Why do i always have to render even if only move the footage in the timelin

I just edited something in fcp and this wasn't happening, how come it is now.. must be a setting? Thanks!

Rendering is required usually when applying effects or when the timeline codec / dimension differs from the clip settings. What are yours?
See Shane's tip on how to handle non-standard codecs...

Why do I always have to argue with BT?

Since an engineer visited me on Monday, my noise ration has been gradually creeping up, and my sync speed gradually falling.
Obviously they are both related.
So, I email the MODS and asked for them to lower my noise ratio to 3 up, 3 down, as it has been for years... infact it has been as low as 2, an I have had a perfectly stable connection.
The MODS reply?
The optimum noise margin is 6 dB, typically anything lower than that can cause stability and anything higher than that indicates a noise or instability problem (though a noise margin of 9 dB is still acceptable).
Whilst the sync speed may be somewhat lower than what it was in the past, it is normal for speeds to fluctuate and there's nothing there indicating your speed has decreased due to a fault as your noise margin is good and you have a low number of error seconds and no drop-outs over the last three + days.
I would advise though to keep an eye out for any deterioration in service (i.e. stability/drop-outs) as if the problem returns we can see about getting that checke out further.
I know all of that, Im not stupid!
I also know that a sync speed dropping from 18meg to 14meg is not usual fluctuations in speed, because I know my service, I've had it for 10 years!!!!
Im going to post stats from my previous supplier, then from BT.
Look at the difference.

It's possible the Wi-Fi is configured to work this way. The Wi-Fi in my office requires users to log in every time they connect.
Do other devices on the Wi-Fi network have the same issue? If so, it's a setting in the Wi-Fi router.

Why do I always have "Insufficent Content for Edit" error message ?

Hi all FCE experts,
May I ask why do I always have "Insufficent Content for Edit" error message when I tried to overwrite or replace a clip ?
Ok,this is what happen:
I have a clip A (4 secs) followed by clip B (4 secs). Then in between I add a video transition.
After a while, I reckon I want to change clip B with another clip (say clip C). So, I went to brower & search for clip C which is 2 mins long clip. To make sure there are enough handles, I went to the centre mark an In point then 4 sec later mark an Out point. So I drag this clips C of 4 secs from the Viewer (I marked the In & Out point in the viewer) to the Overlay canvas & do an Overwrite but it says "Insufficent Content for Edit".
I then tried Replace also got the "Insufficent Content for Edit" error message.
I then tried to delete the video transition and repeat the above for overwrite and replace, both times I got the same error.
Any ideas ?
Thanks

From your description there is no way either of these things should happen. Without seeing it I would guess there is something else going in your timeline or your clip which you're not telling us. *Perhaps there are I/O pints marked in the timeline*. Or the destination tracks are not set correctly. or something else.
Thanks Tom, you are correct.
I have In Point & Out Point marked on the Timeline. I used it when I did FILE > EXPORT and left it there. But once I cleared it, I am able to replace it with another clip.
But I am still puzzled as to why I cannot do any overwrite or replace when there is I/O points marked on the Timeline ? Especially when the section of clips I wanted to overwrite or replaced are located outside of the I/O points ?
Thanks

Why i keep seeing email on iphone, even after i deleted it directly from the server?

Why i keep seeing email on iphone, even after i deleted it directly from the server?
This means it doesnt sync the server inbox, only keeps pushing new emails!
How to force it to realy sync every time the server inbox, and just show me in the iphone inbox exactly what i see in the server inbox???

I'm just fresh in iOS, but dont think its a POP/IMAP matter.
Always used mobile push email apps on symbian and android with POP and never had this issue.
My usual former scheme is:
a) My main email client is Outlook at my laptop (POP). This one is the master email client and after download new emails deletes them at the server.
b) My secondary is a mobile email client (also POP) - just to see whats going on and maybe reply here and there.
Meaning, laptop does cut/paste and mobile does copy/paste
So:
a) If i download a new email first using my laptop, it will never be pushed latter from iphone (its not there anymore).
b) If i download a new email first using my mobile app, and only then download it with laptop, it is still there available, and then gets deleted at the server.
c) If i download a new email first using my mobile app and if i manualy delete it and then perform another sync, then this email is deleted at server, and will be no more available for download to laptop.
Resuming:
1- The laptop ask to server what's in the inbox, downloads it all and then order the server to kill them all.
2- The iphone only ask whats new and downloads it all.
3- The iphone SHOULD ask server what's new, AND ask server what was removed from server inbox since last sync, AND tell server wich emails were removed at iphone since last sync.
As far i remember, at least one symbian app called Profimail does all this quite perfectly...
Any ideas?

Why do I always have to re-render and re-connect project?!?

Hoping someone can help me with what I imagine is a pretty basic issue...
Whenever I open my ProRes 422 HQ project, I always see two problems:
(1) I get a warning that 160 audio files need to be reconnected
(2) About 20% of my timeline requires rendering for video and audio
Neither of the above is a problem in and of itself. I simply reconnect the audio files and render out the unrendered timeline sections.
I then SAVE my project and work normally. And of course I SAVE again just before I quit for the day (in addition to frequent auto-saves).
But the next day, when I boot up my Mac and re-open the project, I still see the above two issues! I then have to reconnect media AGAIN and render the same sections AGAIN! Never fails.
How come these changes never get saved? What can I do to ensure that these items get saved? The reconnecting media is not a big deal but the re-rendering takes an hour.
Any input appreciated.

Could be a system/os problem or might be a corrupt sequence or project in fcp.
Simplest thing to do, create a new sequence with the same settings and copy everything from the old sequence to the new.
Still have the same problem? Try copying your sequence to a new project.
As a test, you might try changing your render scratch disk to your startup drive as a test and see if the problem persists.
Make sure your esata card's drivers are up to date.
Are you absolutely positive all clip settings match the sequence settings? Could be a slight difference in audio sampling or someting of the like causing the need to render certain clips. Is it the same clips that always require rendering. Put the playhead on a clip in the sequence that requires rendering and match frame (f) and edit into a new sequence. When fcp asks if you want to match sequence settings to clip, say yes. Does it require rendering? If not, there must be some difference between the clip settings and the original sequence settings.

Why do i CONSTANTLY have to render my vids?

Ok so i've been using FCE since Christmas or thereabouts and have been loving it. However, I've noticed that I need to render absolutly everything that I do. Transitions, audio or video filters, or just moving my clips in the timeline. You name it, I have to render it. I use an older panasonic camcorder (i don't know the exact name) and I have been exporting my vids as FCE xml docs. I use the SD card and a reader for it, and today i even tried using a usb. Anyone got any ideas?? Please!!!

Hi(Bonjour)!
Please, help us to help you:
1) what is the exact camera model?
2) what format(s) it shoots?
3) what preset did you choose in easy setup dialog in FCE?
4) seelct sequence in browser and use get info contextual menu and look what is sequence format there.
Sometimes, "this thing"'s material has to be converted (to a format supoorted natively in FCE to avoid rendering) prior importing in FCE. There is the free utility MPEG Streamclip from www.squared5.com that performs a such job.

Do I always have to Render?

I'm new!
I noticed every time I insert a clip into the timeline it wants me to Render it before I can play it back. Is there anyway around this or do I have to render for all new clips and crossfades/Effects?
I think it's because of the file format I have which is not common for FCP. The format is .TOD coming from a JVC HD Camcorder. The source window playsback jerky, then I need to render it always after inserting.
Does this mean I need to convert all my HD camera files to a different format such as mov. or AVI.?
Thanks in advance.

When working with HDV you most likely will need to render because of GOP structure. You should encode to pro res to avoid rendering of footage. HDV is GOP (group of pictures) meaning it has one frame with all the pixel information on it, the iframe, with subsequent frames only showing the changes to pixels between it and the iframe. This causes need for render when editing but allows HDV to be captured in smaller file sizes.
In basic terms when you encode your footage to pro res during transfer you make the file all iframe so every frame has all the pixel information in it. This makes for larger file sizes but there's no need to render. I'd get a RAID setup and convert to pro res for editing to avoid render.
Of course you'd still want to confirm that your sequence settings match your source footage and also turn real time to dynamic. Also, FWIW FCS2 already comes with the Quicktime Pro MPEG-2 video encoder plug-in so yeah you blew $20 for nothing on that one.

#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 always have a badge on Messages app?

I just recently updated my phone to iOS 7 and then restored my phone from the backup. As soon as the backup was restored, I had a notification badge on my messages app telling me that I had an unread message, however when I open the app, I have no unread messages. When I open Messages on my MacBook, I also have no unread messages. When I do get a message, the badges stack (so for one unread message, the badge will say "2" even though there's only one). Here's what I tried:
1. Opening and closing all conversations on both my iPhone 5 and MacBook (my only two Apple devices using my iMessage account)
2. Rebooting my phone
3. Hard resetting the messages app, and closing it from the multitask switcher
4. Signing out and deactivating my iMessage account on my MacBook
5. Signing out and signing back into iMessage on my phone
I'm not sure what else to try besides deleting all my conversations or just restoring and starting from scratch, and I don't want to either of those things. I know this was happening in beta, but I feel like that problem would have been addressed by now. What else is there that I can do that might make the incorrect badge go away?

Hi jstoneshelton,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your update to Yosemite. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. From what you have said, it sounds like it may be an issue either saving or accessing saved passwords, possibly involving Keychain, or an issue with Autofill in Safari. You may find the following articles helpful in clarifying the possible issues (the second is aimed at Safari under Mavericks, but should still apply to Yosemite):

Why do i constantly have to render each change!?!

Hi,
I'm pretty new to final cut, my only previous experience of video editing is imovie.
however, im finding editing very tedious, due to constantly having to render almost every change.
i am working with low res AIC clips, 640x480, and they play back fine in the viewer. however, on the timeline, they appear with a red bar above, meaning i cant play them back in real time? but i just did! this is with no effects/transitions, just the plain clip. i can render it and play it back fine in the canvas, but if i add one of the supposedly real time rendering transitions, the ones listed in bold, they get a red bar and need rendering.
now i know my 1.83, 1gb mac mini isnt a monster of power, but surely it can playback footage without needing to render it? surely it can playback a simple cross fade with no need to render? imovie can!
im convinced there's simply something wrong with how im working, please let me know if you have any ideas.
other than this, im finding the power and flexibility of final cut awesome, it opens up a new dimension.
Thanks!
Thomas.

unfortunately, fce doesn't work like imovie in that it will render automatically while you're working. However, a nice way to get around this is to turn your RT settings to unlimited (on the left of the timeline) while you're doing most of the editing, then when you're done turn the settings back to safe and render it all out. This allows you to play it (albeit a little slower) after changing some things without having to render it out all the time.
Good luck!

Why are RMAs always rendered behind any other Annotation (e. g. Watermark) on the page?

I cannot seem to get an RMA be played in front of another Annotation on the page, even if the RMA is added after the other Annotation (and the indirect object reference of the RMA goes after the other one in the /Annots array of the page dictionary). As an example, if there is a watermark on the page, it is rendered on top of (that is, overlaying) the activated RMA which is not what I want. Is there a way to force RMAs to be rendered in front of other annotations?

Inactive RMAs are treated as page content, so any regular annotations (or layers such as watermarks) will naturally go over them. You can put inactive RMAs into OCGs and stack them among other stuff on the page, as you're only seeing the poster image.
Active RMAs always bubble to the top of the display stack, with one exception - a watermark can still appear above an active RMA provided the watermark has the scaling option turned on.

Why do i always have to render even if only move the footage in the timelin
