Final Cut Express. Please help!!!

[grilledsteezeyo]

so i'm working on a school project and need help as soon as possible, any help would be appreciated.

It's telling me all my clips need to be rendered when i put them in the timeline, but i have already imported them to final cut. I would just render them, but have low disk space on my computer and don't have the space to render. there isn't really anything I'm willing to delete either. Please help, Thanks.

get an external drive?

if you need to render, you need to render. There is no way around it, that i know of

 

[grilledsteezeyo]

but why should i have to render? i have already imported the clips to final cut and haven't done anything to them except put them in the timeline.

im not expert here, but i think it has to do with the video codec

what camera?

 

[grilledsteezeyo]

i use 2 cameras, a gopro and canon vixia hf10

 

[Sklar]

gopro is the only one i'm really familiar with,

are you converting in streamclip? if you are what codec are you using?

 

[grilledsteezeyo]
