Activity Forums Apple Final Cut Pro Legacy “General Error” message

  • “General Error” message

    Posted by Natasha Paulson on March 30, 2009 at 7:03 pm

    I’ve been working all night on a project. I have Final Cut 6.0.4. I’m trying to render this tiny bit of image, but every time I go to render it a “General Error” message pops up with no options. It also happens when I try to export to Quicktime.

    Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Is it a still image?

    #47 – GENERAL ERROR when rendering

    Shane’s Stock Answer #47 – GENERAL ERROR when rendering

    Getting a General Error when you try to render is most often caused by a clip on the timeline that has an inconsistent frame rate.

    SOLUTION: Rebuild the suspect clips – either by exporting from Quicktime Pro with recompression, or Conforming the clip to the project’s frame rate using Cinema Tools.
