I think it's a general consensus that all you really need to do is pay
attention to what the timeline is telling you; however, it would be a great
feature if the option existed to warn of unprocessed material before one
attempts a layoff.
Perhaps this could be turned off/on as a user preference.
Therefore, if you want the warning - you can turn it on. If you don't, you
can leave it off.
Flexibility is always a good thing.

Last week we aired a "Processing Required" on a graphic. My comment to the
producer with whom I was watching this air (I did not cause the problem,
just witnessed it) was that no non-linear editor is a playback device.
There are too many issues with any non-linear editor to be able to use it
for playback (this is not an Avid issue). With respect to going to tape, the
little red button is generally accurate. I find the yellow bars on the
timeline to be inaccurate. They always need rendering.

Hi Loretta,
Until we get that, there's always that bright red "led" next to the Ripple
button.
Regards,
Tone :)
ps - as for "Needs Processing" going out on air I saw a documentary go out
on Sky a few weeks back with "Media Unavailable" in three different places.
How did THAT get through tech review?

Hi, Everyone,
I understand that this is something that others have asked for but it won't
hurt to ask again.
It would be nice to have an error message if you have unprocessed scenes
when you output to tape.
I noticed on a Friday night newscast that they could have used it, too.
There it was, as bright as day..."Needs Processing". Ouch.
Loretta
