    Hi

    I am in a bit of a pickle, i have just finished a project for a client and everything was going fine till i came to render my project, when i go to render it comes up with a message ‘general error‘, Ive tried turning off my computer restarting fcp and even deleting fcp preferences. Ive searched google and cant seem to find the solution. Can any one help. I have a client wanting DVDs burnt today 🙁

    Hi

    sorry panic over i’ve just tried to render another sequence and it was fine, so i deleted a photoshop file which came in as another sequence and it seems to work, i have re-impoprted the Photoshop file as a PNG and it is all working fine now.

    Will leave this up as it may help someone in the future.

    It would appear you exceeded the allocated memory with the gigantic graphic. Been there.
