    Need help to export! I have only 5 hours left, please help!

    I have a movie in timeline which is 6.30 minutes long. I chose to export as quicktime movie then it begins to export. When it completes i open the .mov file and movie is only 3.15 minutes long.

    I tried it three times but it only exports 3.15 minutes of it.

    I gave in and out on timeline too…

    I must give this movie to my teacher, I have only 5 hours to go :/
    Please help…

    Footage: Sony Z1 – HDV 1080i 50i
    System: Imac 24″ 2.4 Ghz, Final Cut Pro, Academic Version

    Emir,

    What are your sequence settings? I see your footage is 50i, so assuming that you’re editing at 25fps. You should double check that you’re not exporting at a straight 50fps as your finished export is exactly half of what your edit time is. You could try exporting QT conversion, selecting 1080i50 settings (that way you shouldn’t need to re-render everything) and see if the timeline comes out correctly. I was going to suggest to check your in and out points, but looks like you’ve already done that. When you watch your QT export, does it look like it is playing at the correct rate? What is the QT information box reading the rate as? Or, as it very well could be, is half of your actual edit missing? You might also check that you’ve got enough space at your export destination– I’d try the QT conversion though, and see how that reacts.

    Good luck.

    Are you exporting to WMV using flip4mac? Sounds like you may only have a demo version.
