Render Graphics everytime I make a change!!?!?!

I've read many of the threads about rendering, how you must match the project/squence settings to your clip settings to avoid rendering (that wonderful "Writting Video" bar). This makes sense for camera footage....match your footage format to your sequence settings...
However....I use ALOT of png's, psd's, livetype renders, graphics etc etc. Everytime I bring them into timeline...I'll have to render....I move them, apply filters and effects, transitions, I have to render them... Is this normal?
Also, some transitions, and filters....simply do not work...as in I'll apply a lens flare...and it won't be there.
Thank god for the discussion form or I'd be in trouble

You've got to understand that a png or psd file is NOT a video file at all until you render it into one. You can stretch it over a length of the timeline, but that's only a visual representation of what you want FCP to do with it.
Also: is your info correct? Are you running FCP on an intel maC?

  • After Effects CC seems to automatically render every time I make a change. HELP

    A yellow bar appears under my compostion window above my time line. I can't even type a sentence with the type tool without it trying to render every letter. Its making my computer and my worklow painfully slow and it's also irritating me. I don't kno why it suddenly started to do this while I was editing audio layers. Can anyone tell me how to turn it off? Please?
    Update: it also makes it so my RAM preview only renders 1 frame at a time and it cannot store any rendered frames so it has to always start over and rerender everything.

    You have not provided system information and other details. That aside, standard procedures apply - trash the prefs, flush the caches, check your configuration, verify that the source files are intact, reinstall the program if necessary.

  • Must I render everytime I make a minor change?

    Everytime I move a clip, add a clip, change the length of a clip, add a transition....anything at all I have to "render" only that needs render in order to view the changes....this is sooo time consuming as the movie becomes longer...there is a lot of tweaking going on to matchup audio with titles and video...and yes I am using soundtrack and livetype to streamline this process but I am reaching the point where many edits are just faster to perform in FCE...there must be a way to make minor changes without having to re-render each time in order to view the changes made.

    Not sure what you're starting with, but I had this problem once when I imported QuickTime movies from a friend's camera. They were encoded as MPEG4s. Final Cut let me import them, but required constant renders to make any changes. I converted to Apple Intermediate Codec in MPEG Streamclip and reimported, and all was well after that.

  • PS CC - I have a B/W background which I flattened - Then, change to RGB and add an RGB color graphic - print out makes background a greenish color - Can't figure out how to adjust.

    If the grayscale looks ok on screen, you are probably not setting up your print correctly. What OS? What printer?

  • Do I need to Render every time I make a to the audio or video?

    Today is the first time I have seriously considered using Final Cut Pro. This software was purchased for me (without my knowing) by the company I am working for to be used for simple editing and exporting. Recently I have been using iMovie and have been creating adequate videos, but figured it is time to upgrade to a "pro" software. That has been a big mistake.
    It seems like every time I make a change to the subclip in the timeline I need to Render the movie; if not, additions like transitions, audio filters, or simple changes are unplayable. For instance, when I adjust an audio filter (hum remover, for example) and try to preview the movie in the canvas, all I see is video accompanied by an annoying beeping sounding. Once I render the movie, I can I finally hear the expected audio.
    I am convinced I am doing something wrong, but I haven't noticed my mistakes in the help sections. Do I need to Render the audio/video every time I want to make a change and preview said change? Can someone point me in the right direction?

    #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 do I have to keep rerendering when I don't make any changes?

    This is really slowing me down right now. I am at the color grading part of my workflow using magic bullet looks. I keep going back and forth between clips to make sure that the clips match up. It is understandable that I have to rerender these changes however when I make a change to these clips there are other clips on my timeline -- clips that I made no changes to whatsoever -- that suddenly want to turn red and I therefore have to rerender.
    These clips that I have to rerender are on video 2 while everything else is on video 1. These cips are on video 2 because they have sapphire transitions on then and you cant -- as far as i know -- have then on the same layer because you have to keyframe them to transition in or out.
    My question is why do these clips with sapphire transitions on them suddenly turn red? Is there a workaround?
    I am using cs5.5 on an i5 with gtx570

    Assumeably your MB effects are on clips below Video 2.  That means PPRO has to render the change to the MB clips and incorporate the effects on vid 2 clips.
    A workaround sometimes is to razor clips (sections of the timeline) so that you ony render parts  of the clips. Otherwise the entire clip needs rendering for every change.

  • If I make a change to a document in acrobat, I cannot save it. An error message always comes up.

    I have Adobe Acrobat XI. I can make PDF files very easily, however if I edit a file and try to save, I get the following error message.
    "The document could not be saved. The files may be read-only or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder."
    I have looked, it is not read-only, and I am for sure the only one with this file open.
    Any suggestions - this driving me crazy!

    Thank you, you just solved the problem I have been having since upgrading to Adobe Standard XI also. I was going nuts because everytime I tried to make a change to a PDF and save it, I got the same error message. I turned the preview pane off in windows explorer and now everything works. Thanks again!!!

    hi all.When pressed play and make some changes in loop (eg fade in fade out) are very slow to implement, and also the loops from the library are very slow to play, corrects the somewhat self so is the Logic??

    Hey there Logic Pro21,
    It sounds like you are seeing some odd performance issues with Logic Pro X. I recommend these troubleshooting steps specifically from the following article to help troubleshoot what is happening:
    Logic Pro X: Troubleshooting basics
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5859
    Verify that your computer meets the system requirements for Logic Pro X
    See Logic Pro X Technical Specifications.
    Test using the computer's built-in audio hardware
    If you use external audio hardware, try setting Logic Pro X to use the built-in audio hardware on your computer. Choose Logic Pro X > Preferences > Audio from the main menu and click the Devices tab. Choose the built in audio hardware from the Input Device and Output Device pop-up menus. If the issue is resolved using built-in audio, refer to the manufacturer of your audio interface.
    Start Logic with a different project template
    Sometimes project files can become damaged, causing unexpected behavior in Logic. If you use a template, damage to the template can cause unexpected results with any project subsequently created from it. To create a completely fresh project choose File > New from Template and select Empty Project in the template selector window. Test to see if the issue is resolved in the new project.
    Sometimes, issues with the data in a project can be repaired. Open an affected project and open the Project Information window with the Project Information key command. Click Reorganize Memory to attempt to repair the project. When you reorganize memory, the current project is checked for any signs of damage, structural problems, and unused blocks. If any unused blocks are found, you will be able to remove these, and repair the project. Project memory is also reorganized automatically after saving or opening a project.
    Delete the user preferences
    You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro X back to its original settings. This will not impact your media files. To reset your Logic Pro X user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
    In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
    Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
    Press the Go button.
    Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro X, then you may also wish to delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
    If you have upgraded from an earlier version of Logic Pro, you should also remove~/Library/Preferences/Logic/com.apple.logic.pro.
    Restart the computer.
    Isolate an issue by using another user account
    For more information see Isolating an issue by using another user account.
    Reinstall Logic Pro X
    Another approach you might consider is reinstalling Logic Pro X. To do this effectively, you need to remove the application, then reinstall Logic Pro X. You don't have to remove everything that was installed with Logic Pro X. Follow the steps below to completely reinstall a fresh copy of Logic Pro X.
    In the Finder, choose Applications from the Go menu.
    Locate the Logic Pro X application and drag it to the trash.
    Open the Mac App Store
    Click the Purchases button in the Mac App Store toolbar.
    Sign in to the Mac App Store using the Apple ID you first used to purchase Logic Pro X.
    Look for Logic Pro X in the list of purchased applications in the App Store. If you don't see Logic Pro X in the list, make sure it's not hidden. See Mac App Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases for more information.
    Click Install to download and install Logic Pro X.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • When I turn my computer on I receive a message that Apple wants to make a change to the hardware. I click on yes but nothing happens. I think this has something to do with Apple "push". I had a problem with this in iTunes when I tried to sync my iPod Touc

    When I turn my computer on (Windows 7) I receive a message that Apple wants to make a change to the hardware. I click on yes but nothing happens. The change has something to do with Apple "push". I recently had a problem with"push" on iTunes when I tried to sync my iPod Touch. I have latest software for iTunes and iPod. Can anyone tell me what to do to get this change to install?

    Since hardware cannot be changed with software, perhaps you would be so kind as to post the exact wording of the message?

  • HT1689 I need to get my iPod to no longer be associated with the original i store account. My husband set it up through his account but now I have my own account. I don't want to go through his every time I want to make a change. how do I make this change

    I need to get my iPod to no longer be associated with the original i store account. My husband set it up through his account but now I have my own account. I don't want to go through his every time I want to make a change. how do I make this change?

    I am trying to stop using my I-pod under my husband's I-Tune account.  It was set up under his account and the only way I can use it under my account is to erase all of the songs my husband loaded on for me.  I had heard there is a duration that I-Pods are locked into to one account only, and I am trying to discover how I can use my account without having to erase everything on the I-Pod.  I know it sounds confusing but that's the way I-tunes have set it up.  thanks for asking.

  • Sharing Numbers spreadsheet with others so they can make slight changes?

    I created a Numbers spreadsheet and saved it to iCloud with a password. I want to share it with 2 other people and allow them to make simple changes to the spreadsheet.
    1. Do they need to log in to iCloud to make changes to the spreadsheet that I shared?
    2. How do they save their changes after making them? I just checked the link created when sharing the spreadsheet and I didn't see a save button in the browser.
    3. Which browsers will others be able to view/edit the spreadsheet in? Will it also work on PC?
    Thanks!

    You can create a "master" path and then link all of the other paths to that one with an expression. You don't even need to write the expression yourself; you can just Alt-click the Mask Path property stopwatch for a child mask and drag the expression pick whip to the master Mask Path property. You can link the paths of shape layers the same way.

    Hello SMEvans32
    You can use iCloud to share the Calendar, that way she will always be up to date on that particular section of your work calendar. If you want to use iCloud, I would recommend backing up so you have a safe copy of your data.
