  • DVCPro HD 720p60 corrupt

    Posted by Roberto Lopez on October 20, 2008 at 2:47 pm

    I’m done with a short 30 min film and when I go to FILE – EXPORT – QT MOVIE…i use the correct codec for my 720 24pn movie, it’s a DVCPro HD 720p60…when I export it and open the QT file, it shows that it stops at 12minutes and 20seconds. I’ve also gone thru FILE-EXPORT-COMPRESSOR and it works just fine. And the same goes for FILE-EXPORT-QT CONVERSION, using the correct codec and it works.

    Does anyone know why it exports half my movie when I go the first route, is the codec or path system corrupt…or is there another codec i can use like: dvcpro hd 720p30, 720p24…

    thanks.

    Well, you should export QT Movie, NO recompression, making it self contained, using the sequence settings.

    i know and that’s what i did exactly. I select ALL ont he timeline, go to FILE-EXPORT-QT MOVIE and use the current settings which for this project is dvcpro 720p60…that’s the codec for my project and the whole movie is exported as a QT file but it only plays up to 12minutes, not the full 30minutes…do u think i should try a different codec?

    Don’t use a different codec…use the one you shot and edited. If you have to do Conversion, then do Conversion. There will be small quality loss, but what can you do?

    Trash Preferences? Repair Permissions? Did you try that?

    you’re right, will have to stick with Conversion…as for trash preference/repair permission…i haven’t tried that…will do that and get back to you and see if this resolves the problem, thanks for your advice.

    try deleting all the renders in the render folder.

    trash preferences if you have not yet…do a google search for “final cut rescue” and use it.

    repair permissions too when you get a chance.

    I just had a dvcpro-hd feature length film that was missing the last 10 minutes
    of it itself on a (dv codec) sd export for sweetening in protools. doing all of the above fixed it.

    That was going to be my next suggestion, trash your render files and rerender.
