final cut pro
I’m trying to export my timeline (75min) to quick time and I keep getting ‘general error’ and fc shuts down.
I have filmed in dvcam Pal and until quite recently have been able to export to quicktime to make dvds of my rough cut.
Could you please let me know what could be the problem?
thanks

Enough free space on the drive to export to?? 75mins might be a pretty big file.
If not, delete all your render files and re-render. sometimes you can get a bum render file tucked away in your edit.

If not that, trash your prefs. Digital rebellion has a cool app to help with that….

Hi Erik, that for you advise, how do you trash the prefs. Sorry I am relative new at this…

download this app using this will be much easier than looking for the pref’s.
Though, if you feel like looking, Home/library/preferences/Final Cut Pro User Data/
In the last folder you will find 3 files that look like FCP project files: Final Cut Pro 6.0 Prefs.fcset, Final Cut Pro Obj Cache.fcmch and Final Cut Pro Prof Cache.fcpch.
Delete these. And restart FCP. After FCP is open, empty the trash and reset your FCP settings.
If you download the Digital Rebellion Preference Manager, now is the perfect time to Backup your preferences to make this easier the next time they go bad.
