    General Error!!!!

    Posted by York Smith on January 22, 2009 at 10:43 pm

    Hi all,

    Would appreciate any help possible I’m on the edge!!

    Editing a project from a domestic sony hard drive camera.

    After much pissing around i discovered the best codec at reasonable data rate and good quality was;

    Motion JPEG B
    85% quality

    Have been working on the project for a while and got to the point where i needed to render, the rendering process starts but then pops up saying GENERAL ERROR, it will render straight text with no video behind it.

    I have tryed;

    Changing the render disk to the internal drive
    Changing the RGB/YUV settings
    Quitting/shutting down
    Rendering different time lines with the same codec
    Leaving it to auto render
    Changing quality in the sequence settings to 100%
    Emptying all render files
    Clearing all missing media files from the project

    I have checked that all the media is read/wright enabled and moved a clip off the external drive onto the internal, imported it and testing if that rendered, no joy.

    Been reading some other threads but no one ever seems to have given a conclusive answer

    Please help!!
