I put a clip from a Go Pro shot at 1280 by 720 at 30 fps into the sequence. It has the 2 red bars saying it needs to be rendered so i go to render all and the bar shows saying it is rendering then disappears immediately and it does not render the clip. I try setting the sequence presets to the clip and it still doesn't work. Any tips are GREATLY appreciated.
Cheers

You could try putting it in unlimited RT then putting it back into safe RT. Not really sure if that would work though. If it doesn't then just try quitting FCP and reopening it.

Mine did the same thing the first day I had my GoPro in FCP.. I can't tell you why it worked or what it was doing (if anything at all) but I imported the clips into iMovie and then back into FCP from there and they worked fine.

Don't do this. iMovie uses a different (inferior) codec.

Try these things:
1. Repair all disc permissions
2. Trash Prefs
3. Try selecting the specific clip and render selection.
4. Make sure you are using the right rendering shortcut. alt + R renders the entire sequence.
5. Conform the source footage to 23.98 in Cinema Tools to fix any inconsistencies in the frame rate (unlikely since this tends to happen with really long continuous shots, but worth a try).
