is it possible to copy a 14gig FCP clip?

[Bret Williams]

Put the file in a folder and copy that. Stufit and copy that. Just try some stuff.

have you tried other drives? If the clips copies to whatever drive it’s on, then it seems to me to be some sort of permissions error on whatever you are copying to.

thanks jeremy — i tried that too, other files copy no problem. it appears to be this one clip. maybe there’s some corruption somewhere, but then why would it play OK in FCP?

i’m going to readdress after this weekend.

thank you for the input.

Hi WaterBoy,
Open your file with QT. Open a new window. Copy and paste your file in the new window, and try to save it as autocontained in the other disk. May work.
Yours is very curios problem. Thats normally happens when disks are full or too fragmented. If the file would be corrupted I think you couldn’t make any coppy. And if in the end is corrupted, try FileJuicer. Works grate.
Salud,
rafael

that’s a good idea… but it still crashes? i tried it twice. i’m baffled. i have one idea left, i’m gonna try it, but i’m a little embarrassed as to say what it is. if it works, i’ll post back.

thank you rafael and everyone else.
