Exporting out of FCP X problems
I’ve been working on a simple web video. Seems like the perfect reason to use FCPX. I’ve been sending my client versions through shared > email feature.(actually one of the only things I like about FCPX). So today I tried to send him a new version and that shared feature kept erroring out (error-50). I tried restarting my cpu several times but nothing. Anyone experience this and found a fix. What I cant understand is why its been working fine and now nothing. I’m hoping its not an FCPX ploy to get me to buy Compressor.
-Many thanks!

Hi Jordan,
The -50 is a quicktime error and is a known issue (for 2 years+ now). Compressor would likely have the same problem – after all, the system employed by FCPX is the same as Compressor to export, i.e., Quicktime.
So, solutions. There is no single solution as yet. Some say use a smaller file. Some say create a smaller file. Some have found corrupt files. Some have found nothing to solve it and scream.
Here’s my way. Open your Console. Clear the contents (this is only temporary to help you see what happens next), then try the export again. If it all goes wrong again for you, take a look back at the console and see what it says. Post it here if you can’t fathom it yourself. I’m confident I can.
All the best.

Ok. Here is the message i get in the console before it errors out,
8/21/11 10:48:14.867 AM compressord: ava di info: AVAFDeinterlacerCreate topFieldFirst = 0
8/21/11 10:51:38.514 AM compressord: ava di info: AVAFDeinterlacerDeleteany ideas?

Ok, good. What settings are you using for export to email?
It is interesting so far as it is saying that the background run of Compressor has first created a deinterlace then deleted it. 3 and a half minutes after. Is it sitting there all that time before it tells you -50? But it’s only providing info, but not errors.
I’m guessing that your edit has media from various sources, some interlaced and others not and at some point it’s reaching a clip that’s upsetting the Quicktime export component.
I’ll wait for your settings info first though.

I have the exact same problem, I am editing a 2 inute long 1280 x 720p HD project in 29.97 fps.
when I export using compressor settings, I get a “Quicktime Error: -50” message. I’ve done this exact project with just a few changes just last week. It’s an announcement video for my church, so this week I came in and changed up some stuff. and now its not working using the exact same settings as last week. There is like no info on troubleshooting this anywhere, please help me! =) Thanks
