  • FCP shutting down while trying to export Quicktime file

    Posted by Jeff Newton on April 4, 2006 at 5:40 am

    hello…I am trying to export my project to a quicktime file as a self contained file…right after I name it and hit okay FCP shuts down. I have tried it so many different times..I even shut down my system for a little while just in case.

    One thing I know for sure is I am running low on space…do you think that could be one thing?

    Also, I am runnig FCP 5.04. Has anyone else had problems with that version?

    If someone could please help that could be awesome…I need to get this project off of my system and compress it to show my client ASAP.

    Thanks, Jeff.

    Jeff,

    anytime you have less than 5% space left on any drive, this disk will not be reliable.
    Try a couple of these:

    – export to another drive
    – export non-self contained and ‘consolidate’ using compressor
    – trash your render files and re-render your whole sequence in one run. Your problem might be caused by a corrupt clip or render file.

    5.0.4 has been good to us so far, but looking forward to 5.1 for numerous reasons (separate timecode capture, 5.1 audio, 720p25 integration, more intelligent nesting, advanced attributes-handling, advanced speed-menu’s etc.etc.etc.)
