FCP/Compressor Not Cooperating
I have a scene that I’ve edited in FCP, it’s going to be on a DVD, so I exported it out as a QT file. When I bring it into Compressor, there’s shots that are not in the timeline showing up. It’s frustrating because it’s not there at all in the timeline.
I’ve also tried to go straight from FCP to Compressor and had the same problem.
I’ve also trashed prefs, etc. and still doesn’t link right.
What could be causing this and how can I fix it before I get committed or my boss kills me.
thanks,

How exactly are you exporting your quicktime file? What menu options are you going through? And have you tried trashing your render files?

I export out of FCP to the Quick Time Movie, I use the current settings.
I have trashed the render files and restarted and it’s still showing the old, old edit.
Is this just a random bug or is there a way to prevent this from happening in the future?
thanks for your response,

It’s just FCP being fussy. I’ve seen it before, rarely, but usually this solves if the preferences zonk, render trash does not-
Copy all the footage in your timeline. Open a new project, new sequence, paste everything in there. Reset your scratch discs to somewhere new. Render, export to self contained quicktime. See if that works.

Thanks for all your responses, I was rendering out self-contained QT movies, but I found out there was a glitch in the original capture.
thanks again,
