Not found error
Im trying to export a chunk of audio and video from a larger FCP 5 sequence and an error comes up saying not found. I am exporting as a self contained QT. I have made multiple new sequences and the same thing. I have tried different computers and same thing. I have also tried saving the QT to multiple places, hard drive and several different external hard drives. The media is all there so i don’t understand the error message. Any thoughts?

Which version? we had a problem with media manager hanging up on a file because we created a freeze-frame.

We are running Studio. How did you get around this problem. There are three stills on top of each other scaled to fit in the frame together. We did notice it was causing us some problems. If we play that sequence it will stop as soon as it reaches that part, and gives us a general error.

Mock it up in After Effects and render out a quicktime….This versions of FCP is very buggy in those regards.

Hi Josh
this sounds very much like you have a corrupted media file … very probably one of those three clips
try deleting one of those three from the sequence, then play back at that point … if it plays ok then you’ve found the bad clip
if not, undo the delete and then repeat the test with the next clip, and then the next … one of them will very likely be the cause of the problem.when you’ve isolated the bad clip, then replace clips media (in this case the still) with a new copy (redigitise, recapture, recover)
hope that helps some

It’s an extra step, but until things get fixed, I’ve been exporting out freezes as stills and exporting out speed changes as self-contained movies and reimporting them back in. Then I have real media for when I archive, or for times like these.
It is a pain, but it’s better than the current alternative!

It seems that the double post is created when one “post direct”s…
I’ll be previewing from now on!!
