Re: What is conforming HDV Video?

The "conforming when I just want to render" thing I think is a bug because I've worked on multiple machines cutting HDV and sometimes when I hit render FCP will render but other times it will start conforming the video. What I've noticed is that hitting "command + R" will result in either a conform or a render depending on the machine. Hitting "option + R" or going up to the menu and selecting Sequence-> Render Only->XYZ will result in the machine rending. As was said before though, changing your sequence to render into ProRes will be faster than having it render in HDV.

As for having to switch back to HDV for the final render before output to tape I'm not sure because I've never gone back to HDV tape.
