Everything I export comes out “blocky”
Alright, so we recently upgraded FCP to version 5.1.2 on two machines. Machine A had a hang up during the upgrade and it didn’t finish. Machine B worked beautifully. Machine A is our online suit, and has the project on it that I need to export to a quicktime movie. A simple task normally, but of course it’s anything but right now…
Whenever I try to export the tracksheet, things go well and it does it’s job. When I open the quicktime I’ve created though, it comes out “blocky” looking….almost like a bad streaming video from the internet. Doesn’t matter if I export it with Sorenson 3, Compressor, or the current project setttings – they all come out blocky.
So what gives? I’ve gone over my settings again and again, and I’ve searched these forums countless times, but I haven’t heard of anything like this before. On a side note, Machine B will export just fine. Maybe a problem with the upgrade? Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks…..

I think something is definitely wrong with your machine, this is not a common problem.

You’re definitly right…..although I think the problem lies within FCP.
I contacted Apple today about this, and they told me to delete all of FCP and re-install. Before doing this, I moved all my external pluggins to another drive, for backup. I reinstalled FCP, opened my project, and same problem. I then created a new project, copied just the video I needed, and BAM! It worked! I have yet to drop in my pluggins, but as of now I’m back in business.
My best guess is FCP and/or my project files were corrupt. Either way I seems to be back in order. Thanks for the help!
