im having a problem when rendering my project, my sequence size is 36min but when i export i only get 29.03 minutes every time i try, mi sequence files are from a 60d and i want to export to prores lt, ive tried making a new sequence, making some changes and saving it but i keeps rendering only 29.03, i dont render in current settings because fcp hasnt worked well to me with mp4 files. Im desperate and will thank any help
What version of FCP are you using?
Click on one of the camera source clips in the FCP browser to select it, and once selected, type Command + 9 to see the item properties for the clip. Either report those properties here, or take a screen shot and post that screen shot here.
Next, click anywhere in your sequence timeline and type Command + 0 {zero} to see you Sequence Settings. Either report those settings here or take a screen shot of the Sequence Settings and post the screen shot here.
FCP version 7 and below do not work correctly with elements that are H.264. Using them often produces unexpected results. The correct workflow is to convert the source H.264 flies to ProRes first, and then bring those converted flies into FCP 7 to edit in a ProRes timeline.

i have fcp 7.0.3 i know it doesnt work quite well with h.264 footage ive been working with it for a year and never had this problem. What i do is work in the footage settings that is 1920x1080 30fps h.264 codec and when i render i export to 1920x1080 30fps prores lt codec. This is the first time i export and i dont get the whole sequence rendered, only those 29.03 mins.

Then you have been very lucky until now.
Do you have in and outpoints set on the sequence?

i did, even copy to a new sequence but i still geto only 29.03 mins, im kinda desperate my deadline is tomorrow and its the only clip im missing. I dont have premiere or FCPX so i need to get the clip out from FCP.
Mark an in and out point slightly before and after the missing clip. Try exporting that. Does it work then?
If not, re-edit the clip to the timeline and try again. Does that work?
If not, can you mark an in and out on the missing clip in the viewer and export/covert it from there?
If so, then import the ProRes file that you exported that is short, and the file you exported with missing clip, edit them together on a ProRes timeline and export without conversion.

ive tried everything i dont know why it keeps doing it, i even cute pieces of the sequence and rendered it on an other sequence but it renders only a part of it i dont know if i can clean the cache of FCP maybe that way it would be fixed, any other advice you can give me?
I dont get all my sequence rendered.
