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

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.

  • How to avoid having to render...?

    I am fairly new to editing and all it involves, so apologies if some of this is very obvious/basic stuff.
    I often have to edit footage provided to me by other people, because of this i cannot control what cameras the footage is shot on or what format the files are delivered to me on. The files are generally wmv, MTS, or MP4 files. The bain of my life at the moment is having to constantly render files in Final Cut Express.
    What do i need to do to avoid rendering? What settings do i need to amend? i am fairly comfortable with video converters, but i am not sure what settings need to be the same in FCE and the video clip so that they work harmoniously and without the need for editing...?

    Thank you very much!

    You'll find most of the basic information you need to know in the user's manual.  Among that information is the fact that FCE works natively (no rendering) with only two codecs: DV and AIC.  All other codecs need to be converted to one of those two PRIOR to importing into FCE.
    You may want to look into purchasing FCP X (just released) which works natively with many, many more codecs.

  • I download apps directly to my iphone.  When I sync with my laptop, how do I avoid having sync delete apps, photos, songs downloaded on my iphone?

    I download apps directly to my iphone.  When I sync with my laptop, how do I avoid having sync delete apps, photos/vdeos, songs downloaded on my iphone?

    If you are syncing to the same computer that you always sync to, and have each of the items in itunes that you want synced then you shouldnt have an issue. The only way you would have an app come off your phone is if you uncheck that app from syncing in th apps location in itunes.

  • I have recently transferred data from my old Mac to my new one. The result was good, but I have 2 users now, whose data I want to merge into 1 single user, so to avoid having to switch from one user to the other to view and use certain files. How to do it

    I have recently transferred data from my old Mac to my new one. The result was good, but I have 2 users now, whose data I want to merge into 1 single user, so to avoid having to switch from one user to the other to view and use certain files. How to do it?

    Here's an easy way:
    Pick the user that you want to eliminate (making sure that the remaining user has administrator privileges) and move all of the data that you want to keep into the Shared folder. Reboot or log out and login to the user you want to keep. Copy all the data from the Shared folder into your account - placing it neatly in folders (Documents, Music, Movies, etc.).
    Once the data is moved, log into the account you want to delete just once more to make certain that you've grabbed all the data you want to keep. Log out and log back into your admin account and go to System Preferences>Users & Groups and delete the 'old' user.
    That should do it.

  • How to sort photo events by date and avoid having duplicated photos on iPhone 6+

    How to sort photo events bby date and avoid having duplicated photos. Before the sorting by date worked perfectly by specifying "sort events by date ascending" in iPhoto from my Mac. Now the sorting from iPhoto has no more effect on the iPhones. And photos are often duplicated when synchronisin. Before these problems didn't happen. How to do?

    You can not  --  neither automatically or manually - you should never be in the masters folder and there is never a need to be - iPhoto is a SQLite database and it's database structure is determined by it (and changes from time to time) - use the supported access methods (direct access to the photo files is not supported and never has been) - either using iPhoto or using the media browser in the lower left hand corner of every open/attach/iupload window
    It is CRITICAL that you NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure or content of the iPhoto library using the finder or any program other than iPhoto

  • Encore CS6 not possible to avoid transcoding

    Why does encore CS6 transcode some H.264 streams and some not? They are different sequences exported from the same project with the same settings out of premiere CS6. The parameters of all streams equal the settings in encore. But for some it is not possible to change the setting in encore to not transcode.

    Yes, I used H.264 Bluray 1440x1080 anamorph. I guess Encore ignored the anamorph flag for some files and transcoded them a second time to 1440x1080 - the result is a visible frame with a distorted 4:3 aspect ratio. I have found a resolution. I replaced the transcoded files in the encore transcode folder with copies of the original files and renamed them like the transcoded files: "original filename"_sessionFiles_Asf_session_1_video.m4v
    Perhaps its possible to avoid transcoding by simply placing renamed copies (in that name system above) of the original files in the transcode folder. I will try it in the future.

    The only "unlimited" plan I can think of where this would not apply is the old Connect plan for multimedia/basic phones.  That unlimited data, on devices such as the LG Voyager, EnvTouch, and other "multimedia" devices is  not the same.
    If you currently have an individual $29.99 unlimited data plan with a 3G Smartphone, then you can buy a BBQ10 retail and activate it with the same data plan and keep the unlimited.

  • 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.

  • How do I avoid having to re-download all the software updates for SUS after migrating to lion, I have all the snow leopard/Lion updates saved to disk already

    I have recently upgraded from Snow Leopard Server to Lion Server, all works well so far.
    I had Snowleopard Server supplying the updates to my Snowleopard and Lion clients with no problems.
    I now need to get Lion Software update server running on the Lion Server and would like to avoid having to re download all the updates from Apple
    (The updates are nearly 50Gig and my ISP limit is only 100gig for the month).
    How do I copy in, an rebuild the updates from my Snowleopard server backup?
    I have tried but I think I ran into a permissions problem.
    I'm not that experienced yet with the command Line/terminal but I'm getting there.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    It has to be 10.6.8 I believe, before you can upgrade to Lion. I found some more info, please check out: http://www.informationweek.com/byte/howto/personal-tech/desktop-os/231001728
    Be sure all your programms will work on Lion. Power PC programms do not work anymore (eg Nikon Scan 4 will not work from now on on Mac OS X). Some versions of Canon utilities for camera's do not work, Canon still have to upgrade. For an App Compatibility Table: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

  • 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.

    Hello Michael,
    Thank you for your response.  My operating system is XP.  When I try to open a pfd document I just get a series of letters and symbols in a dialog box.  The top of the box says "select the encoding that makes your document readable".  I can choose Windows, MS-Dos, or other (there is a long list to choose from).  None seem to make a difference.  If I save the document to my desk top I can right click on it and choose an option "Open with  AdobeReader 9" and it opens fine.

  • InDesign CS6 EPub export: Possible to avoid object styles?

    After upgrading to CS6 I've been having issues with the new EPub export command. After expanding the EPUB file that was created I noticed all of the achored objects had been given their own, unique DIV classes in the default CSS file (ie the one now named after the INDD file) that included a bunch of formatting that I didn't want carried over from the print layout.
    I gather this is being called a new 'feature', but there doesn't seem to be a way to disable it. I thought the whole point of being able to use your own CSS file was to make a clean break from the styles applied in the print layout? I tried deleting the entire default CSS file and recompressing the EPUB and this actually seems to work (although I'm not sure why it does, since I would have thought that the unique class names wouldn't match with any defined in my basic CSS file?), although I'd prefer to avoid having to break the files open in the first place.
    Or am I missing something?
    Thanks!

    Ron Bilodeau who creates EPUB files for O'Reilly wrote a piece about EPUB from CS6 in the newest issue of InDesign Magazine. Perhaps what he says will be useful to you:
    "In the Advanced tab of the EPUB Export Options dialog box there is now an option
    to include multiple CSS stylesheets, in addition to the CSS that InDesign generates (Figure 3).
    "Initially, I was annoyed by this change, because Adobe removed the option to ignore the InDesign-generated CSS and only use a custom external CSS. I write my own custom EPUB CSS and therefore wanted to use that instead of what InDesign generates. But it didn’t take me long to realize that this new solution is pretty elegant. By default, any custom stylesheet attributes will override matching elements from the InDesign-generated CSS. This means that you have ultimate control over what is displayed. If you’re happy with how some of the InDesign-generated CSS works in your EPUB file, then simply leave those elements alone and let them do their job. For other elements that you’re not happy with, you can simply override them with your custom CSS. If you prefer to not write your own EPUB CSS, simply export your EPUB file without choosing any additional CSS file(s) and let InDesign do all the work."
