Hardware cannot render at requested size/depth… but I don’t have the filters.bundle file!
Hey guys,
I read this link a few minutes ago, and I seem to be having the same problem that this person did: https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/8/1017981
It all stemmed from when my system totally failed a few weeks ago. However, I backed up everything, but did not back up any of the library files from the main hard drive, and thus, did not back up the filters.bundle file.
Is there anyway I can fix this? If anything, my video card is top notch (ati 5770), though it used to be a smaller ati 256mb card before the computer crashed.

Hi Will,
I don’t understand the relation between the GPU, and this statement:
“but did not back up any of the library files from the main hard drive, and thus, did not back up the filters.bundle file”.

What does GPU mean?

I am not sure if the graphics card is even a problem, so I guess we can forget about it being a factor for now. All I know is that I had to reinstall FCP (and plug-ins) after a complete system install last week. Though everything is back up to date, every time I try to completely render and export a 1 hour HD project (that I had started on before the computer was erased), I keep getting various messages such as the “hardware cannot render…” and “Error: Out of Memory” messages.
I have no idea why this is happening.

Trash preferences, repair permissions and if you have DiskWarrior or similar, run it.

Hey Rafael,
I don’t have diskwarrior, but if you suggest I look into it, then I will.
I tried rendering the 1 hour long HD project again, but to no avail. I trashed my preferences, changed to a different video setting, closed additional sequences, and restarted the computer. When I rendered (just through a normal quicktime export), the render took around 7 hours, and I saw a quicktime file being created. Then, after it reached 99%, it said ERROR: OUT OF MEMORY, and the file completely disappeared! The hard drive I was saving it to had over 200 gigs of space, and yesterday I tried saving it to a hard drive that had over 90 gigs of space, so I doubt it’s a hard drive issue.
I do have an idea though… when my OS crashed a few weeks ago, the MAC Genius’ found that one of my RAM sticks was faulty (I have 10 gigs of RAM in my computer; 4 two gig sticks, and 2 one gig sticks. The faulty RAM stick was one of the 1 gig sticks). Currently, my computer has all the RAM inside (except the malfunctioning one gig stick), and since the working one gig stick needs to have the other paired with it, my computer is reading 8 gigs of ram instead of 9. I just got the RAM stick in from Apple and will put it back into the computer when I return on Sunday (I’m out of town until then).Do you think this missing RAM pair could have cause the ERROR messages though? If I were to put the other pair back in, would the messages stop?
Another idea is that I should probably render the video in sections, rather than as an hour long project. Does this sound like a good, alternate plan?

If you have problems rendering/exporting all at once, do it by chops.
