Export problem

[John Davidson]

This is an issue for projects that were upgraded for 10.0.7 to 10.0.8, typically. Try creating a brand new project and paste your cut with no compound clips into that new one and see what happens.

I’m on 10.08 and just exported half a dozen 4 K clips with color adjustments and time remaps with out any issues.

Yeah, but had you rendered clips in the timeline?

I continue to have the export error. It’s always been when I’ve rendered footage in the timeline. FCP identifies the bad frame, and I look there, and see that something seems amiss. Usually, when I play the video, I see no problem, but when I go frame by frame in reverse, I see a black mis-rendered frame in there.

I often end up exporting clips more than once, and if effects are rendered in the timeline already, it exports much faster, and likewise if I export again, the pre-rendered part only needs transcoding.

I was editing a clip yesterday, and because of the effects and layers, it took 25 minutes to export a 3 minute clip. Normally I would render parts as I went along, so in the end it would only take a few minutes to transcode the final clip. I don’t want to risk that anymore since I might get 3/4 the way through a clip and have the error show up, then I’m back to starting all over.

This seems to be a new problem with the software, and I’d sure like to know if Apple is aware of it, and that they’re working on it.

And I’ve been working on many brand new projects since 10.0.8 came out, and I’ve had the same problem. I don’t think it’s limited to projects converted from 10.0.7 and earlier.

Thanks.

I dont see the same problem here. Like I said, a time line with 4K image sequences , color correct applied along with retiming- No issues exporting.

very similar problems here, although on projects updated from 10.0.7 – haven’t tried new projects yet.

not sure how cutting and pasting into a new project would help –

out of interest, what OSX version are you on?

not sure the cut and paste suggestion would help on all but the simplest projects – surely this won’t copy any/all plug-ins – will it?

Mark Morache, are you using multicam clips? I’ve talked to support and they said it might be an upgrade issue. The only projects/comps we have causing it are ones with multicam clips. Your solution of turning off background rendering, deleting render files, and trashing them seems to be the only thing that works.

I’m having the export error problem.
ERROR MESSAGE:
The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 831 (error -1).

This only happens when ramped speed changes are rendered. The error frame is 1 second before the speed change ramp starts in the clip. If I delete the render files it exports fine. This project was started in 10.7 and updated to 10.8. The footage is ProRes 422 1080 29.97i If I change the project to ProRes 422 1080 29.97p it exports fine rendered. The ramps are from 100% to 65% and from 400% to 100% to 350%.
I copied the footage to a new project and have the same problem.

This is how you can get around it till it gets fixed.

1. When you’re ready to export, go to preferences and turn off background rendering.
2. Quick FCXP
3. Go into your event AND project that you’re working on and delete the ‘renders’ folders (they’ll recreate themselves when you open again).
4. Empty the trash.
5. Re-open FCPX. Export.

That should fix it for now. I think a patch will come soon.

Thanks for the reply. BG rendering is always off. Can I use the “Delete Project Render Files” command?

Just experienced the same error -1 share problem. So I did what you wrote. It is exporting at the moment, but isn’t it supposed to be rending first? The orange lines (unrendered clips) are still there.
Is Apple aware of the problem?
Thanks for your input
