defender is to scare you into thinking you're infected so you pull out your credit card.
Then the hackers run away with your credit card info and buy mink coats and chinchilla coats or whatever they want.
But staying clear of Mac Defender is really easy and doesn't require any AV software.
Don't ever open anything you didn't want to download.
Turn off JavaScript when accessing any Google Images site.
Make sure you don't have Safari set to automatically open downloads."
I'd add, keep your software up to date. Especially Adobe's Flash Plug-in as this is no longer supplied in system updates by Apple and could become an attack vector in the future. Always download software from reputable sources - ie. when downloading the Flash plug-in, get it from Adobe directly - don't follow a link from a website that tells you your version of Flash is out of date.
Enable your Firewall in System Preferences => Security => Firewall. Click on the Advanced button and Enable Stealth Mode too.
Also under:
System Preferences => Security => General.
Disable Automatic Login. Require a password to unlock each System Preferences pane. Use secure virtual memory. Automatically update safe downloads list.
Educate yourself.

PriceSlider content item always having a fixed value for 'sliderMax' and 'sliderMax'

Hi,
I am using ATG-10.2
I am trying to create the navigation with invoke assembler call (to contentCollection '/content/Shared/Guided Navigation') Everything goes well, except the price slider.
sliderMin and sliderMax values are always having fixed values, even though there are products with higher prices than this range.
Ex: This is how my content item looks like
{enabled=true, @type=PriceSlider, name=Price, filterCrumb=com.endeca.infront.cartridge.model.RangeFilterBreadcrumb@d45e275, sliderMax=1500, sliderMin=0, priceProperty=sku.activePrice}
But in this search result, there are product which have prices even beyond 10,000
I hope that the properties I am accessing are correct (contentItem.sliderMin and contentItem.sliderMax).
Does anyone has seen this before??
Any solution to overcome this issue. ??

Can I edit between Premiere Pro & After Effects without having to Render??

Im trying to edit these videos my method was look through the long videos and select clips I want and export them so I could work on AE..
The thing is that the videos loose a lot of quality when I render them on export.
Yes I know I could use After Effects and cut the clips in there but the problem is that it doesnt really cut the clip it just shadows out the rest of the video.
Light Blue: Section I want Shadow Blue: Rest of video
This is bothering me when I try to use time remapping..
or is there any way to actually chop it off??? so that there wont be no shadow..
or is there any way to work between them withouth having to render..

The thing is that the videos loose a lot of quality when I render them on export.
Then you are using wrong settings, plain and simple.
This is bothering me when I try to use time remapping..
How so? Nothing stops you from adding additional keyframes at the trim marks, pre-compose the layer or whatever.

Is it possible to avoid having to RENDER clips?

New to FCE - still working my way through -
But - My question is - I have a small flip - making videos for the web page only- I find that this camera serves my purpose well.
Do I have to render every clip after I bring it in to the time line? When watching the tutorials it appears this is not necessary for certain types of vide files.
Since I am not willing to upgrade my camera - is this something I must deal with? Or is their a trick in the way one can import/export files where I can avoid having to render.
I just want to make sure I am not overlooking a simple setting during set up - etc....
Thanks
gh

You need to get your media into a format with with which FCE works natively before you bring it into the program.
Depending on what format the camera shoots, you can probably use a free utility called MPEG Streamclip (http://www.squared5.com/) to convert.

Apps always having to be updated

Always having to update apps. It seems the more I update them. The more the origingal program is messed up
And it gives more room for more advertising.
Started deleting more and more apps.
Why do I have to have so much advertising. Know peope have to make money but its like the end comsumer has no rights anymore.
Everything with adds are always turned on.
Why shouldn't they be turned off and if we want them on we can turn them on.
We are having our information sold.
It needs to stop.
If we need to pay for all the apps, Why have them. If we need advertising all the time. why not get rid of this phone.
I can Live without it.
Can you.

If I paid for everything on the computer or Iphone I would be broke.
Airtime is too high now.
What difference does it make if you are talking on the phone or texting or on the internet.
Its all airtime.
All the money that is spent on the internet or apps to just play on the computer or phone.

Editing 16:9 anamorphic dv pal without having to render

hi
i have some quicktime files which i believe to be dv pal 16:9 anamorphic.
quicktime info window says this:
DV, 720 x 576 (1024 x 576), Millions
i would like to edit this footage natively in final cut (ie. not having to render stuff)
if i drop a file onto the final cut timeline it asks me if i would like to set the sequence settings appropriately. if i say yes then it places the video on the timeline with a red bar indicating i need to render.
if i set the sequence settings how i think they should be (dv pal anamorphic etc) than i can place video on the timeline without it asking me to render green bars) BUT in this case the video does not look correct. the frame looks cropped.

Your settings are so messed up its not funny, as is your terminology. You keep mentioning cropping whereas it sounds like there is no cropping going on at all, letterboxing yes, but cropping no.
I'm sorry if my terminology is messed up.
If I watch the footage in quicktime everything is ok. If I refer to the picture not looking correct, i mean that the footage in the final cut canvas window does not look the same as when viewed in quicktime. By cropped I mean that parts of the picture are missing, so if i looked at a picture of a man standing in quicktime and i could see his feet, i would not be able to see his feet in the final cut canvas. This could be in addition to the aspect ratio looking wrong (fat or skinny people). As far as I'm concerned, the aspect ratio being wrong or right can be entirely separated from whether or not the picture has been cropped.
That your clips are apparently upper field DV suggests that the person who supplied them to you did not have a clue.
Yes I would tend to agree. However, they did leave me a nice little note explaining this.
That your clips when displayed Anamorphic 16:9 are "too fat" suggests that they are not 16:9 at all but in fact they are normal 4:3. (Which again suggests that the person who supplied them to you did not have a clue.)
If i look at the pictures in quicktime they look correct. ie. people do not look too fat or thin, a square is square etc. if i take the quicktime window width and divide it by the window height, the ratio is the same as dividing 16 by 9, hence me thinking that the pictures are 16:9.
None of this helps you in the muddle you're in though. Drop me an email off list and/or drop me one of your source clips in my iDisk public folder (member name: andymees) and I'll see if I can help you figure this out.
Best
Andy
This is much appreciated as i am fed up of shouting at my computer!

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,
g

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.

I always have to render video?

I recently digitized video and when I edit with the video, I have to render each shot that I place on the timeline? Is there a setting I need to change on my computer?

Verizon Fios is always having problems!

We have had Verizon Fios for about 15 months and it is the absolute worst! As long as we have it, we have had problems with this system. It is always having problems. TV shows do not record; it is always freezing; the system always needs to reboot; often the system can not reboot; customer service is bad; the backup battery needed replacing & started beeping after just 3 months.
For example, tonight I am sitting here at 1:00AM typing this message when I should be watching some of the shows & games I tried to record. I can not watch anything I recorded and the system will not reboot to try to fix whatever the problem is. I am actually getting a message that the Auto-fix features is NOT working.
I am totally frustrated and just give up. This system has just beaten me down and I can't take it anymore. For as much as I am paying, no customers should feel this way. They sent me a new DVR box a few weeks ago and we are still having the same problems. I have asked several times for SOMEONE from Customer Service management to call me back and NO ONE has done it yet.
I am ready to break my 2 yr commitment and want a total refund. I promise to tell all of my friends and neighbors just how HORRIBLE it is and to NEVER switch to it. You know it is a bad system and you know they know it is a bad system anytime they have provide an "Auto-fix MRDVR Issues" option!
If you are having problems like me, please join my fight against Verizon.

Having to render HDV

I recently started a project in FCP using the Sony Z1U. I used the Easy Set Up in Final Cut Pro and selected the "HDV 1080i60" setting. When I imported everthing was going smoothly. Recently one of my high school students started to edit a DV project and changed some settings. Now when I go back to the original HD project and import it wants me to render the video clips. Any idea on how to get the project back where it did not have to render?
Thanks for the help!
