I am working with some .mov files for a project i am doing (not from the a DVX) I can preview them fine, but as soon as i drag them onto the timeline i HAVE to render them even though nothing has been added or changed... the raw footage has simply been dragged over. That is the most rediculous thing in the world. I have never seen that on any editing program in the last 10 years. I must have some setting wrong?
Along those same lines, if i were to add say a cross disolve to a clip then shorten the cross disolve i still have to render the entire section the disolve was originaly over. By default it makes it a certain length, and then makes that section red (unrendered), but even if you shorten it the red is still same same, longer, length... Some setting must be messed up in my FCP.. its 5.1 running on a MacBookPro...
Finally it seem slike my brand new macbookpro isnt running as fast as it should or something. For instance, all morning while just playing back the project it has been dropping frames. A dualcore 2ghz comp with a gig of ram should not be dropping frames... any idea about any of this?
