I am new to Final Cut Pro 7, on new quad core imac.
I am not using any filters, motion or any effects. Every time I put a clip into the timeline or move any clips, I have to re-render not only the clip but other clips and sometimes space around it. I cannot edit or see what I would like to edit, only a blue unrendered screen in the canvas.
I cannot put a clip in and play around with it to where it should go first in relation to other clips without first rendering.
I have only Play base layer only option in RT drop down and tape options. If I go to system preferences or sequence settings and attempt variations, nothing changes.
It seems next to impossible to edit anything if I have to render each and every time I drag a clip to the timeline or move something around. How can I stop this so that I can edit properly and see what I'm attempting to edit without having to render. If not, I can only see a blue unrendered screen where the clip should be.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
