Sequence/Render Question HELP!!!!!!

I have imported a series of jpegs into FCP. For some reason, when I put them in my timeline, I have to render. Why is this? My sequence settings are as follows:
640x360, photo-jpeg codec, 23.98fps, square pixles.
Please help if you know the answer.

You'll have to render before final output, but normally sized JPEGs (RGB color mode) should have a RT preview in FCP - depending, of course, on your system's specs and what you RT settings are.

The infamous render question

I've read several posts concerning rendering and so far none of the answers have helped me. I have both red and yellow bars over my timeline so I know I need to render. When I go to render, the render bar pops up for a second then goes away (and doesn't render anything.) EVERYTHING in the Sequence > Render menu is checked.
Why won't it render?

Just so we can knock out the obvious, have you checked all render types in "Render All" and "Render Selection"? If you don't select anything and try to render a selection you may get the result you're getting, although a quick check in FCP 5.1 on my machine started to render the whole timeline.
On another track try the "auto render" feature in the "User Preferences / General". Turn it on and see if your video renders.

I forget security question, help me recover?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

About Java 2 opaque font color question, help needed!

About Java 2 opaque font color question, help needed!
I was trying to test opaque font (the string has a foreground color and a background color), but i can't find the method for doing that.
i can change foreground by Graphics2D.setPaint(Color.black).
Anybody know how to change the background of the string?
Thanks!

Hi. The way I'd do it would be to use the font metrics to find the length of a string and draw a rectangle and then drawstring over the rectangle. If you want an example, I can post it although I suspect theres a better way.

If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address set up then go to Express Lane and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Security' and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
You should get an email reply within, I think, about 24 to 48 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox)

Render Question, Need Pro HELP!!!

Hi, been ripping video off DVDs for an animatic i am cutting. Been using MPEG Streamclip and exporting the Quicktimes using 'Apple Motion JPEG A' codec. Now when i import them into Final Cut, i have to render them all!!! this will take years (there are quite a few!). I have tried setting my sequence setting to Motion JPEG A, but it still requires rendering!
PLEASE HELP! i am in dire need of a way to bypass rendering them all before i work with them.
Many thanks

Cool tip I recently found out:
1. Right click on the clip in the Browser, and select 'Make Multiclip Sequence.' Hit OK in the next box.
2. Delete the selected folder that's created in the Browser cos you dont need it and work off the new 'Multiclip Sequence' thats been created for you!

General Render question. Please help

Hi,
The other day I videotaped a performance and captured the footage to my iMac G5. I was able to export as a QT file relatively quickly. But the audio was poor so I deleted the audio tracks and imported an .aif file (recorded separately from a mixer feed to a tape deck). Now when I export as a QT file is takes a LONG time. Why is that? What format was the original audio track and can I convert the new audio track so it renders quickly? Thanks very much, this has been a real pain.
Robert

Only you can say what the format of the original was, as you are sitting in front of your computer...
Select your audio on the timeline and press command(apple)+9 to bring up Item properties... go to the Format tab... at the bottom is the audio Rate and Format info...
Then do the same for the new clean audio that you brought in... and cross reference with your sequence settings...
then report back.

Can someone help me with Premiere Pro 1.5.1 render question?

This just started to happen today....after I render my project goes all the way back to the start...What's up??? Is there a setting I can adjust?

In Edit>Preferences, you can check/uncheck Start Playback on Render, or similar syntax. I keep mine unchecked.
Good luck,
Hunt

Render Problem HELP!

I have had this problem before and no matter what I do, I must be missing something because it never gets resolved. I make a new project, I import my video quicktime. I create a new sequence and get the question box asking if I want to change the sequence settings to match the clip because they don't match. I say yes. And yet my clip still needs to be rendered. I compare the sequence settings and the clip settings and as far as I can tell, they are exactly the same. So why do I need to render? This is very frustrating because that should solve the problem. Thank you for any help!
Also, here are my settings:
Vid rate 23.98 fps
Frame Size 853 x 480
Compressor DVCPRO50 - NTSC
Pixel Aspect NTSC - CCIR 601
Anamorphic

Thank you! When I looked at the inspector in the QT player, it said
Format: DVCPRO50, 720 x 480 (853 x 480)
Current Size: 853 x 480 pixels (Actual)
I have no idea why it says 720 x 480 there and not in FCP in the settings. Do you know? That little hidden bit made all the difference. Once I changed that in FCP in the sequence settings, it doesn't have the red render bar (although the green one is there now.)
I was given the QT by someone else to work with, I thought it was a bizarre format to give me. I copied it from a HD to my computer.
Thank you again, it's always something really simple in the end. I never thought to look at the settings outside of FCP to figure it out.

FCP MINI MAC RENDER FARM HELP/ADVICE

A little help from someone who may know - have been getting advice from a myraid of people here in L.A. - even people in the Apple store - and living here in L.A. it seems many answer without really knowing - and - I have searched a bit here on the forums - as well as the web - and am getting very conflicting reports...
We are looking to increase renter times while editing in FCP HD - using plugins such as twixter and such - and - the render times are killing us - even cutting the time from 2 hours down to 1 and half hours would help - we are under a time crunch as our movie is due finished by the 15th of Jan - and - we have to use these effects - so - anyway - we were told that a cheap way of doing this was to buy some mini macs and farm them into the G5 and it would help.
Yet - I see where Patrick has posted a time ago that this would not work as the FCP will not allow.
Before we drop 2 grand on the mini's - anyone have any info that would help guide us.
The people at the Apple store seem to feel it would be no problem at all... but we are nervous.
Thank you for any help or links that could help us - and - or - guide us in how to set this up.
Thank you - Ward.

Yeah, that workflow isn't so great if you have to figure a cut out in a VFX app, then throw it back into your editing system, only to discover it doesn't really work. Backwards and forwards between apps...ugh. Editing is about the discovery process, and stepping out to other apps takes you away, not only from your dailies, but from the context. If you can pull this off in FCP, you'll be the better for it.
One question - are you also applying effects other than just Twixtor to these clips? If so, once you have them set as you like them, turn them off until you get the Twixtor effect right - then turn 'em back on again for a final render.
Another question - what are your media and render settings? What rez are we talking about here? Have you set Render rez to Precision YUV?
Yes, the mini will help, there's no denying, but it is a slower system, with a slower system drive, a slower memory bus, and you're gonna have to whack some more RAM in there - at least a Gig anyway. That's $599+$122. Plus the FCP licence (uhhhh....$1299) and a Twixtor render licence ($65 or $119 depending on Regular or Pro version). So it's over two grand already, and you don't have a monitor as well as that it's really not going to be an amazing performer. If you're gonna spend money, get some better hardware - maybe an iMac?
I think you should divide and conquer - move your non-FX 'story' editorial only onto the slowest system, and keep cutting - presumably you still have those battles too, as you're a month out on the movie. Assign someone else to the FX work on the G5. Spend all day setting up sequences, doing the best you can to guess that it's right - but without rendering. Render like crazed weasels overnight. Check the renders and make your best estimates at fixes fix in the morning - but do not render again. Put those sequences aside until later, and move on to new sequences, set the FX up, and again at night leave the beasts to render. Within a day or two you'll start honing in on the FX, then start locking them one by one. Pass back fully rendered clips to the story editing system, and bingo.
One final thought - but it's total shot in the dark. I'm guessing that if you had extremely low rez material, the effect would render even faster. Perhaps if you re-encoded some of your relevant dailes but at a MUCH lower rez, then worked out the Twixtor effect on that material, it would render faster? I don't know the answer as I've never done this on FCP, but on an Inferno or other VFX app, this is a very common way to massively speed up your workflow. When you have the effect right, you just copy the filter and apply it to the full-rez sequence. Might be worth testing to see if that helps?
