  • Urgent… “General Error” with Audio

    Posted by Daniel Elder on December 1, 2006 at 1:36 am

    I am mastering a TV Show, and I haven’t had this issue before, basically what I have is the master timeline. Then I have two seperate timelines: Anamorphic & Letterbox. The two seperate timelines are having major audio issues throughout the 30 min show, and they are getting through the video render, then they fall apart on the audio render with the “General Error” message popping up. I assume it must mean that I have a corrupt file somewhere in the mix, but where do I find it and how do I solve this issue. Because the master timeline, isn’t having any issues with this, it’s just the two seperate timelines.

    Thanks

    If the mix is the exact mix on the “master timeline” a quick fix is to Export -> Aiff from the master, and bring that in for the two problematic timelines.

    “general error” kinda sounds like a permission problem, or out of disk space?

    Thanks Charlie, That’s what I did. I exported a reference file audio and brought that file back in and attached it to get my 4 channel mix of stereo and mono, that way it wasn’t compressed in any way too.

    It worked, but I must say that that was a weird thing to have happen, ah well… It’s good to have a work around.

    Somedays I feel like most things I want to do in FCP end up being jimmy-rigged 🙂 but maybe that’s half the fun?
