Video needs render

using fcp 4.5/hd i have captured hdv material by downconverting it during capture and using letterbox... it plays fine in the viewer window... when i make an edit to the timeline it tells me the video needs render, and would take a long time for a single clip... i'm guessing the sequence settings are wrong....
what should they be?
thanks

The sequence settings much match. If you select the proper easy setup then the next seq you make will match the Easy Setup. If that matches you settings you are good.
Here's a quick hack to always get those right.

Hi there,
As Shane says, the audio needs to be in the right format to avoid renders, you might find this software useful for future ref - "loader" from digital heaven theres a review here

Is it possible to hook a USB external hard drive to an iPad?.....the HD has video on it that I wanna watch on my iPad but don't wanna store it on iPad or iTunes....and way format does the video need to be in to watch on iPad?

Is it possible to hook a USB external hard drive to an iPad?.....the HD has video on it that I wanna watch on my iPad but don't wanna store it on iPad or iTunes....and way format does the video need to be in to watch on iPad?

There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.
The Kingston Wi-Drive, which costs $50 for the 16 Gigabyte, and then $30 more for every 16 gigs more. It works by you turning it on and then accessing the files on it from an app that you download on your iDevice. You can access music, movies, and other stuff. No connections or anything, it works like a WiFi connection, you connect to it from the setting on the iPad under wireless networks.
Then there is the Seagate GoFlex, which some would recommend over the Wi-Drive. But this one costs $199 and had 500 Gigabytes of storage. It works the sameway as the Kingston: no wires, runs over its wireless connection. You can actually fit up to 300 HD movies on it.
Another option:
Expand your iPad's storage capacity with HyperDrive

My video needs to go on a SD DVD single layer-it is 1h 51m long-the only way I can make is fit is encode H. 264-not ideal-I am using the Share option in FCP-native media was shot 980x720...any other way to do this??

To play on DVD Players, it has to be MPEG2.
It's under 2 hours; I'm surprised it won't fit. If not, get Compressor and lower the bit rate to fit.
The native resolution was 980X720…you mean 960?
It will all be resized to 720X480, which is DVD standard.

Why does some video need to be rendered in FCE 4 before I can work on it?

I've been trying to get a handle on FCE 4 because it's very different than iMovie '08. I have a bunch of content in iMovie that I'd like to mess with in FCE 4, so I exported from iMovie as FCE XML and imported in FCE. There is some video that I re-encoded to Quicktime from ASF and it seems to need to be rendered before it will show up in the Canvas in FCE 4. FCE shows this content as DV/DVCPRO - NTSC under "Compressor" in the browser. Other stuff that was taken off my Sony HDR-SR7 is available in FCE 4 without any problems. This shows up as Apple Intermediate Coded in the browser.
What's the deal with rendering anyway? Why does FCE need to "render" video to add things like effects when iMovie can add effects, etc at will with no "rendering" required?

FCE can do certain effects on the fly without rendering. Some more elaborate transitions, like 3D wipes, require too much processor time to do them in real time. My understanding is that Macs with greater on-board processing power do more of these effects in real time, while slower machines must render.
iMovie can do these effects on the fly because it's working with far less information. Think of iMovie works in the DV format while FCE works in the DV/DVCPRO-NTSC format. It's too subtle a name difference but the reality is quite different. It's like editing still pictures in compressed, lossy JPEG format vs. uncompressed TIFF format. Think about how long it takes your computer to open a photo of say, 8x10" 300 dpi in TIFF vs. that same file in JPEG. Well, that's what FCE has to do. It's working in the video equivalent of TIFF -- 30 frames per second. So there's a greater demand on your processor by a factor of 10. You can see this in action in Quicktime. Save a raw video import 720x480 in .dv and then in DV/DVCPRO-NTSC format and then play it back. The .dv will probably play smoothly while the DV/DVCPRO-NTSC (.mov) will hang up on play-back. It's just too much for your process to display all of those full resolution images so rapidly. And if you look at the two images side-by-side (particularly titles) you'll see how sharp and clear the .mov file is compared to the compressed .dv file.
Hope this helps.

Title 3D needs render?

Hi all,
So I'm editing simple titles to music (black background, white text...one/two words for each clip, less than a couple seconds long each). Anyway, I make one, Option-Click and drag, then double click and change the word. Things going well for a while. I get to 20 or so, and the 21st one gives me an Orange render line. ***? Everything else is fine, but NOW I have to render a Title 3D? Since when? The sequence is one video track, and the other 20 clips (which are all the same) don't have to be rendered. Any ideas?
Thanks
Jonathan

Thanks for the reply, David.
You're welcome, most of the time I just yelled at.
But I'm wondering...the titles aren't stacked, so it's not doing anything really complicated.
Untrue. you're calling a very complex filter, a product from Boris. See all of those parameters? Each one is part of the fitler's activity and processor demand.
It's like I have one long Title 3D.
Each iteration is a new filter. This is farily fundamental to how NLEs work, you'll get used to it.
I thought that if you add graphics and effects on top of each other, THEN you would need to render.
There are many ways to dramatically simplify rendering but they're advanced postproduction processes. You develop them as your experience grows. For instance, you could build a single 3D graphic that holds your settings and then continue to compose the rest of your elements as plain text. When you start to get closer to locking down the production, you go back and start applying the 3D attributes and making final corrections to text content. This eliminates tons of wasted time and allows you to make spelling and text formatting changes without extensive rendering.

Title needs render on FCP4.1

Hi there guys !
I am sub titling a short film that I've done but I started to develop this rendering problem. I might have the settings wrong and that's why is asking me to render.
I would understand if I had a lot of efx on the film or three or four layers on top of each other but on my case I only have one and the title which is on V3. As soon as I drop it over the red line comes on and I need to render.
Now that I am trimming some of the shots it is annoying to render each title in order to preview it.
I need to render even I change the contrast and brightness of the picture.
I would understand if I was using a slow machine but I have a dual 2GIG G5 with 1.5 gig ram and plenty disc space.
Thank you for you're time
Regards

Any thime you put a title over picture you need to render.
I've always had to render. If the title is all alone...V1, no video, then it doesn't require rendering, but over picture...always.

Speed Up video wont render correctly

Im am using CS4 Premire Pro,
I am using uncompressed TGA frames at 23.98 FPS as the video,
i speed it up to 106.8% but when i render it for previewing, it dosent speed up and it goes out of scale.
when i export it, it is fine.
can anyone help?

when i did speed up the video instead of changing the framerate non-rendered (although at around 6 FPS) showed fine while previewing,
but when paused it shows it at normal framerate (hope that makes sense)
that made no sense to me...
boy, we're making no headway here...the sailing ship is " in irons "....

mabye it is the whole square pixels thing, the original AVI was compressed into Xvid from a NTSC DVD,
which i think is 4:3 not 1:1 (correct me if im wrong)
when you exported from VirtDub it does what it does to make the TGA...so thats what you need to match with your project settings...which I think you did...soooo it doesnt matter where the TGA came from really...unless there's some weird info in those files...you can open a single frame in notepad and scroll thru all the code and see if there's anything strange in there if you want...might be interesting to look at it anyway..
But really, I think what might be best is to convert the AVI ( with XVid ) to something else and then export your stills from that...
I just don't know what can convert the original AVI ....will google it some more...look for something...

Importing Video - needs rendering

This may have been asked, so I'm sorry if I'm bringing up a constantly asked question. If I am (which I probably am) then could anyone direct me to a link instead of having to answer this questions?
I am importing a video into the program and when I put it in the time line the red bar appears above it indicating it is not rendered. Is there any way I can set it to automatically render when I drag n' drop it in?
thanks.

You should convert your iSight video to DV-NTSC format before bringing it into FCE. There's a free utility called MPEG Streamclip (http://www.squared5.com/) which can do the conversion. Open your iSight video in Streamclip, then export to QuickTime using the DV-NTSC settings:
Compression Apple DV/DVCPRO-NTSC
Sound @48kHz (or 32kHz, depending on your Easy Setup)
Frame Rate 29.97
You may also need the QuickTime MPEG Playback Component if you don't have it, a $20 download from Apple. (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/) I don't think you need this, as I believe it's only necessary to deal with MPEG2 content.

3 minutes video need 6 hours Rendering...

Today i started to render a video clip which have at least 20 videos with green screen keygen and a lot of effects like smoke, color correction etc. The video is 3 minutes and to render it i need 6 hours... Is this normal, i have to change some settings or i need to upgrade my computer? My computer is Intel Core i3, Graphic Card: GT440, 8GB Ram.

Yeah I've had projects where sections have taken that long per frame especially if there's tons of lights and 3D layers. If you're running AE CS5 there's a useful script for background rendering that gives you the time taken per frame so you can have a better estimate of the full render time. Check it out. http://www.andrewandoru.com/2010/03/17/labs-aerender/ It's just a droplet so you don't even have to open AE and that might help speed up the full render time.

Ipod video needs to be reset when using shuffle songs.

I like to shuffle my 4800 plus songs on my new ipod, but I have noticed that after turning it off for an extended period of time usually a couple hours or over night, it needs to be reset. I have not tried to retore it as of yet, but I plan on to see if that helps. Has anyone else experienced this?
Ipod video 5.5 Windows XP

restore did not work, guess I'll just have to live with it until apple does a firmware upgrade.

I need some help with my video - need to blur some footage.

Hi!
I was wondering if somebody could help me out with my video. I've got some video footage downloaded from the internet (with permission, of course) and I was wondering if there is any way I could blur the clip and then have it slowly fade into focus. I know how to blur the video (the Gaussian blur effect), but I basically want it to look like I've filmed the footage myself and I'm slowly turning the focus wheel until the image is in focus.
Obviously it's quite easy to do in-camera but for my film I needed footage of animals and wasn't able to film any of my own so I needed to source footage online. It's really imperative to my production that I get this blur thing working so if anyone can please explain to me the easiest way to do it then I would be extremely thankful! (That's if it is possible at all... I sure hope so)
I've searched online but so far I've only been able to find videos explaining how to blur a small section of the image (e.g. blurring out logos, faces, etc)
Thanks a lot

For what you want to do, the 'Camera Blur' effect (Windows only)
will work much better than Gaussian Blur.
Add the effect to the clip (or to an Adjustment Layer above to the clip),
then use keyframes to change the amount of blur over a specified
period of time.

Video wont render in FireFox on Mac?

Hi guys,

This works in all other browsers for me - except FireFox on Mac. The video elements dont even render.
Any suggestions?
THanks!

You can encode your mp4 file to ogv or webm, and as long as it has the same file name as your mp4 file (sans extension) when you import it into your composition, Animate will be automatically group it with your mp4 file so the video element has two sources - which should play in all HTML5 web browsers (browsers download only the first file they support, and not the others).
If you don't happen to name it the same, you can always drag and drop it in the Library so it's in the same video group.
