error 34
I have searched this forum, and found many references to it, but other than it being “General”, no set conclusion as to what it means or what to do.
In my case, it is occuring while trying to export an EDL.
I have plenty of disk space, and it will generate an EDL on other time lines, but not on the 2 timelines that have the full project on it.
Is there a duration limit for and EDL? this is only 97 min
so I am leaning toward a corrupt file in the time line or some kind of odd edit that is causing error 34. finding it (the trouble maker) should be fun as there are 70 hrs of material and a thousand edits, not including sound.
any suggestions??
thanks

what kind of edl?
-
Woops, fired that off too fast. Most EDLs only support two tracks of video and 4 tracks of audio. Where are you taking this edl? Perhaps an xml will be better as it will carry all of FCPs relevant information.

we have 6 channels of audio. that could be it.
it also has 3 or 4 video layers in places.
we were using a CMX 3600. wasn’t sure what list to use as we are just doing a High res re-encode.
whats an XML list? if it’s FCP specificdalars

[dalars] “wasn’t sure what list to use as we are just doing a High res re-encode.”
On what system? By Hi res reencode, do you mean you are going to recapture the footage at it’s original resolution? Are you using FCP for this? Give me the details of what exactly you are trying to do, and I will try and help. XML is FCPs file transfer standard, but it has also been adopted by other programs/NLEs. It makes transferring timelines with effects/dissolves much easier than EDLs. There’s a lot less reconstructing.

the shot in Varicam, we are re-encoding the project in DV “squeezed”. It is currently letterboxed. we intend to use the existing audio on the new project.
we are in FCP 5 on a G5 dual 2.7dalars

What format are you editing in? You can capture DV out of a DVCPRO HD deck. To me, it sounds as if yo are making this way more complicated than it needs to be.

we are/have captured from the 1200A deck. It is a DV project. we just want it to be available in both formats, letterbox & squeezed (anamorphic)
right now it is letterbox.

Okay, so avoid the EDL and downconvert the HD version to a letterbox DV master and a Squeezed dv master. You can use a Kona card, or the 1200A to do this in real time. If you want to convert the whole project so you can edit in DV, use the media manger and re-compress the whole project and make new media.
If I were you, I’d edit in HD, and then worry about downconverts later. It’s much much easier and editing in DVCPRO HD is a breeze.

problem is it’s already in DV letterbox. we did not put in as HD so we can’t down convert.
the DV letterbox can’t be converted to squeezed. need to re-encode as only option
D -
Okay, so you have a Varicam shot project that you have captured as DV letterbox and you want to turn that into dv anamorphic?
Media manage a new version of the timeline using the DV anamorphic preset, set your 1200a to output dv anamorphic (not letterbox), recapture, and away you go.
