  Compressor crashes

  Posted by Ugo Danesi on December 11, 2011 at 10:12 am

  hi there!
  I have a lot of problem in working with fcp 7.
  When I have some “long” movies (longer than 30 min) very often i return comrpessor crashes!

  I am working using HDV 1080i50 codec and the export settings are for bluray h.264. The last error message is Quick time error:0.

  I would like to find the way by analyzing batch monito log to fint the exact part of timeline who generates th ecrash.
  From batch monitor I have to tabs
  Tab 1 – status
  Name: Eleonora_Mirko.264
  Time Elapsed: 2:03:28
  Time Remaining: 0:00:00
  Percent Complete: 100
  Status: Failed – QuickTime Error: 0

  Tab 2 – Log
  <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″ standalone=”yes”?>

  Any suggestion?

  You are obviously trying to export to h.264 directly from the timeline. Instead, export to a self contained file using Export>>Quicktime Movie, then use that file as your master to create any other files you need via Compressor. It’s faster, you don’t lose a generation, and you won’t continue to have silly problems like you’re having now that keep you from doing other more important things.
