HDV - Media Pending issue after render? at DVinfo.net

David J. Payne · October 12th, 2007, 03:38 AM

hi,
I have a timeline 35 mins in length all HD Mpegs in a sony 50i HDV timeline. When i first imported I got media pending which i understood. After rendering for over an hour, all is fine except the first 30 secs of the first 25 min clip.. this still says media pending although it has fully rendered and has a green bar above it. I have tried closing the project and re opening but still have this problem. I want to export to tape so I assume it'll send the premiere default media pending screen for the first 30 seconds.

Any ideas?

David,

Is this 25 min clip a render to file from a different timeline or project? If so, it's possible that the source footage in that timeline needed to be rendered. I've tried to rush things throwing to tape before, I had a m2t file that was a completed project, and brought it into a new timeline to throw to tape, and hit render and record before the indexing/conforming step was done, and it threw the 'media pending' screen to tape! So, if it was another project file at some point, check that project to make sure it's rendering out correctly to be brought into the new timeline.

If that's not the problem, I'd try a good old reboot/reopen and see if it fixes the problem. If not, reimport that clip that's giving you trouble.

Thanks Carl. I had to re render totally and it fixed it. I think it may have been because in the first instance I started rendering whilst the file was still conforming, this time I waited for that to finish before asking it to render. I suppose you're right... don't ever rush that sort of thing!

Aye, I learned that one the hard way too. ;)
