Error while exporting .MXF from FCP 7
Hi, I am trying to export a timeline from Final Cut to a .MXF file and it is not working.
I select the timeline, go to File>Export>Sony XDCAM, then check the settings and click export.
FCP renders the timeline and then transfer the export to Sony XDCAM Exporter.
When the export is around 20% I get an error saying:
“Please check that the volume to which you are exporting is not locked or full.
Error writing MXF file (while checking expected MPEG-2 picture_coding_type).”I have tried to export to my RAID and to the desktop, both of them have space and are not locked.
I also managed to export another timeline without any problems.Can anyone help me with this issue?
Thank you,
Miguel. -

Hi Miguel,
Nothing wrong.
FCP prevents to export files bigger than 4GBs.
That’s the limit for FAT-32 media.
Chop your movie so the FMX don’t reach that size.
I think that if you keep the sequence below 14 minutes will go OK.

Hello, Miguel.
The MPEG-2 MXF file from Sony XDCAM is too big, I guess.
You need to crop the videos. Or you can transcode the file to Apple ProRes with a smaller file for directly importing to FCP 7 for editing.
