Hello all,
I am brand new to NLE's and Apple computers and FCP. I have been going through the Apple pro training series book and I seem to have hit a wall on 2 issues.
1) FCP is forcing me to render even the simplest cut from one clip to another. It didn't do this at the start but I must have changed something and now it does. Any ideas where to look?? I will post the specifications of my system at the bottom of this message.
2) I keep getting an "insufficient material to edit " error, even when I am just adding a clip to the end of a sequence. I'm even getting it when I try to add an audio clip onto an empty track. Any ideas here?
My system is as follows:
Mac G5 dual 2.0
2.5gig ram
1000g Xserve raid
one very green very frustrated operator
Thanks
Jim
