Can FCP "Beep" when a render finishes?

That's pretty much my question. I can't seem to find anywhere in the preferences to let the software tell you when it's finished a render. Dumb question, I know, but would love the help. THANKS.

Not a dumb question, nor a dumb idea - I'd love it. FCP doesn't have it, though. Too obvious, I guess.

Big feature request for years now.

Thanks. Have been using FCP since V1, and thought I was just missing something really obvious. THANKS. Who can we beat on to get this added?

One important criteria for this feature: you must be able to pick the beep. Sorenson Squeeze has a beep that never fails to jolt me out of render-time reverie with a startle. I would like a gentle, deep, soothing sound, or perhaps birdsong that plays softly until I attend to it. It could build into a louder sound after 30 seconds or so, in case I've left the room. Maybe it could even be sensitive to the time of day - softer sounds late at night when editing by moonlight, for example.

Of course this post was written while waiting for a render.

Sounds like someone sleeps on the job... ahem, i mean, render

: P

Of course !

Maybe we should be able to have "downloadable ring tones," to customize our every beeping whim.
