Exported mov files have bad frames
-
Just had the same problem with a client 60 minute film she has been working on for 3 years. Our solution was to render each sequence completely, look at it and when you see a bad frame, select the clip, do something to it like move it up a line and then back down, and then render that clip. Do that to the end of the sequence, then export 10 minute (more or less) sections as Quicktime. Open a new project, put the rendered clips in a new sequence, look at it again, fix any clips that screwed up or that you missed the first time by going back to original project and fixing them and then exporting just that 10 minute section, put the new export in to the new project and check again, then output the new sequence.
Tedious but it works.
Errors might be the result of multiple version of FCP being used on the project, or??? I have only had this problem once before, and it was a project that I had done multiple revisions on over a three year period.
Anyway, interesting that you had this same problem with what seems to be a similar project.
Good luckPeter

Okay, so I’m not totally unique or crazy. I’ve been making all my outputs from my BM 10bit 422 HD footage (since it’s what my system can handle). So yesterday I finally gave up that route (taking weeks of works out to the woodshed). Now I’ve gone back to my Kona 10bit RGB master file. I’ve set it up to be my source for all my outputs. This film was edited through late 2006, screened at fests in 2007, and now we’re making foreign and domestic deals and the number of different formats is kicking my butt. I started out using FCP 5.0something and now I’m using 5.1.4. But they were all v5.
Did you try things like copying the contents of your timeline into a new sequence? My problem is with the movies I output via compressor. I nested my HD sequence into SD sequences so I could finesse the deliverable (anamorphic, letterbox, full-frame), then output that sequence. Not exactly relevant to the problem, but with PAL, I’ve been export a 23.98 movie then changing the speed in Cinema Tools. So, it’s hard to move the clip around when it’s one full length clip. I could try to using the Media Manager to deal with all these clips, but I don’t like trusting MM unless my mom says I have to.
It can get really confusing because some of the QT movies wouldn’t have the problem consistently (I realized those are probably the source). Then there are the QT files I exported using them, which have the bad frames hard wired into them.
Did you try moving the project onto another system? Also curious what codecs you were working with.

Just wondering if you might have a conflict between the Blackmagic and Kona codecs. Kona makes a point of identifying potential codec conflicts when you install their software, though if they played together well before, it could be a new QuickTime problem.

Yeah, never had a problem with Kona and BM before. My main issue was converting from HD to NTSC & PAL using the Apple 10bit Uncompressed codec (which is pretty much the BM codec with Apple’s name on it).
I’m about to try down rezzing from KONA 1080p to BM NTSC. We’ll see what happens.
I’m using QT 7.2 now.
