First make sure your timeline is completely rendered.

try:
re starting your system.
delete render files and re render.
trash prefs

in that order

Hi thanks for getting back

A clarification. When you say delete reneder files do you mean go to the render folder and delete the files? How do you trush the pref.?

sorry I am relatively knew to this as I am a director who is putting together a selected scenes trailer.

Also it seems to be able to do it in bit, but not the whole timeline at the same time, though I have already done it with an even longer timeline…

thanks for your help.

Hi Erika,
Start by saving your project with a different name.

One other thought – your 75 minute DV file will be over 16 Gb. An FAT-32 file system on a Windows machine will not handle files greater than 4 Gb. Or it could be some similar error.

go to the Tools menu / render manager, in there you’ll see where you’re render files are going, check and delete accordingly…
trashing prefs:
go to Library/Preferences/Final Cut Pro user data. in there, remove the three files with FCP icons, ie: prefs, obj cache and prof cache.. in the folder just prior to the user data folder delete the com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist file. restart your machine.

all this basically serves to clean out your system of any weirdness that might be happening within FCP.. it usualy works too. the FAT32 issue outlined above could be a culprit too…

hope it works…
