FCPX exporting corrupted clips

[Chris Lambert]

Hi Jeremy that will be my next step i think. I left the computer exporting over night but I only trashed all the event and project renders rather than copying everything to a new project, same results. Hope Apple introduce a dedicated super render mode or something so we can get those faster times outside of exporting as situations like this ultimately require starting again.

currently exporting all the footage from the day without effects as pro res 422 in a new project to see if I can 100% eliminate corrupted media from my inquiries.

thanks for all the help so far, i’ll post on here if/when i get this working so hopefully if anyone ever runs into a similiar issue they can save themselves a few days of screaming

As an aside, what’s the starting timecode of your sequence?

0 i think doesn’t appear to be anything unusual there.

Still no joy since then, I copied everything to a new timeline no effects and exported same issue, i then attempted multiple exports disabling each track to try and discover which clip was doing it, no joy.

I also disabled all the clips on the timeline basically making a 3hr black clip and it STILL didn’t work!

I am able to export the original event clips individually so am currently exporting as Pro Res and then will attempt to restart the project.

What format are the clips originally?

XDCAM EX from a Sony EX3

Looks like I’m going to have to switch to Adobe put all the files into it and did an export, works fine…

My best guess is it’s something related to the pro res as exporting to DVD worked fine and exporting the clips individually as pro res was fine but exporting the whole project even when made up of the previously exported pro res’s never worked! (not sure if dvd export bypasses the mix it down to pro res first part of any export)

Would have liked to have gotten to the bottom of this but seems like jumping ship is the best option as I cant afford to be completing a project only to not be able toget it out of my system.

Just tried with a similiar project dumped 4 clips onto the timeline spanning about 4-5hrs and same problem on export seems something is broken in FCPX once projects go over a certain length. As shorter 1min highlight reel with FX, titles exported fine but all raw footage = bad…

I was able to export 4+ hours.
