Hi,
What are your current codec?
Are there any still images or other “odd” material in your project that might corrupt your recompress?Tip is to reorganise your material in FCP bins called
“recomp 1”
“recomp 2”
etc. so that you can recompress a bin at the time, and if you have corrupt/defiant files they wont mess up your whole export.– Media manager ain’t known for stability, if you have defiant files you could try compressor:
highlight your files in the browser ->export using compressor.You could try recompressing to for example photo Jpeg at 20-30% instead of DV
Hope this helps you out,Andreas

Uhm…two people responded to this thread with questions that you didn’t answer. Very valid questions. If you choose not to answer those questions, then by all means, go back to your Avid.
Many Avid editors, me included, switched to FCP and never looked back…unless we were forced to. But, if you feel FCP isn’t up to the task, and that Avid is, then use the Avid. It is a perfectly fine editing system.
