General Error mess. exporting to QT in FCP6
My problem is exporting a sequence to Quicktime in Final cut Studio.
I can export 4 or five clips in the timeline fine. But when I combine 40 .mov (all small files--around 3.5 mb)--I get a general error message. Once I got a general error 34 message--which research says it is directed towards the directory. All clips were shot with the XL H1 and recorded tapeless to the FS-C. This is not an important project--I was running some tests on the Xl H1--but it certainly impacts how I shoot/edit in the future. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cam record mode Record XL H1 1080--16x9-60i Record to FS-C HD Record Quicktime Copied .mov files from FS-C to directory on HD Computer dual quad 3ghz, 8 gb ram, drive for scratch dish has 488gb space QT files which were copied from FS-C all play with no problem on the computer--and in FCP In FCP Set Seq preset to HDV-1080i60 Capture preset HDV Sequence Settings: HD (1440X1080) (16:9) Aspect ratio HD (1440 1080) Compressor HDV 1080i60 All the files were copied to a bin in the FCP project--the files all play in FCP and show as Frame Size 1440X1080 Compressor HDV 1080i60 I have tried exporting using Quicktime movie and current settings uncompressed 8 bit and I have tried to export via quicktime conversion HDV 1080i60(which the files already are but just tried something to see if it would work) Thanks Ron |

Dumping pref.?
Thanks for your input Chris
Chris when you dumped your preferences--was that the only file you dumped? and did you simply restart FCP and all was well? I tried that-- restarted FCP brought my project back up and got the General error 34 message when trying to export again--have a feeling that I may need to dump all FCP files--and reinstall. If there are any other thoughts greatly appreciated!!!! Thanks Ron |

Ron,
It could very well be that your OSX directory is at fault not necessarily just FCP. There are two things you should do before you re-invent the wheel by wiping your drive and reinstalling everything: 1. Download and run all the routines in Onyx for Mac (free): http://www.titanium.free.fr/index_us.html 2. Purchase and Download DiskWarrior 4: http://alsoft.com/index.html If after doing both these things you still have issues then let us know. |

Per Josh's recom. on the DVcreators forum site--
I repaired permissions on the OS drive disconnected all external drives deleted all render files New project in FCP--reimported all QT files--edited in timeline--exported to QT without any problems. thanks for your input! Ron |
