I hate Final Cut Pro
Thats right. You heard me. I hate FCP. I'm in Non-linear 1, trying desperately to finish, and I am so close. But Final Cut, or maybe this computer, is determined to keep from that goal. I have edited all of the scenes in separate sequences, so as to have ultimate control and not overload the CPU. Now that they are tentatively complete, I am setting them, in their entirety, into a master sequence. Once, doing this, Final Cut wants me to re-render all of the audio. So, I do. Then, it throws everything out of synch, and not by a few frames, but by an enormous margin of error, like completely displacing a scene's audio, and then setting it at the film's intro. Its incredibly frustrating. I have just quit the program and restarted the computer, hoping that this will correct the erroneous rendering.
OK, it has not. I just re-opened Final Cut and set my introduction into the master time-line. I hit render, and it is saying it will take nine hours to render out my audio. RIDICULOUS! Wait. In the time it took me to write the word "RIDICULOUS" the transport bar disappeared and all of my audio now appears to be renderd, and at least close to where its supposed to be. I'm going to watch it. Wish me luck.
