  • I have a 8 min footage that im tryin' to render, it says that is going to take one hour?!! Something has to be wrong, please help!!

  • It could be many things. Usually, FCP's estimator is not that accurate, so it may actually take shorter then it says.  Also, check your sequence settings to make sure they match your clip settings (CMD+0). That may be the cause of it. Good luck!

  • Thank you so much! your video has saved me soo much time :)

  • I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

  • Thanks for the video dude! We just got FCS 2 in this week and we've been preping the new Mac to get it ready for eventual full time production. We're switching from Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 on WinXP. I was yelling at the computer with that unrendered stuff. Premiere worked like Unlimited RT mode does all the time. I wish I knew this today. Oh well, it's part of the process of learning.

  • I'm glad you found this video helpful!

  • when i first drop my clip into my sequence my rt options are not there anymore why does my rt not look like yours after I drop in the clip? I looks like it when no clips are in the sequence but as soon as i drop something in all it says is play base layer, use playback settings and full quality . Ive tried messing with settings but i have no clue what to do .
