Help 1080i FCP
Hello i have a question I recently cut a short film that was 1080i on HDV, I have all my Seq. settings right and when I go to Export-QT movie-current setting I get the movie but I also get 4-5 other files that aren t anything and if i trash them the QT movie wont play are these reference files? how can i make the movies self contained and so it doesn’t need these files?

This sounds like your drive that you are exporting to is formatted FAT32…that has a 4GB limit. Because of that QT is breaking the file up into multiple clips…they are are tied. Look at all the clips, notice that they are all 4GB files….

However, copy all the files to another hard drive first, as the entire drive and everything on it will be erased during reformatting.

That sound to me like wrong files Finder Info.
Run DiskWarrior orTechTools in all your HDs. Starting by the System one.Cheers,

Was this drive given to you from someone working on a PC? If so, do you need to give this drive back to someone working on a PC?
If you format to mac OS Extended the PC guy wont be able to read the drive anymore. Only FAT32 is universal to both Mac and PC.
