File Error Why?
When I export a clip to quicktime or compressor I sometimes get a “File Error: A file of this name already exists.” Sounds simple enough, but I know for a fact that there is no other file with that name. This happens very often (maybe half the time I export a clip) Usually if I close FCP and re-open it, it works fine. Just a pain to have to close and re-open so often.
Anyone have any idea why this is happening?

Trash your FCP preference files and see if that helps. Here’s a link on where to find them on your hard drive and how to trash them properly:

You can also download a free program that will trash FCP prefs automatically and install a fresh set. Do a Google search for “FCP Rescue”.
