Help – ERROR Message: No Movie In File
I am attempting to play a project but it stops at the same spot on the timeline and shows the “No movie in file” error message.
What does this mean?
So far, I have: done a safe boot and repaired permissions; trashed the FCP preferences; saved the project under a new name; copied the timeline and moved it to a new sequence…. nothing works. I have even created stills and replaced the video from the timeline hoping to remove a corrupted file.
This project is due Monday and I have yet to encode it to m2v and burn the DVDs. The length of the project is 1h 45m. Other projects of similar length in this series are playing back properly.
I am running FCP Studio on a Dual 2GHz G5 with 4.5 GB RAM on OS 10.3.9
Any help is appreciated

Have you tried to play all the respective media separately at the point of stoppage in other programs? For instance, play the video files in QT and the title in Livetype, maybe render the title out and import and replace footage. I would also see if that section would re-render or output to a reference QT movie. Anything special about that section? Transition? Effects? Keyframes? Will the video continue to play after that point?
Hope this helps-

Thanks for your suggestions Matthew. I replaced some clips and discovered that the project would play without error by simply moving the audio from tracks 1 and 2 to 3 and 4…go figure.
Thanks for responding,
Paul
