Activity Forums Apple Final Cut Pro Legacy refuses to render

  • refuses to render

    Posted by Digitalgodess on March 24, 2006 at 12:48 pm

    I am runnining Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 and having huge render problems on all media, text, video and picture stills. If I can get the render to work, it usually just jumps straight out, it renders for a bit and then quits saying File error: The specified file is open and in use by this or another application. I have no other applications open or running. Other times I just get General Error! This is driving me crazy as I am in the middle of a huge project which needs a lot of rendering. Please can someone advise.

    I had a similar problem recently. The only fix I found was to replace the offending file, in my case it was an animation which was in QT format. I completely deleted it, re-imported it and that fixed the rendering problem.

    With that said, I started to have this same problem pop up yesterday on a project. I found that I could get the segments to render if I highlighted them and used “render selection.”

    Thanks for replying.

    I can’t delete everything as my whole project is the edit that I have done on the time line, if I deleted everything I would have to start from the beginning again and its quite a complex edit. I’ve tried highlighting sections and to no avail. Help help still so stuck not sure if I am corrupting the project the more I try to render and the more error messages I get.
