  Exporting to H-264

  Posted by Bill Reilly on August 27, 2009 at 1:11 am

  I’m having a terrible time exporting my timeline to H-264. The last export attempt took 6 hours then avid sent this message “Exception movie export and procedure failed errcode-2034. I have never been able to figure out their codes.
  This is a 130 minute documentary shot HDV, captured at 1080i-60, 48k on the audio.
  The last time I tried to export these were the specs

  QT movie…enable tracks

  Video Format
  Compression-H264
  Quality-Medium
  Key Frame Rate – 24
  Encoding mode: multi pass

  Audio Format
  Format-Uncompressed
  Sample rate 48k
  Sample size 16
  Channels 2

  I am running on a Quad core 3.2 MHZ
  4 GB 800 MHZ DDR2 FB-Dimm
  Mac OS 10.5.8
  Avid Media Composer 3.0.0.56860 Universal

  I look forward to getting any input.

  Thanks, Bill

  You’re running an unsupported configuration. MC 3.0 was never qualified to run under OSX 10.5.8 (which came out very recently). Check the Avid version matrix and make sure that you are running your MC under the right combination of OS and Quicktime(!).
  Issues like failing exports often have to with OS and/or QT incompatibility.

  Thanks for the info. As it turns out I needed to render all effects before trying to make the file. I’ll look into your suggestion. Thanks for the heads up
