  • Sequences don’t open “Error: Not Found” followed by “Out of Memory”

    Posted by Adam Schoales on March 11, 2009 at 3:33 am

    So the other day I came back to a clients project to try and do the final pass following a round of notes only to come across the strangest error I’ve ever encountered.

    It would begin to open sequences (1 of 4) but then as the second is about to open I’d get an error saying “Not Found”. Clicking okay would then give the error “Out of Memory”.

    If I restored from an autosave I could get back some of the work…

    Here’s the crazy part. I had it to the point that everything was working. I saved as a separate project. Opened that project later and got the errors again. So I reset my prefs again thinking that might help. It didn’t.

    Does anyone have ANY idea what could be causing it? The only thing I can think is that prior to starting the project I trashed my prefs. Once I got back to the office I restored from the time machine my older prefs (since I wanted all my plugin favourites and stuff back). I thought perhaps this caused the problem (especially since some of the transitions have no words on them…). I went back to restore from the time machine the preferences from after I reset them… no dice. Didn’t help at all.

    Please help! I need to get these things finished up!

    Open the project and save it with a new name.

    Already tried that. Didn’t work. The newly saved project (that WAS working prior to restarting final cut) is the one that isn’t working. I could go back to the older one but then I’d lose all my changes, and would have to redo my edits – which i wouldn’t mind so long as I could make sure that there was a way to make them stick.

    hi Adam,
    I’m trying to suggest you easy operations that some times fixes those problems.
    Open a new Project, select, rag and drop everything from the Browser of the old project to the new.
    it worked for me sometimes.

    Alright just tried that. Worked the first time around… second time around I got the not found error, the canvas showed “viewer not displayable” or something, and final cut crashed.

    Another option: Corrupt media.
    Put your media off-line and try to open the project and all the sequence.
    If it doesn’t crash is some media what is causing you the trouble.
    The solution putting the media back on-line in bunches, till you find the corrupted file.
    Don’t you have elements of Motions or LiveType in your sequences/

    Solved it, i think. It was a bad photoshop file. Took it out and so far all clear.
