For some reason I can render a project, close the system, then when I open it again it seems to start rendering again..... Anyone know why it might do this? I render long projects with a lot of graphics for motorsport in preparation for the commentator to arrive, then when he does and I open a project we have to wait for it to render, which can take 20 minutes in some cases on my system. Very annoying!
MacBook Pro with Retina display, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
Can you tell us more about your system?
OS version, version of FCP X, where the files are stored etc.

This issue is not uncommon. I guess you have automatically render turned off. But you actually do not need to render anything only when you have problems with playback in the timeline. You can export unrendered files without issue. I have no idea why this happens what you describe, but it happens. I had this issue with older version of FCPX. Not in current version. What version of FCPX are you running ?
Because Final Cut just keeps adding and doesn't delete old renders, there is a decent possibility that one of your renders is corrupted. Suggest that you select the project icon and File>Delete Generated Project Files. When prompted select all renders (wouldn't delete optimized or proxy)

OS is 10.10.2, FCP X 10.1.4, Files are all in the library. Automatic render is on..... I thought it might be corrupted render files, so will try and delete them next time and re-render, see if that helps. Thanks for the responses.
