  FCP X – Can’t export my edit – Quicktime error -50

  Posted by Boris Jansch on November 30, 2011 at 7:02 pm

  This is another first for me.

  I’ve edited a 1 minute commercial, which is a mixture of unconverted Canon 5D and Sony F3 footage but I am unable to export my completed edit.

  If I go to export media or export using one of my custom settings it brings up the export bar and when it’s about 90% done it brings up the error message, ‘Quicktime error -50’.

  I don’t have any problems exporting any other of my projects on the same drive so I suspect it’s a corrupt media issue or perhaps an F3 issue but it plays perfectly in FCP X.

  I tried trashing prefs.

  Any ideas?

  Many thanks,

  Boris J.

  Well this is a weird one!

  Through process of elimination I have worked out that the the cause of the problem is a ‘slide push’ transition.

  These transitions were placed on the primary storyline and for whatever reason stopped me from being able to export the project.

  There it is. Now I just have to work out how to get them back in!!

  Many thanks,

  Boris J.

  There’s an FCPX Techniques forum for your future technical questions:

  But I would try deleting your render files.
