Exporting gives constant “Not Found” error
Hello,
I’m working on a rather large but otherwise straightforward project: just a 55min talk consisting of mov-clips, some aiff music and two little Motion template things as an intro and an outtro.
However, when I finished yesterday, I first couldn’t render the thing, because FCP complained with a tiny window that just says ‘Not Found’ and an OK button.
Then I managed to render, sent it to Compressor to make a .mov, and twice that whole operation failed (of course, in the end, after an hour or 2 :S) with the same ‘not found’ complaint in FCP and a “QuickTime -50” error in Compressor – or actually, that was only visible in Batch Monitor.
This morning I tried to make a .wmv instead, which seemed to work, but after 3 hrs it turned out that it only had put in audio, whilst the Compressor settings said it would include video as well.I’m using FCS3 on an 8-core MacPro with 12Gb ram and lots of HD space.
Any ideas how I can fix this would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Irene,
Is possible that some media or the Motion Templates are causing the problem.
Try to rendering in the time-line in batches.
Cheers,

I just had the same problem last night — and found a solution. Maybe and hopefully it works for you also: The problem was caused by changing the external hard drive with the render files to another drive. This happens accidentally, because I started FCP with the external drive switched off. Since then FCP writes everything on the internal drive instead of the correct one. So when I start the down mix, the program missed some files and crashed.
What I did — and it solved the problem — was deleting all the rendering files with the render manager and switch the hart disk in the fcps system settings back to the external drive. After a long time of rendering again – but on the correct hard drive – I start the mix down and export again — and it works perfect.
The only thing I didn’t find a solution for is that some files of the last thing I did (voice over) are now on the internal (wrong) drive. I copied them to the correct drive but don’t know how to tell FCP to link to this files. But as everything works for the moment, I am quite happy.

Select portions of the timeline and render using “render selection” rather than “render all” until you determine which clip(s) is/are causing the problem.

“You can highlight the audio files in question, right-click and use the relink media command, then save & quit. Then move the original files on the internal drive to a temporary location, then open the project to confirm that everything’s okay. ”
Thank you very much! Works like a charm – and everything is now at the proper place!

I have several color correction type filters on a trailer that I am trying to render this sucker and I have been getting the OUT OF MEMORY and NOT FOUND ERRORS.
I thought I would try to find the culprit by rendering clips in small sections, and for some reason it is working. In other words although I tried to render the entire trailer in one pass I would get these errors, however when rendering in sections it works just fine. I am working on a topped out MAC PRO with lots of RAM so Im not sure what was causing it, but this workaround worked for me.
