Activity Forums Apple Final Cut Pro Legacy exporting from timeline

  • exporting from timeline

    Posted by Shaun2215 on January 2, 2007 at 5:29 am

    I have been exporting 2-3 minute clips from my timeline which normally contains about 20 minutes of vision. Most of the time the entire clip within my in and out points exports properly but several clips have just exported with 15 seconds or less of the specicified time, and when i do it again the same amount of the clip gets exported. What is the problem? how do i fix it?

    The first thing to always try is to Quit FCP, Restart the Mac, Open your FCP project and try again.

    Next:
    THE FOLLOWING COMES FROM THE KEN STONE WEBSITE:
    “Over 5,000 years ago Confucius wrote: ‘If you are toiling away, you have changed nothing and FCP heads South on you, [starts behaving in strange ways] then it is time to trash your FCP Preferences.’ ”

    Click the following link for instructions.

    https://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/trashing_fcp_prefs.html

    A great way to do this is to use “FCP Rescue” a free Apple Script that will Trash the Preferences for you (and restore nearly all of your user settings afterward).
    There are versions for FCP (Pro) & FCE (Express) and a new one for FCP 5.

    Download these free Apple Scripts at

    https://fcprescue.andersholck.com/
    or
    https://pistolerapost2.com/fcprescue/

    This is one FCP tip that has helped in solving hundreds of “odd” problems.

    Hey Matte,

    i tried one of those apple scripts but it has made no difference the clips which were giving me all that trouble still aren’t exporting properly… do you have any other ideas?
