diaster caused by apples latest FCP update

How did you copy the files from pc to mac?

I just copied using an 8gb USB memory stick. Of course I copied about 2,000 photos and I have only used 350 in this presentation. All of them worked fine before the UPDATE. I had already size about half of them and rendered them without problems. I started the project on my MacBook pro with 2GB ram and when I started having problems I moved the entire project over to the Mac Pro thinking it must be a resource issue. Since I had started with the project and everything was fine until the other day when I updated. Immediately after updating the rendering issue ocurred. So the pix might be the result of the problem caused by the update. But I think it is obvious that file corruption is the culprit and there is a quick fix to help me get through this major crisis.

I can’t thank you enough for hanging in here with me even this late at night. I think it will take me another couple of hours but that is much better than where I was 3 hours ago with no solution in sight.

Thanks thanks thanks thanks

Further confirmation that you are right – I am now just opening and resaving the file back in the same folder and now resizing them and as soon as I do that FCP clears up the render bar and the transitions on both sides. Cool – I am still not through but it is looking great at this point.

Thanks

Alright, you seem to be on the right track. Off to sleep for me.

Good luck.

I can’t thank you enough for your help, but tomorrow night 67 people at the After Rehearsal Dinner will be thrilled at the video that you helped me pull back from the grave:).

Thank you thank you thank you:)

Sorry George. I see you really hung in there and Jeremy and others were able to stick it out with you. Well done!

George,

You spent 30+ hours on a slideshow in FCP? Do yourself a favor and look at Fotomagico. It could do this all by itself in about a minute. I believe iPhoto can do random movement too, but Fotomagico is really great, lots of options, SD, HD whatever you want.

Have a wonderful day.

George,

I just had a similar problem last week and it turned out to be a corrupt sequence.

Create a new sequence. Select all of the clips in the edited sequence, then copy and paste them into your new sequence.

Good Luck,
Bob

Thanks – the update corrupted (or revealed) corrupted photos. In the end, all I had to do was open and save the files back. Of course every time I rendered it found a new corrupt photo so it took about 20 render attempts to finally get one good run.

Creative COW ROCKS!!!!
