  • Quicktime -50 Error in COmpressor for FInal Cut Pro 7

    PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

    I don’t know what to do. I have spent a greater part of my day desperately trying to output a 6 min music video of i have editted. I have taken my timeline (Apple Pro Res 422 (HQ) Settings, into Compressor from FInal Cut Pro 7. Everytime I try using Compressor to make a Apple Pro Res 422 (HQ) file from my timeline, I receive a Quicktime -50 Failure before the video reaches the end of the transcoding progress.

    I have done an internet search to figure out what happen.

    My timeline has 3 video tracks with visual effects, Apple Pro Res 422 footage and JPEG files and 1 Motion Project Timeline

    I have tried creating a brand new timeline and rerendering my video. That didn’t work.

    I have no idea how to find out which file is corrupted, or if a file is corrupted, because I don’t know how to unlock the Batch Monitoring Window that everyone else seems to use to find out which file is corruptted.

    I have tried rendering segments of my timeline and even deleting different elements in a desprate attempt to pin point what is the problem / corrupted file. This has not worked.

    SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!! I am at my wits end and I don’t know what tio do.

    PLEASE HELP ME!!

    Wait. Your timeline settings are ProRes HQ:

    “I have taken my timeline (Apple Pro Res 422 (HQ) Settings, into Compressor from FInal Cut Pro 7. ”

    Why are you then trying to use Compressor to output a ProRes HQ file? You don’t need to use Compressor at all. Just do a simple FILE>EXPORT> QUICKTIME FILE. Use the sequence settings…self contained. Bam….done.
