I am in the woods in Canada editing a film about bears. I don't exactly have any technical support here apart from a good friend on skype. Your tutorial has just made my day as I was having problems with clip and sequence settings not matching.
You have solved a problem for me and I'm now going to make a point of watching your other tutorials.
Thank you so much.
Anne

I honestly never HDV material natively. We convert all HDV to DVCPro HD or ProRes for editing via our Kona 3's.
HDV does have to conform for playback due to it's nature as a long GOP MPEG-2 format. My guess is that because you're mixing various formats in the same timeline, it's causing FCP to have to conform everything that might get played into HDV before playback will start.
But again, we never edit HDV natively so I can't tell you for certain. | | | | |

I'm not new but this helped clarify several things. Here's a question for you though regarding FCP 6. I have recently been working in an HDV sequence with several sources clips of different formats. Many times, not always, when I go to render an effect, instead of the 'writing video' blue rendering bars, I will sometimes get a 'conforming HDV' bar instead. Even if all effects are already rendered, and I hit command/R (just to be sure), the 'conforming HDV' render bar still comes up. I never experienced this situation until this project.
Could you explain.-
Thanks, Steve | | | | |
