    Hi friends and colleagues!

    FCP is teasing me again.

    This time I want to export a project through the Quicktime Converter. I did a 20 sec test-print, and it looked just dandy.
    Since the test, I haven’t been able to print anything out in any project – except for the 20 sec…

    I have a specialist looking at the ptob as we speak. but he’s about to throw the towel in the ring as well…

    Where did I go wrong? Trash prefs a solution?

    Thanks and have a nice weekend!

    Regards

    Ron

    Did you try to remove the in and out points in the timeline.

    Hi Jim,
    Thanks for your input. Yes, i did remove in/out points.
    Can the 20 sec capture be defined somewhere in the prefs?

    Regards
    Ron

    What are you trying to export? If it’s .wmv you need to upgrade your flip4mac as there is a limit as to the length it will export.

    I had the same problem today, with exports limited to 14.91 seconds, and subsequent exports (I was exporting scenes from a timeline, one after the other) exporting one section earlier than the In and Out markings…spooky!

    Solution: My sequence was set to 24 fps, and I was exporting to Sorenson 3 [yes, from a dual G5] with the frame rate set to “Current.” When I changed the export frame rate to “24 fps,” the exports proceeded normally, and the results extended from In to Out point.

    Actually, the exports extended from In point to 2 frames short of the Out point, so I had to mark my Out point each time 2 frames later than desired to get the intended result.
