FCP 6.02 crashing on export

At least like that you discharge a possible issue.

Now here’s an interesting turnpoint.

I did a more thorough search in the forum and found a few threads on FCP crashing on rendering large pieces and following Dave Jenkins advice I proceeded rendering the HDV material not to ProRes but to HDV in small 2 minute pieces.
This time I managed not only to render the whole timeline but also to export it and here is the interesting part:
Time for exporting as a selfcontained movie (default settings): 5 minutes (as opposed to 8 hours announced in Prores + crash) for 33 min of HDV.
Exporting as a Reference file: 2 minutes (as opposed to 8 hours announced when rendered in Prores + crash)

By Dave Jenkins previous post mentioning mad exporting times when rendering HDV to Prores in both 6.00 + 6.01 I am bound to think this is not an issue arising from 6.02 nor QT 7.3.

It is obvious that HDV rendered in Prores is a big NONO for the time being.

I am of course very happy to have found the cause as I managed finally to export the film and get it delivered.

Having the same issues. This time with NTSC DV anamorphic – not HDV. Seems like people are having the same render/ export issues regardless of machine or format. I am also having trouble exporting from QT. I assumed it was a Flip 4 mac issue. Now I am wondering if it is a quicktime issue. A quick pole:

What version of QT are you using? Do you have Flip 4 mac installed?

I have QT Pro 7.3.1
OS X 10.5.1
FCS 6.02
