FYI to any/all who use Final Cut Studio:
If you render a sequence in Final Cut on a Mac Pro, and then bring that project with all its necessary files into Final Cut on a G5 and try to Edit to Tape, the G5 will want to re-render the entire sequence.
My fellow editors, our Apple dude, and myself spent about a month on this issue before figuring out it was a compatability issue between rendering on a Mac Pro vs. a G5. Our Apple guy is trying to notify his people up the chain to let them know a fix needs to be made. Basically, it's the Intel chip that's creating additional render information that the G5 can't recognize, so it wants to render the sequence itself.
NOT sure if you render on a G5 and then try to Edit to Tape on a Mac Pro if there's a similar problem.
