Reviving an old thread, I know, but the suggested remedy for this issue is incorrect. The file length is not at fault.

I just successfully exported a file, then tried to export the file again after a slight revision. The only difference in the new filename was an incremented number at the end.

Here are the filenames I attempted to save:

Interview – Guinea Pig final1.mov
Interview – Guinea Pig final2.mov

And here is what ended up on my HD:

Interview – Guinea Pig final1.mov
Interview – Guinea Pi#987E9.mov

So it would seem it’s not the length. It also can’t be the export or sequence settings since these were unchanged.

My vote is that it’s still a bug (as of FCP v 7.0.3 running on 10.7.3).

If Time Machine is doing ANYTHING (preparing, backing up, cleaning up, etc.) My FCP locks up completely. Even if I try to launch FCP while TM is backing up, the welcome screen will sit there until TM is finished.
