Over Render of Clips

Does anyone have any advice as to why Color sometimes will render an entire clip from FCP instead of just the portion of that clip that was sent to color in the sequence. I have a 4 second clip that is in my color sequence and when it renders
it seems to want to render the entirety of this clip as if it is referencing the original 4 minute long clip. I have encountered this before and it seems to only happen sporadically on certain clips with no reason behind it. Waiting for a 4 second clip to render is a lot different than waiting for the whole 4 minute clip to render.
The original clip was shot at 100fps, is this why?
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Yes, Color renders the entire source duration of any clips with speed adjustments, relying on the XML to line it all up later. As with everything to do with Color, prep is king and a Media Mangle leaving modest handles before sending will avoid this issue.

How to render out clips in your composition as indivual files?

Hi guys,
I feel dumb! This must be possible, but I searched all over and can't find a way to do it.
I have a MASSIVE amount of clips, that all requires the same post production. So, instead of having a new composition for every single clip, I figured it must be possible to apply the effects to all of the clips in the composition, and then render them out in indivdual files, but I really can't find any method to do so?
Would be appreciated if you guys had a solution for this

There is no easy method for this.
You can create a new sequence for every clip.
You can create a single sequence, placing just one clip in it, export that and then replacing that clip with the next clip, and so on down the line.
You can create a single sequence, put all your clips in it, and adjust the Work Area Bar over the first clip, export that, readjust the WAB for the second clip, export that, etc.
However you do it, it's gonna be a real PITA. There just is no automated method for this type of operation.

Render 24pa clips?

I shot footage on DVX100B at 24p advanced mode. I captured it in FCP with 2:3:3:2 advanced pulldown and started editing. Why do I have to render my clips in the timeline before I view them? There's a red bar over any clips I drop in the timeline.

There are digital flags for the pulldown frames (I am told - I've never seen them ) It is possible that these were not copied across when you made the dubs.
You can try clicking on the clip in the browser and selecting Remove Advanced Pulldown from your (I think) tools menu. You can also look at the Nattress standards conversion plugins to see if you can remove the pulldown without the flags.
FYI, Fry Guy, in the future, it's best to start your own thread as your threadjacking may divert and confuse the original posters query...

I am trying to do voice over of my clips

Hello. I am trying to do voice over for my clips, but when I use the voice over tool, the audio is really low - unusable. I just need a way to use a mic through a Mackie to capture my voice over.

That isn't how you do VO. You need to open the VO TOOL.
What I do is make a new sequence, lay down about 10-20 min of slug and then use the VO tool to record VO. FCPs VO tool wants to lay down audio onto a timeline, instead of recording it as audio only via the capture tool (Like we do with Avid). After I record the VO, I drag the audio clip from the timeline to my bin where it shows up as a clip.

File error: The specified file i locked. when i am trying to render a clip on the time lin e

WHen i want to render a clip on the timeline it tells me this message"file error: The specified file i locked."drive and file and they are not locked.
What setting do i check for this
because up till now the program was rendering all clips on the time lne
I have checked the the drives and files and they are unlocked.
please advise
i have to render the clip from the timeline as n export then bring it back in
annoying !

Before I ask you to check permissions on the drive you save your material and output files, try creating a new project, copy everything from the old one in it (highlight-copy-paste in new project) and save as with a new name. Does this work?

Must render every clip ????

Hi All,
I shot a project using the XL2 in 24p /16:9 in FCP I'm using the 24p preset but everytime iI bring a clip in the timeline it must be render. Can you guys tell what I'm doing wrong or is it normal for this to happen. If there is a work around please post it. I have a music video to complete but having to render every clip in the timeline is going to take forever.
Thanks.

#28 Having to render every clip in the timeling
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.
The most important thing you need to do is properly set up your project from the start. It is always advisable to use the Easy Setups. Here is an in-depth article on the topic:

"A common cause of constant rendering is when your clip properties do not match your sequence settings. In FCE, your Easy Setup will determine the sequence settings when you create a new sequence.
So, the first questions are: what Easy Setup are you using in FCE? What are your sequence settings? What are your clip properties? Especially the codec/compression, frame size & frame rate. If you need help finding this info, let us know and we will explain."

Getting iMovie to re-render a clip

I ran into a strange situation where iMovie appears to have screwed up and used the wrong photo to render numerous clips. In the timeline, however, the affected clips show the correct name of the photos, so iMovie knows which photos it should have used. Is there a way to get iMovie to render those clips again using the right photo this time?

You should trash iMovie's preference file and try again with the photos.
With iMovie closed, go to your Home folder(YourUserName)/Library/references/com.apple.imovie.plist
Drag this plist file to the trash. Don't worry. iMovie will create a new fresh one when you relaunch it.
Reopen iMovie.
See if the photos render properly now.
Post back if this does not help.
Also, be sure you have enough free space on your computer's drive for iMovie to work...usually need at least 15-20 GB.

Is it possible to render the clips individually and relink- such as with Color/fcp?

I'm fairly new to Ae/ PP, and am trying to figure out a good workflow for grading (using resolve lite) Basically, I need to denoise my footage first (neat video) and then send that footage to Resolve, then back to pp. Now, this works fine with Resolve's scene detector as it can cut up the footage, but if there are any dissolves, etc, then I need to do this via xml instead.
What I would like to do is: Edit in PP. Send to AE to denoise, render (the denoise need to happen before grading) and replace the original files with the new denoised clips in pp. Then send the xml to Resolve. So far this would work if it wasn't for AE rendering everything into one clip, eliminating the cuts/layers.
Is it possible to render the clips individually and relink- such as with Color/fcp? If not, any other workflow that could work for me?
Hope someone can help- dynamic link is driving me up the wall.

Simply use Dynamic Link to send your whole timeline to AE or use AE's Premiere project import. Then once you have a working AE project, you can use scripts like rdPreCompose to create separate sub-comps for each clip which in turn you then can render separately. Still, the limitation will always be the kind of transitions you use. Essentialyl you should avoid anything that isn't a hard cut or simple cross dissolve 'cos there's no way to recreate it in AE without eating up the handle of your footage. You'd essentialyl be shooting yourself in teh foot if you jump ahead too far in Premiere and already add too much finishing there.

Using iMovie '08 how can I insert a imagine "over" a video clip ?

Best if you can say what kind of movies you are adding .... for example if they are YouTube Videos then use the Insert HTML option and embed the code.

How do I overlay audio from interview clip over other video clips?

Help! I have some interview clips and want to over lay the audio from one of the interviews over different video clips. For example, I would show video and audio from the interviewee and then cut to a clip or scene showing what the guy is talking about but still have the interviewees audio playing as a voice over on the cut-away clip. How do I do that?!

Welcome to the forum.
Is this Audio muxed (combined into a Clip w/ both Audio & Video), or is it a separate Audio-only file, that has been Imported into your Project?
If the latter, just drag an Instance of it to a free Audio Track, and position, as is needed. Note: each Instance of a Clip can have different In & Out Poiints, so you are not limited to them being identical.
For the former, the muxed file, there are a couple of ways to do that, but possibily the easiest is to Alt-click on the Audio part of the Clip (temporarily unlinks the Audio & Video), and Ctrl-C (Copy), then move the CTI (Current Time Indicator/Playhead) to the end of the Timeline, and press Ctrl-V (Paste), for as many Instances of that Audio, as you need. Then, drag them to an empty Audio Track, while holding down the Ctrl key for an Insert Edit, rather than a Ripple Edit, so as to not affect anything on that Track, below the desired Video Clip. If you are replacing the Audio.
Another way to do that is to use an audio-editing program to rip the Audio, Save as a PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit file, and then Import that into the Project, for use in many Instances.
Good luck, and hope that helps,

Extend a video clip's audio over the next clip

I cannot get it to work. When I put the pointer over the blue audio track, it turns into a hand. When I try to drag the audio track over the next clip, the whole clip (video and audio) moves. The result is the end or beginning of the clip is changed. Maybe, I am doing something wrong?
Thanks, Steve...

I would use the CUTAWAY function for this.
First, go into IMOVIE/PREFERENCES and make sure that the Advanced Tools are enabled.
Put the full video clip (with the audio you need) in your project.
Drag the second clip in and drop it on the frame of video where you want it to start.
When a popup menu appears, choose CUTAWAY.

How do you FORCE FCPx to re-render a clip?

here's the problem.
Final Cut Pro X FREQUENTLY screws up transition renders. Did I say FREQUENTLY? It CANNOT be stressed enough, that FCPx DOES SOMETHING BAD to its transition renders Quite Often.
ok, until Apple fixes that nightmare, I want a workaround. I thought I had it:
if you hit control+r you tell FCPx to 'render selection.' its right there in the menu.
but its a lie. what it SHOULD read in the menu is: 'render selection, if it is not already marked as having been rendered.' This is a problem for me, because FCPx FREQUENTLY SCREWS UP TRANSITION RENDERS*.
*ok, I think I've said it enough, time for an example:
imagine a crossfade, standard, stock crossfade, using the standard timing... EVERYTHING is standard. Well, How would you feel if you were scrubbing an otherwise perfect edit... to find that your crossfades... ALL OF THEM... pop the resulting image, into the first frame of the transition? I bet you'd be mad.
How would you feel if you HAD NO RELIABLE WAY TO FORCE FCPx TO RE-RENDER THOSE TRANSITIONS? You'd be livid. Lets put some more firewood on here... How would you feel if this happened randomly, all the time? I really do mean ALL THE TIME. I can scarcely look at FCPx without it screwing up the transitions of my edit.
point is. FCPx has a wonderful editor. its a joy to use. But its chock FULL of bugs, and its so SMUG that it doesn't provide ANY workarounds. The Documentation is a joke. So I'm here... trying to find a way To FORCE FCPx to re-render something IT thinks is already rendered. the smug jerk.

OP here.
I'd like to make a few comments.
Apple has been slowly fixing critical bugs in FCPx, I'm happy with the direction things are headed. But we still have a long way to go.
the "delete Project Render Files" option is a late edition, and I "think" it is meant to address this specific issue. I find however that in practice, it introduces as many problems as it solves. deleting the project render files forces a re-render on the entire timeline, and as stated way back in the OP, FCPX screws up transition renders.
Let me dig into that a little bit. Randomly, FCPx will cut out the first frame of a transiton, creating a jarring full frame jump (as it skips to the second frame) just at the front of a transition, and fill the last frame with black. All I want to do at this maddening point is force FCPX to re-render specific parts of the show, one at a time, because if I ask it to render the other stuff, invariably I will be subjected to the same amount of render bugs I am trying to eliminate. (or more) FCPX does this randomly, so if I can force it to re-render only a specific segment, there's a chance it won't render that bit incorrectly. And with finite control, I can step through and fix each transition, forcing as many re-renders as necessary, always getting closer to done, rather than starting from scratch at every step.
so, the tip is appreciated, it just doesn't answer my needs. I like FCPX, and sometimes its a dream but it is still riddled with critical bugs and the lack of percision control over the system is a design flaw, IMHO.
