FCP crashes when exporting MPEG2 via compressor…
I’m using a MacBook Pro 2.4GHz 2GB RAM, Final Cut Studio 2, and a USB 2.0 Seagate external hard drive with my media on. My media is just filmed on standard DV and I’m working in PAL.
I’ve been using Motion for the graphics (creating quicktimes in final cut (H.264)) then creating graphics in Motion and then importing the files into my final cut pro bins.
I have finished my sequence (a 17min induction video) and have no trouble exporting it as a quicktime.
Now I want the sequence on a DVD for the best quality so I try and export as a Mpeg2 using compressor and it crashes every time at around 18000 frames….
I’ve trashed my preferences, I’ve copied my film into another sequence and tried to export it again but this time my MacBook just completely froze up around the 18000 frames mark…
HELP PLEASE!!

Sounds like there is a bad media file around that area of your program. Might try trashing render files there, or recapturing that set of shots etc… basically rebuild that area of your sequence.

Thanks Jerry, I’ll investigate that area!
I have trashed all render files and re rendered the whole sequence…
I’m thinking that I might have some of my motion sequences at different FPS… Will this affect anything?

Dunno for sure, but it might.. Might try exporting the Motion files as QT movies whose frame rate matches the sequence settings to eliminate the possible problem. Idea is to simplify the sequence.
