  • FCP render drop out????

    Posted by Andrew on May 13, 2005 at 5:35 am

    Using FCP HD no matter what render selection I use, after a short period of time I get the following message:
    ‘The specified file is in use by another application.’
    No other software is open and all appropriate projects are open pertainable to whats on my timeline.
    Have you experienced this???
    What can I do?
    It doesn’t appear to be a prob with my render manager…

    First thing to always try is to Quit FCP, Restart the Mac, Open your FCP project and try again.

    Next,
    THE FOLLOWING COMES FROM THE KEN STONE WEBSITE:
    “Over 5,000 years ago Confucius wrote: ‘If you are toiling away, you have changed nothing and FCP heads South on you, [starts behaving in strange ways] then it is time to trash your FCP Preferences.’ ”

    Click the following link for instructions on how to do this…

    Another method is to use “FCP Rescue” a free Apple Script that will Trash the Preferences for you (and restore nearly all of your user settings afterward).
    There are versions for FCP & FCE.
