I have not tested this but will when this project is done.
I have about 20, 30 second video clips all about same transitions and just the over lay text changes on the video to tell view what they are looking at. I have these stacked in one FCP project in tracks track 1 back ground jpeg image for all track 2 is video clip which transition cub in cub out track 3 is text layer video desription of scene. track 4 is QR code to allow user to scan and goto website. accept for track one all other stack above each other. I have to change the background based on season or holiday image... is it best to keep all in one project and render? or would it render faster with only the 4 tracks in 20 different projects. Any better suggestions. I like the one project since it will save time in mangaing the content. thanks bill
Use different sequences, not projects. You can have multiple sequences in FCP, so one project can have, for example, six different segments for a tv show, or a whole series of scenes for a feature.
So you could have twenty different sequences in your project - and the best thing is you can just duplicate the first sequence, then make the background changes in the duplicate without affecting the original, so you don't have to rebuild from scratch twenty times.
Select the Sequences in the Browser and press OPTION-R. Or open them all into the Timeline window and set Auto Render to 1 minute.
Don't use Send to Compressor. Export movie files (I prefer self-contained, but reference movie files will be fine), then drag them into Compressor. That way you can also piggyback them (ie. as one movie is rendering, you export and prep the rest, then drag them into a second batch list). Also, if anything goes wrong with Compressor, you wouldn't have to redo the operation from the FCP level; just drag the movie files back in. www.derekmok.com
