Final Cut Rendering Question

padocon

I have searched for hours about this and I see no quick solution to avoid rendering in Final Cut Express. I am trying to edit some video from a camera but this rendering business has me driven cracked! Is there any way to set the program so I don't have to render every time I import a clip? BTW its .mov files im importing into Final Cut.

Any help is greatly appreciated

What codec are the *.movs using? It's probably a non FCP friendly flavour which means you have to render them in advance. In you open them in Quicktime and go to View-> show movie inspector it should tell you the codec in there.

SD or HD?

If you mean you have to render the timeline every time you add something to it then it's your sequence settings that are at fault. If your sequence settings don't match the settings of your rushes then it'll ask you to render all the time.
