  • Fragmented files after export.

    Posted by Valerie Marinho on May 2, 2014 at 4:53 pm

    Hi everybody,

    My problem : on FC7, the quicktime export to create my master is fragmented in one .mov and several -av (?), each 4.1 Go. (My Hard Drive is not in fat32). And the .mov can be read only for 5 mns (my film is about 70mns).

    Can anyone has a solution ?

    Thanks in advance,

    Valerie

    How is the drive formatted, if not Fat32? How did you export? File>Export>Quicktime Movie? Self contained…other settings?

    Thanks for your answer,

    The external hard drive is formated in mac Os extended.

    The export : file-export-quicktime sequence. No conversion, i want to have a master via quicktime, not a compressed file.

    Other settings, the quicktime export is set on apple pro res 422 (hq)

    Excuse my bad english, i’m in Paris, France …

    Is this drive also set up as your Capture Scratch drive? In the Final Cut Pro System Settings…in the SCRATCH DISKS tab….at the bottom. Do you have CAPTURE LIMIT/FILE EXPORT size checked? And is it set to 4000 or so MB?
