Rendering every time I add a clip?

Hello,
I am puzzled why I have to render my sequence every time (if I want to see it in real time) after I added it to the timeline. This happens with ordinary dv, 29.97 clips, audio clips etc. Does it have to do with preference settings somewhere? Do you have recommendations to optimize editing? I have selected "unlimited RT" to avoid the nasty "red bar" at the top, but still have to render it to see it in real time on an NTSC monitor.
Thanks,
Jordan

In my employment contract; section C, paragraph 2, sub-para f states: "If settings of said aforementioned system are not returned to the exact state to which the party of the first part (aka ME) left them, the party of the first part is indemnified against any prejudicial outcome from stomping the crap out of the party of the second part (any one else) who screwed up said aforementioned system."
If you do not have such language in your contract, you should think about getting it included in the next re-negotiation. The piece of mind it generates is enormous.

Rendering every time I drop a clip on the timeline

I'm not sure if this is fixable. I somehow accidentally shot in hdv-sd60p on a jvc. When I captured the clips into fce4 they were in their "native" settings (853x480). Is there any way I'll be able to edit these clips without first having to render them. I've got over 2 hours of footage and the render times will take forever.

You could try converting the clips to DV using MPEG Streamclip, then import the resulting QT DV clips into FCE. In MPEG Streamclip, select Export to QuickTime, then select Compression = "Apple DV/DVCPRO NTSC" with a 720x480 frame size. I don't think that selecting "Other" frame size will work, I suspect it would still require rendering once in FCE.
Alternatives
You could also try using MPEG Streamclip to convert the video to Apple Intermediate Codec, selecting the 1280x720 (HDTV 720p) frame size .
You might look into whether your camcorder can downconvert the video to DV during playback, and recapture the video in FCE using the DV-NTSC easy setup.
Provided one of these 3 techniques works, it will be better & faster than rendering your existing video clips in FCE.

Premiere Pro shutting down every time I add clip into sequence.

"Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."
I've tried over 15 times, different clips, new projects. Every time I drag a clip into a sequence or even create a sequence from a clip Premiere is shutting down.
How can I resolve this?
Thank you for your time.

Every time I add a light to a scene in After Effects the program freezes

This just started happening?? Please help
Every time I add a light to a scene in After Effects the program freezes

What is your After Effects version number? You said you're running "CS6", so the version number should start with 11. The latest version of CS6 is 11.0.4 - do you have that? (The latest version of AE is 13.2.0.49, in case anyone was wondering).
Do you have your comp set to standard renderer or ray-traced?
What are your computer specs?

Have to render every time I add text

Hello,
I'm subtitling a large project using FCP7 and every time I add text I have to render it the text.
This is slowing down my workflow. How can I eliminate the rendering?

What codec does your source footage use?
The source footage was VOB that was exported to Quicktime using ProRes 422 LT
What codec is used in your Sequence setting?
In sequence settings the compressor is set also to Apple ProRes 422 LT
What are the RT settings?
Render Control Settings: Filters & Flame Blending Selected. Frame Rate and Resolution 100% Coded same as Sequence Codec. Quality Normal. Always use best quality is deselected.
What are you using to create the text?
Just the FCP Text Generator.
If you are using external titling software, what color space and format are the files saved in?
Nope.
Where is the source footage located on your computer?
On an external drive, and the project file is on my internal hard drive.
What Mac model are you using, which version of Mac OS X, what CPU and how much RAM?
iMac from 2006, 10.5.8 2GHz Intel Core Duo 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

I have to render every time i move a clip!

i am a musician and im trying to use fcp to edit my videos to match my final product with my mp3 final project audio from garage band. i recorded in photobooth and recorded at the same time as garage band using my condenser mic for better audio. i changed my files to pro res 422, but every time i move any clip some portion needs to be re rendered, ive set the sequence to pro res 422 but i still cant figure out whats going on. i have a drum, piano, vocal, guitar videos that all match to the audio but i cant really do much when it takes 14 minutes to render a 3 minute clip.
this is what it looks like.

Your problem stems from the video recording software you used. The clips in your browser are all showing as frame rates ranging from 9fps to 11fps. But your sequence is 29.97. FCP is trying to stretch those video files out to match the sequence frame rate, but it requires rendering to do so.
Some video capture programs produce videos that are in some way incompatible with FCP because FCP reads the fps wrong. Snapz Pro is one, there are probably others. If you actually recorded the files in 29.97, then you need to run them through compressor to make them FCP compatible. Choose a pro res preset, but make sure that in the video settings that 29.97 is selected (and not "current").

I have to WIPE iPod every time I add music to iTunes!

Hi. I seem to have everyone's problem at once.
I've just upgraded to an 80Gb Video iPod after filling up my old 20Gb click-wheel model, which still works as wonderfully as the day I bought it over 4 years ago. My new model is, however, driving me crazy! On first plugging it in, I got the Unknown error -48 that others have described, and was told that I couldn't sync. I updated, I restored, I synced again. Fine - the music was there even though iTunes was still telling me that I had the -48 error. However, every time I add a CD to my iTunes collection and then plug in my iPod, I find that the music is not added. What's more, I'm told that my iPod is synced with another iTunes library and that if I want to sync with this one it will erase all data and start over - this takes several hours and is totally unacceptable.
I also get the flashing 'do not disconnect' sign permanently whenever connected, even if there's nothing being transferred.
Weirdly, if I click on the iPod in my 'Devices' list in iTunes, I find all the menu options changed and grayed out. If I try and select, say, 'sync music' or 'sync movies' I get a message asking me if I really want to do that, since "all existing content on the iPod will be removed and replaced with the contents of your iTunes Library".
I'm a humble Apple fan who's always used Apple and is used to intuitive devices. This experience is demoralising and I'm regretting my expensive and frustrating purchase even after 1 week. Please can someone help? Do I have to send this device back to Apple?

At the moment there seems to be no permanent fix for error -48. The Apple fix of erasing the iPod with Disk Utility and restoring with iTunes that is mentioned in various posts appears to work for some and not others. This is the workaround I'm currently using until a reliable fix comes along. Give it a try and it may help with the secondary problems you are also experiencing.
Set up iTunes "not" to open when you connect the iPod.
Enable Disk Use on the iPod
Eject the iPod and shut down iTunes
Reconnect the iPod and open Disk Utility
Click on your iPod in the Utility pane and choose Repair Disk which will find and fix a number of errors.
Close Disk Utility and open iTunes and your iPod should connect and update as usual.
Keep the settings above and each time you connect the iPod to update it run Disk Utility repair as above before opening iTunes. It's far from being a acceptable answer but until a permanent one comes along I've found that it works for me.

Usimg time machine-every time I add/delete music in itunes library does time machine backup entire file? If so,an I set it up to just backup added music?

It shouldn't be backing up the whole thing again, just the changes.

Stop email every time someone adds event to shared calendar?

I have searched high and low for a solution to this, but can't find it anywhere. I share an iCal calendar with someone via iCloud. We both have read/write priveleges, but he created the calendar. In the "Get Info" for this calendar, I have Ignore Alerts checked. But every time he adds or modifies a calendar event, I get an email. How can I stop the emails? For some reason, the calendars I share with him don't generate emails to his inbox - obviously there's a setting that's different somewhere, but we can't figure out what it is. Can anyone help?

as i wrote there Re: How do you stop receiving notifications about updated calendar events?:
to NOT get email notification about updated events from a shared calendar you subscribed to you have to uncheck "events affect availability" in that calendars "info" (mac os X.7 and X.8: iCal —> calendars dropdown —> right click on the subscribed calendar —> choose "get info" from the context-menu —> uncheck "events affect availability")

Every time I add a photo to a slideshow it messes up my entire slideshow. It puts the pics in a completely different order. What can I do to stop this?

When using iphoto, every time I add a photo to a slideshow, it rearranges all the photos in the slideshow. Then I have to go back and put them back in the order that I wanted. What can I do so it doesn't do this?

Are you using a particular theme? In the Classic theme when I add a new photo to the mix it ends up at the end of the slideshow or at the farthest right in the thumbnail tray.

Why does my husband get e-mails every time I add an event to our shared calendar

My husband and I share a calendar through the cloud. Every time I add an event to our shared calendar, in addition to the event showing up on his calendar on his ipad or iphone, he gets an e-mail saying I've added an event. How do I turn off the e-mail notices?

as far as i understand iCal it is on the "receivers/subscribers" side to deal with email-updates (and not on the "senders/changers" side):
snippet from my Re: How do you stop receiving notifications about updated calendar events? (there is a screenshot as well):

Semi - Smart Albums - all I want is to update iPhoto every time I add a new

after reading the iPhoto Help files descriptions of Standard and Smart - Im after Semi - Smart.
Standard: You can also create an album by dragging a folder of photos from the Finder into an empty part of iPhoto's Source list. iPhoto creates an album with the folder's name and imports all photos contained in the folder.
- but what iPhoto 6 wont do is automatically update itself every time I add a new pic into the source folder.
Smart Folder: "You can make a Smart Album that contains only certain types of photos, photos with high ratings, or photos that match other criteria, including EXIF information, such as a specific shutter speed or camera model....
iPhoto automatically modifies a Smart Album when any photo that matches the album's settings is added to or removed from your library."
but what iPhoto 6 wont do is to simply capture the folder name as Ive named it in my source folder structure.
So Im after:
a. drag a folder ( for example, cars, gemstones, Klimit art) into the iPhoto source pane, it becomes a semi-smart folder in that it watches every new change I make to the source files on my computer. I add a file, iPhoto 6 adds it. I delete one, it deletes it. I mod it - you get the game here.
Do I need to upgrade iPhoto to handle this rudimentary task ? Seems like this action would be built in - am I missing something here ?
TIA

will try that out, thanks for the tip.
Who would want to have to use Automator or Applescript to make such a rudimentary function enabled within iPhoto ? I would guess 95% of Mac users never use those things. The whole point of Mac is to keep your life from having to descend into mundane technical details, thus freeing one for more time with life's higher level tasks. This should be basic from-day-one type behavior in any photo app.
Will chime back in on how difficult it get iPhoto to auto-update itself with every new pic I add/subtract to these watched folders.
