Freeze at 30% when rendering and exporting!!!
I am having a problem when rendering and exporting. It stops at or around 30% every time then i have to force quit FCP. It all started with the program lagging. If I play my sequence, it takes forever to start and the cursor will keep jumping to different spots as if it is playing but its not. At this point it takes forever to do anything. It seems like its only a couple project files on my external hard drive. I tried the same thing with a project that is stored on my laptop and it exported fine.
I have a brand new Mac Book Pro Laptop with FCP 6.0.4. I have an External Lacie hard drive connected with Firewire800 and I also have another Samsung monitor hooked up.
I’ve tried every which way. I’ve tried copying and pasting the sequence into a whole new project. I’ve tried rendering without the monitor hooked up. I’ve also erased my FCP settings through FCP Rescue 6. I don’t know whats going on! Are the files corrupted which is causing everything else out of wack?

Hi Heather,
If it happens always when FC reach the same point, sounds like some media corruption issue.
Try to figure out which files can be causing you the trouble and put the off-line. Then you need to put them again on-line till you start to have problems again. Is the only way to find it out.

Render small sections to isolate the corrupt clip. Save along the way. Once you’ve isolated the corrupt clip, select it and go to Modify > Make Offline and use buttons in the dialog box to delete the related media from the clip. Recapture the offline clip and it will automatically re-link. If you don’t have access to the original tape, then try exporting the clip, reimport it into FCP and re-cut it back into the timeline.

I know what media is corrupt now. Although, I do not have access to the original footage. I tried to export just that clip and it gives me the error “File I/o error.” What does that mean? Is there any other avenue to try?
The affected media is not just one clip either. Its a whole bunch of footage.

what if you render in chunks, and everything is fine, meaning there are no corrupt clips, but if you try to render the whole sequence to make sure you got everything, it still crashes…
