Another 'Final Cut Pro' Question

[Jay2325]

Yesterday, some of you helped me with split screens (thanks!). I followed what they said, and it seemed to be ok, however, every time i try to view the clip in the canvas screen, it displays "unrendered". So, i dont know how to actually view the split screen final product. Any help would be great.
Thanks!

You need to "render" video in order to watch it.

Once you make any chance, such as shrink and move it, you have to re-render the movie in order to see it.

There should be a menu that says "render", use it.

On the timeline there is a red line above any part of the movie where rendering is required to play.

Make sure your sequence settings and clip settings match? When you drop a clip in the timeline can you play it back, or does it need to be rendered (if it needs rendering there will be a colored line above the clip in the timeline like Sdashiki said)?
