Desperate! Cannot Render or Export Suddenly–On Deadline!
Having a bit of a FCP disaster. Doing a side job for a major client and suddenly my project won’t render or export. It says I don’t have the CODEC, when I’ve never seen this error before. I’ve attached my Sequence Settings and the error message. Can anyone think what I might be doing wrong here? Need to get this to the client today. Panic rising!
Thanks!

OK, I think I fixed it. Shame on me for not Googling it first. If you care, I’ll tell you what I did to fix it. If not, you know…I won’t. Thanks for reading anyway!

Sure we care.
What you did?

I think I’ve seen that error message sometimes, when I forgot to turn on my monitors before turning on the computer. Then there’s something with the video card, I think that the computer doesn’t regonize the video card.

Well, I’ll tell ya, I knew it had nothing to do with the monitor, since I was on my Macbook Pro. And other videos rendered fine. I found the answer via Google search, which, not surprisingly, pointed me right back here, to a post from a while ago. (I can’t find the post now, otherwise I’d link to it.)
Basically, the problem was the frame size/aspect ration/compressor combination which made FCP think there was no preset for it. Or something. The suggestion which I tried (and which worked) was just to open a new sequence, using the same frame size, time base, aspect ration, etc… BUT to change the compressor settings to DV/DVCPRO-NTSC.
One thing I learned, though, is to not do that until you’re done editing, otherwise you’ll be rendering ever five seconds.
