  Just started using final cut express. I was rendering my clips so i could see the output but now I cant get it to render.

  Does anyone know what I should be looking for? So far the instruction book has been useless for support

  I was rendering fine then after i added a clip and hit render the bar just pops up and disappears super fast

  Mind you, I don't know squat about A/V software, but: Could it be a memory/scratch disc issue? I know those programs are voracious with memory.

  • I have 4gigs of ram and a 192 gig drive---two of them– epete221/3

    but a 2.0 ghz imac– epete222/3

    There can still be errors; do you have ECC RAM?– ismith3/3

  Not familiar with Express, but in Pro, in the "Sequence" menu there are submenus for "render all" "render selected", etc. In those menus, make sure most, if not all are checked

  • they are– epete221/3

    red– epete223/3

  The clip you added my be using a different codec. It’s been a while for me and I was using FCP, but that rings a bell.

  • I think that is it– epete22

  i'd try taking away the clip you dropped in right before the eirdness started and dropping another in in it's place and seeing if it renders. This way you can pin-point whether it's the new clip or the timeline or the program or whatever

  • Great. i'm just starting to feel useful and Mr100 swoops in with the save. FOILED AGAIN!– locustsloth

  I hope so. FCE is pretty vague on what it will and won’t allow you to do. I think it assumes that you are just dumping from your camcorder and editing. If you can handle the learning curve, Pro is teh balls.

  • Well im starting small but i see alot of after effect similarities. And ya-– epete221/5

    I re exported my quick time and it has rendered. WOO HOO– epete222/5

    I knew this site was useful when loyd or hedge aren't around– epete223/5

    hahaha. That kind of talk may lead to trouble.– MrOneHundred4/5
