Not necessarily. Trash preferences, restart final cut. That should fix it.
Which version of FCP are you running? I haven't seen this happen on FCP 6/Leopard yet... www.strypesinpost.com
i've had long renders freaking FCP out like that, too.
sometimes they weren't that complex, but they did involve large-ish files: i just had to render in small sections, and keep my eye on it. but then i did discover what could be a workaround. one section had finished, and i hadn't noticed. o FCP started doing an Auto render when i came back, i had the warning again, BUT the whole show was rendered. i suspect auto-render might just plough on regardless of the warning. so you could open your user prefs, and set auto render to 1 minute and see what happens. one thing: Auto render WONT render the grey "Full" quality effects. if you have any of those they will require another (manual) pass good luck. nick

[www.lafcpug.org] It's strange, I used to see that on FCP 5, on the longer projects. The first thing i always do is to restart the mac, and trash/reload preferences. Don't recall seeing that after a fresh restart. Restarts usually clear the RAM. Here's something you can use next time instead of preference trashing (for tiger to leopard): [www.digitalrebellion.com] If you're not on Tiger, you could try: [fcprescue.andersholck.com] www.strypesinpost.com
strangely what seemed to be really gunking up the works is that I have begun dragging some stills into the timeline and. .. I think I dragged in a photoshop file that had layers. . . and this became unrenderable! got that message and found when I brought back in a flattened image it needed no rendering anyhoo!
