Multicam Project Non-Stop Rendering

I created a multicam clip in FCP X.
I synched based on the first marker on each clip. I used a clapboard.
I using four clips and they're DV, so I know my system can handle it. (I've used five HDV streams with no problem.)
The rendering will not stop and it's been more than 20 hours since I loaded my last clip. I'm using a MacBook Pro conncected to an external drive via FireWire 800.
Another problem is that the audio and video are off by about a half-second. After dozens of multicam projects, this is a first for me.
Why is this happening? Could it be because I have FCP 7 and X on the same MacBook Pro?
I had a problem editing a multicam project on FCP 7 last week. The clips would not sync. When I moved my external hard drive to my Mac Pro, which does not have X, the problem disappeared.

It's possible for X and 7 to play nicely together on the same drive.
Follow these steps and you'll be fine.

Multicam project: rendering timeline disabled multicams in viewer

i am working on a multicam project and recently rendered my timeline, ever since i did that, i have been unable to view the multicams in the viewer while playing back in the timeline. if i go to a spot in the timeline and pause, i can see all cameras, but once i start playing, i only see the selected camera. i did a test with a new sequence, created a short multicam clip and was able to see all cameras in the viewer. then once i rendered the new test sequence, i could no longer see all cameras. i am making sure that i am selecting "open" instead of "sync off" from the top pulldown of the viewer. finally, i closed out fcp, deleted the newly created render file for my test sequence, reopened the project, of course i got a message that one render file was missing, pressed continue, played back the sequence, and once again i was able to see all cameras. so my question is, is this the fix? delete all of the render files for the project so that i can view all cameras, seems kinda strange this is happening....

You could just duplicate the sequence and render that for client viewing, keeping your working version unrendered, until you're ready to render.
Overall, it basically depends on your workflow and what you're doing. Mine has a pretty slim range of workflow steps, so I just duplicate the sequence when I'm ready to move to the next stage. This way I can always go back to an earlier version or stage of the process if needed.
Also keeps me from filling up harddrive space with unnecessary rendering. I generally do my render once I've got a 'locked cut' in place (collapsed sequence w/color correction, filters, L3rds...etc), then I duplicate that sequence after rendering to add different show opens/closes for different final outputs. The duplicate retains the original render files, so I don't have to keep rendering each final sequence.

Files stop rendering after a while! both in media encoder and direct export from timeline

hi there,
getting very frustrated here need to deliver a file but each time it stops rendering (each time at the same moment)
I tried several encodings (mpeg, H264, wmv) with the same disappointing results.
What i found out is that the first preset i used worked. (i rendered a waveform file for mastering in my audio software)
When starting te export a new file from the timeline you will see the latest preset you used (in my case windows media audio file)
then any following preset you choose won't work. Encoding will stop. When restarting the program and going back to the export menu will
show the first preset i had chosen (the only one that did work) which tells me that any other preset i choose won't work.
I tried several tricks (import timeline in another one, save copy project etc) non succesfull.
i work with PC/asus P6T SE/i7 - window 7 professional
hope anyone can help me with a workaround!
Frank
P.S. i succeeded to render the previous file with specific H264 setting using CBR in stead of VBR encoding but can not reproduce it so far!

How to render or output a multicamera project

I am thankful for the previous help and now I have the multicamera project almost done. I used multicamera window and went through 1 hour of film shot from two cameras. It went into sequence 002 and then I put video transitions between each clip. It plays fine in the project window. I don't know what to do next. I tried export - media and that brought up a window with a preview and output preview and choices of dvd. I left it on ntsc dvd and click export it put a 1 meg file on the computer, project file or something. It takes about a second to do that. I tried rendering workspace and rendering time line and that takes way longer but results in 130 separate files on the hard drive. I don't know what to do with them. One time early when I was playing with this with a single video file I had adobe encoder come up, but I can't find that anywhere now. I don't understand how to get this video with the transitions rendered out to an avi file. Thanks for helping, I have a book coming from Amazon on how to use this, not here yet. I find the adobe pdf help file, not so helpful. Doug

What version are you using Doug?
If CS4, you file>export>media and it opens up the dialog you mention. Then choose the one you want. This will in turn launch the Adobe Media Encoder which will actually do the rendering. Note where the output directory is. From there, you should be good to go.

Premiere Pro stops rendering and gives error message when encounters "RGB Color Corrector"

Premiere Pro (and also Encore) stops rendering and gives error message when it encounters a clip containing the "RGB Color Corrector" in any clip. It will process clips without RGBCC, but will stop when it gets to one with RGBCC activavted. PP will render clips if other effects, such as "Fast Color Corrector", "Color Balance (HLS)", and "Three-Way Color Corrector" are selected. However, these do not have the capabilities that The other color correctors will not do what RGB color corrector does, so I need to have this working to finish a large product that is due to the client. Please help me..... I am not using the Creative Cloud version, and can't find either a download for the new update from 2013, or a phone number to talk to anyone.

Using a Win7 computer with 2.8 quad core processor, 24 gig of ram, Nvidia Quadro 5000 video card. Don't think I have any plugins. I looked at one a while back for cleaning up grainy video, but I am not sure I paid for that. Think I deleted it.
Incidentally, someone named Jim on another part of the forum mentioned that this problem has been fixed in the CC version of the program. I am using the non-CC version because I am 68 years old and only do seminars and documentation video. Don't need so many bells and whistles, and definitely don't need learning curves every few weeks. CS6.0.3 works fine for me. By the way, someone else said that maybe version 6.0.1 might work better and I should revert to that. Not sure if it is the version i have on the disk upgrade to 5.5 that I purchased in December.
As it stands now, I have 7.5 hours of a seminar that is ready to go out the door. If there is an upgrade I can get from Adobe, maybe you can tell me about it. If I have a setting incorrect in the video output format, maybe I can change that. So far it just happens with clips in my video that have RGB color correction.

GOING TO KILL MYSELF!CLIPS STOP RENDERING! HELP!

I am ready to jump off a tall builing! I created a movie, spend hours editing clips, then all of a sudden the clips stopped rendering. I gave it a whole day to try and complete, b/c I was terrified of closing the progam and losing everything. Well, it's like it just froze. The little red line stopped moving. So I ended up losing the entire movie. I tried to get it out of the trash, but the strangest things is that all of the clips were reduced to 00.00.01 secs. In other words, completely invisisble. I couldn't stretch them back to their original size of about 1.2 secs. So I decided to start the whold **** movie from scratch again. I HAVE TO FINISH THIS PROJECT! So I go to import all of my clips (still and movie), and sure enough, about half render, but the rest are stuck. The red bar stopped half-way in the middle of one picture. WHAT IS GOING ON? PLEASE HELP ME SOMEONE! THIS IS RUINING MY LIFE!!!

Hi John -
"...When you are in the middle of a project, never use Software Update...."
That is sound advice, especially regarding iMovie itself. Not that it does create problems, but rather that it might.
The original poster does not say whether or not recent updates have been installed, or even if they have, whether the project pre-dated that installation.
And the wording of your comment suggested that it was necessary to return to earlier versions not only of QT but also of iMovie and the OS!
I too have noted that some seem to have had problems after the latest QT update, indeed I initiated a topic to check out the extent of this. Most people who responded had no problems at all, so I up-dated my laptop version. It is running flawlessly, and yes, KB imports perfectly.
My initial response to you was simply to point out that it was rather too dogmatic to state that the update was definitely the cause of the problem.
By the way, just how many is 'countless'?:-)

Project is not rendering

My project is not rendering. The orange colored indicators in the timeline will not go away.
The background task window was spinning for at least two hours without giving the percentage. Now- I don't know how- it just indicates 58 percent. It's not spinning and has not changed since last night.
I searched for a way to start and stop rendering. I couldn't figure it out.
I'm working with an iMac 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7, Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2. My video is on a Pegasus R4 external drive connected via Thunderbolt.

Exactly, it slows down FCPX, I only render when I need to, and about slow, it is best to keep only one project available. Here is good and cheep Software to move project from FCPX

IMovie stops rendering photos in slideshow

I was making a slideshow in iMovie when it stopped rendering all of a sudden. There are about 350 rendering tasks left and no response. I can que up more edits but it won't move the red bars at all. Can someone tell me how to fix this?

Sounds like a fairly good sized project. Have you checked to make sure that you have sufficient free disk space on your start up disk for iMovie to operate? Should have at least 10GB, and more is better.

Has anyone else had a problem with playback right after placing a cut in a multicam project?

I am working on 4 multicam projects concurrently. 2 sets of same shows but different performances. One program is funtioning just fine, the second studders (pauses) for 8 to 10 seconds after each edit, then jumps ahead to where the play head should be. It really slows the process down. I keep trying diffetent things, like proxy, original media, etc. but it dosent seem to help. I am nearing the end and don't particully want to start all over, but that may be the only solution.

Also, Keeping an eye on the processors via activity monitor, I noticed that every time I select an edit in the multicam clip all but one processor stops funtioning and that one runs up to 100%. This only hapens while editing this one particular project. All other projects work fine. The stall lasts about 10 seconds but only the video freezes, the audio continues to play on.
Any sugestions, or ideas of things to try. Open to anything.

My videos stop rendering/exporting at 80% any help?

When using premiere pro cc I can edit a video just fine. Then I get to exporting and every time without fail it stops working at 80% and the entire program just shuts down. Like when a program stops responding. I use windows 7. 8 gigs of ram GTX 590 video card latest drivers and an i7 3770k intel processor at 3.5ghz. My cpu usage never gets too high for my pc. I've tried updating all my drivers, uninstalling reinstalling, changing render settings, and nothing works. Am I missing something?

I found a solution to export an hour long doc that worked with Premier CC,
File > Project Settings > General > Renderer
The Renderer is set to default as: Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (Open CL)
Change this to: Mercury Playback Engine Software Only
After weeks of exports failing at 80% changing this setting worked and it spit my MPEG2 file out in no time.
Hope this helps

Can't stop rendering

I have iMovie HD-6. No problem with transitions previously, but this time they would not work properly and after 5 tries at different scenes, I kept deleting them with no apparent problem. However, when I went to share, a dialoge box appeared and said there was rendering even after the deletion . I can't get it to stop rendering. Any thoughts? Thanks

Hi Gerald - no specific fix, but are you using an external drive for this project? If so it must be formatted for Macs - Mac Os Extended.
Have you tried closing then re-opening the project?
Also, after quitting iMovie, delete this file:
Users(you)>Library>Preferences>com.apple.imovie.plist

How can i stop my aperture, my aperture now is non stop transfer in the movies

How can i stop my aperture, my aperture now is non stop transfer in the movies.

non stop transfer in the movies
Transfer movies from where? Sorry, I don't understand. Are you importing movies? Or rendering a slideshow as a movie and exporting a movie? Syncing with iCloud, Flickr, Facebook?
If importing movies into Aperture is hanging, and there is no progress at all, force quit Aperture (From the Apple -menu > Force quit ⌥⇧⌘⎋)
Then repair your Aperture library using the Aperture library First Aid Tools:

I am very annoyed at the Creative Cloud set up and the non-stop issues and problems

I am very annoyed at the Creative Cloud set up and the non-stop issues and problems! I am paying monthly for this service and it is constantly failing in some way! So far in three months I have had to uninstall and re-install Photoshop THREE times because it stopped working properly and Illustrator I have had to do that same to TWICE! That isn't including the other apps that have had issues! I don't have the time to constantly be un-installing and re-installing all or some of the Creative Cloud because your developers are not making a product that works consistently for the money you are charging! It is costing me more than just this monthly fee! And I am even less impressed with the fact that I cannot email someone for assistance in resolving these issues. Really Adobe?

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.

Thank you.

When SLEEP is selected manually the fan spins at maximum speed non-stop

Hi,
I have HP Pavilion Elite HPE-180t PC, WIndows 7, Home Premioum, 64 bits.
Occasionally, I put the PC into sleep mode manually if I am finished with my work. Here are the steps I do:
1. Press Start
2. On the Shut down drop down list select Sleep
3. PC turns the fan speed up for a few seconds and then goes to sleep with the power button changing color from blue to yellow.
But once in a while on the third step the fan speed is cranked up to maximum (quite noisy), the button goes from blue to yellow, but the fan keeps running at maximum speed non-stop.
In these situations pressing any key on the keyboard doesn't affect this state i.e. the fan keeps running, and the PC is unresponsive to any keyboard or mouse input.
The only way I found to remedy this case is to press and hold down the power button until the fan stops and the PC shuts down completely.
Any suggestions on how to avoid the freeze up while going to sleep mode manually?

Hi,
I have the same motherboard in my HP e9280t. Open up your PC and use a can of compressed air and blow the dust out of the CPU heat sink, power supply, video card and system fans.
Open up the RUN window and enter: msinfo32
If msinfo32 doesn't show the bios level then you will have to boot into computer setup and find the bios level.
Look for the bios level. Bios version 5.29 is the latest and I have been running that level for a long time without issues.
