Why must I render every video?

It's so annoying... every time I import a video from my camera with Log and Capture or import a video from a saved file, I must render it.. and when it's 10 minutes long it can take up to an hour. Why? is there no way to have a FCP-ready video?

Hello there -
Lets check a couple things. Are you working with DV? When you in log and capture, your capture settings show you are capturing in this codec? Once video has been captured your sequence settings match the codec you captured with?

Why I cant render the video file

Currently I am doing the dvd menu, and my content is all input jpg file as I try to create a 'photo' DVD for my client. Is that possible?Or I need to convert it become mpeg file format just enable to render. As I want my client select the picture them want to look rather than slide show is taking plenty of time.
Regards,
Michael

Hello Bill, thanks for replaying. Currently I was doing the dvd menu as I
wish to do more alike in flash animation. As I am beginner of the En user, I
didnt know about how the software can help me to create the animation as
flash type. Of course, I try to find some tutorial through websites and
youtube. But none of the technical is I look for.
Yes! I importing the JPEG file into the En to try create more alike 'flash'
animation within the dvd to deliver my audience more incredible feeling.
Unlike normal DVD we bought that only have a simple transaction between each
scene such as fade in & out. As I wish to create more interaction between
each scene.
The pixel dimension of the JPEG file is 1920 x 1280.
About the Encore unable to render, is mean that I found the tutorial that
them able to pre-render the video with the setting them want and publish to
pretest whether all the icon and menu is able function... but when I try,
the icon of the render is not function...
By the way, did Flash .swf file able to convert become dvd format and burn
into the dvd disc and play in the dvd player?And also, please advice me any
kind of solution can solve my problem.
Now, I was using the flash to create the dvd interface as well as the
transaction between. As this project I wish to impress my client that dvd
can also be very creative and useful as a powerful & influence multimedia
tools to communication with customer.
Hope to heard from you soon!
Michael.

Why do I have to render every video clip?

Every clip I put in FCE has to be rendered, why? Is there a setting I have to change? I have a canon hv-20 and I'm using the 1080i setting in the easy setup menu. Thanks for any help!

If they are identical then I can't help you. There is no reason why you would have to render. Which is that you have to render, video or audio or both? The render line is divided is divided into two thin stripes, upper for video, lower for audio.

Why must I restore every time?

For a few weeks now, every time I want to sync, I have to restore my iPod. iTunes shows all my music in there, and the correct amount of data on the iPod, but it won't sync. Why? I use this for my job, and I don't always have 20 minutes free to restore when I want to add a song or rearrange them. Please help me.

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.

Must render every clip ????

Hi All,
I shot a project using the XL2 in 24p /16:9 in FCP I'm using the 24p preset but everytime iI bring a clip in the timeline it must be render. Can you guys tell what I'm doing wrong or is it normal for this to happen. If there is a work around please post it. I have a music video to complete but having to render every clip in the timeline is going to take forever.
Thanks.

Must render every file first????

Hi,
From reading other posts this sounds like it may be a firewire/pci card/ external hard drive issue. I cannot import onto my external hd (which is set up for Mac OS extended) from FCP. I either have to import onto the G5's internal HD then copy onto the external hd or use iMovie to import clips directly to external hd. But now that they are there, when I bring them into a FCP project, they hiccup in the viewer and when I drag them into the timeline, they all have to be rendered first. I have never had that problem. It is already a hassle enough the way I have to get clips onto the external hd, am I stuck with rendering each clip or is there a setting that I must not have right.
Thanks
Dave
PS Each clip plays just fine as a standalone Quicktime File.

Don't capture with iMovie. It saves as a different type of file that FCP does not like.
Make sure your sequence settings match the clips you are putting on there (which will be impossible for files captured in imovie). The biggest cause of having to render every file is sequence settings that don't match the video clips being put on the sequence.
Search first. This comes up daily.

Render every single video

Why do I need to render every single video that I imported and and filters too? Why is that so?

Have you tried the free MPEG Streamclip ?
If not, open your H264 videos in MPEG Streamclip and then Export to QuickTime (cmd-E - NOT Export to DV!) with Compression: Apple DV-PAL (or Apple DV-DVCPRO/NTSC), Quality: 100%, fps: 25 for PAL or 29,97 for NTSC, Audio: uncompressed, Stereo, 48 KHz.
When imported to FCE, the resulting .mov will have both video and audio and will not require video nor audio rendering.

Why does adobe premier elements render my video everytime i change something in it even when i have lots more of the video to edit? other editing software only seems to render at the start then lets you edit until your ready to save at the end. Constant

why does adobe premier elements render my video everytime i change something in it even when i have lots more of the video to edit? other editing software only seems to render at the start then lets you edit until your ready to save at the end. Constant rendering means its almost impossible to edit anything. Please help.

What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system is it running? It will not influence my answer but will give me information in case I need to get into version specifics to detail my answer further.
Timeline rendering is a preview matter. It does not fix anything, but it is your window of opportunity to catch of problem sooner than latter. If the Timeline rendering indicator displays orange (11 or higher) for the line above the Timeline content, that is the project telling you that you are not getting the best possible preview of the playback of that content in the Edit area monitor. And, every time you edit a file, you have altered the file from the time before. So, if you want to see the best possible for what you now have, you Timeline render. This is particularly helpful when you are dealing with titles, effects, transitions, and non native formats. You cannot turn off the Timeline render indicator system, at least none that I have ever found nor seen reported. You can do selective Timeline rendering by having the gray tabs of the Work Area Bar span only the Timeline segment that you want Timeline rendered.
Consequently, you either ignore the Timeline render indicator system, move on in the project, and take your chances in the outcome or you Timeline render to get your best possible preview if the Timeline render indicator is suggesting that you do so.
I am not approving or disapproving of this project feature, just commenting on the what is.
This is not Adobe. Rather user to user. If you want to have your voice heard at Adobe, you might consider filing an Adobe Feature Request Bug Report Form.

Please consider.

Add On...it is also possible to do Timeline rendering in a project, save close the project, and reopen it to find your previously "green" lined content now "orange", indicating unrendered. Yet the preview files generated originally by Timeline rendering are still existing in their hard drive save location. That is another story for other time.

Help! images won't render to video

I am a student in animation and media design. I have previously used photoshop in CS4 to animate and I have just upgraded to creative cloud. I have tried to animate using photoshop 6 and I can't get my drawings to render to video. Another student thought that it was rendering and just too fast for me to see it. But I tried all the different settings and every one that I did is rendering the same way. I get a play screen to pop up and it shows the musical note in the screen and it looks like it plays but there are no images. Can you please help me?

When using images, you need to determine the correct fps {frames per sec} If you only have 3 images (default is approx. 30 fps) That would mean your animation would be done in 1/10th of a second. For it to last a full second the fps would have to be set to 3fps. In the timeline panel there is an icon in the upper right hand corner, it should have a menu item for setting the fps.
If it isn't there, lets us know and someone can figure out why.

FC asks me to render every title...

I'm subtitling a 15-minute doc and I've gone halfway through without any issues. Suddenly, FC just started to ask me to render every new title I'm inserting, I haven't changed anything or added any video/audio track to the timeline. I shouldn't be asked to render every title to view it in real time right? Otherwise my subtitling is going to take much more time.
Any suggestions as why it just started to require rendering?
Thanks
Paula

Paula,
I use the FCP text generator quite often for subtitling. I would recommend setting the RT to Unlimited instead of Safe. For each text generator that is added to the timeline, you will get a render bar. Just keep adding your text until you're ready to play it back, then render. With Unlimited RT (Orange render bar), you should be able to play back the timeline without too many dropped frames.

My video playback out...every video shakes/flashes/doesn't play right. What's wrong? I thought the hard drive was too full, but I just deleted 125gigs, rebooted and it still flashes and doesn't play videos. This is true for youtube, ads, foxnews videos...

Update: The iBook can play any 480p video and higher if I encode them with DivX and in AVI format. But of course this is not compatible with my iPhone 4. At least I can shrink my library now and get away from the full MPEG-2s. I don't get why I can't use Apple's h264 though. There has to be a setting I am missing. The sample Apple h264 videos from the days of Tiger worked flawlessly on my iBook when it was new so the CPU must be capable of decoding it. I really can't understand this.
Also, since I made my videos in English for my family, I had to create soft subtitles for my wife's Chinese family, and I can't get players like QT with perian or MPlayerX to sync them properly to an AVI encoded with DivX, they only sync well with the iPhone 4 m4v/mp4 formatted files I made. This is a real pickle.
So now I may need three or four copies of each video, LOL. I need to hardcode the subtitles if I want to use AVI to playback on older machines, and keep the mp4 file for the iDevices too, while keeping higher quality h264 videos for my American relatives...
If h264 is compatible with my iBook, what is the proper encoding settings? Must I dramatically lower the settings or frame rate? I can settle on 2 copies of each video that way. One iBook/G4/eMac compatible video that syncs correctly with my srt soft subs, and another version that works well with my iPhone 4 and iPad.
All in all, I will end up with more than 3 or 4 version of each video. On my late G5 dual core I have the full 720-1080p uncompressed master files. On my i5 iMac I have the h264 compressed versions for distribution, and lower versions for my iDevices. Now I need to keep either full MPEG-2 files for the iBook to play, or convert to older formats like DivX AVI for our family's legacy machines. I am running out of hard disk space quick now, LOL.
Is there an easier way?

The images imported to my stage turn up as blank and render every image previous to the rogue imported image as red squares that fill the perimeters of the image which then renders the publishing and scene testing features in flash useless, what can i do

I have been working on animating a scene in flash for a few weeks and recently I have encountered a problem with importing my images on to the stage where the images I import do not turn up, however the key frame that I attempted to import the image onto shows that it is occupied by an image and every frame previous to the key frame that just imported an image that does not show turns up as a red square that fills the original perimeters of the image, there is no solution to this problem any where on the forum and the adobe technical support staff will not help me find a solution to this problem what can I do to get Flash running normally again and fix this problem?????
Also after the first time i publish a preview after i begin using flash, flash renders the publishing and scene testing features as useless and claims that there is no HTML template found, or if the images if i import any images onto the stage that come up blank and render every image previous to that image as a red square and then try and publish a preview flash renders the publishing and scene testing features as useless and claims that there is no HTML template found. What can I do to fix this problem??? there is no solution on the web anywhere to this problem either.

I don't know if Flash has a memory limit of its own. The memory for your Flash file is based on the available memory on your computer.
There is a limit on the number of frames that you can have in any given timeline. I think that it's about 15000 frames, but that's a guess. Flash does all of its work at runtime, this means that no part of your animation is pre-compiled like it is in a video file. So the more objects that you have on the stage, the more work Flash has to do. It follows that the more objects that there are to animate, the more work your processor and the video card have to do.
Here's a list of articles on memory management that might be useful:

Help! I can no longer choose Adobe Media Encoder when trying to Render a Video.

When I try to Render a Video, only the JPG option is available, but I need to render a Quicktime.
Most likely related is a new error I receive when launching Photoshop CS6 Extended: "Could not complete your request because of a program error." This dialog box has an OK button. Once i click this, it opens no problem. Had been ignoring this until today when I couldn't render my video.
I have not changed anything with Photoshop so not sure why this is happening now, when it didn't use to before.
Please help!

Sorry, of course you would need that. I'm running Windows 7 Professional and have Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended for 64-bit. PS version number is 13.0.1 x64.
What else would be needed?

Why must I render every video?
