[Sherry Sakamoto] “I’m trying to export a 4 second clip as a Windows media file using Quicktime conversion. It crashed. Discovered I had the freebie Flip4Mac so upgraded to Studio Pro version. “
The freebie will export up to 30 seconds. “Crash” is impossible to understand from where I sit but it’s likely something wrong with your media, not the encoding process.
[Sherry Sakamoto] “Thought that would do the trick but when I try to export it, FCP still crashes. I am using OS 10.4.11, FCP 4.5, Quicktime 7.5 on a G5. Do I need Quicktime Pro? Thanks for any help. “
You already have QT Pro. The Final Cut Studio is based on QTPro.
You have not said what the original file is or what your sequence settings are. Those may not make any difference but it’s helpful to know in debugging a failed export.
