[Harbour Fraser hodder]

David and Fred,

Thanks for your fixes for this problem. I just encountered something similar and wanted to add what I did to this thread, in case anyone else comes across and wants to try.

I also kept getting “Not Found.” or “General Error.” in the same spot during playback of a sequence. I checked an earlier version of the same sequence and it played through that spot just fine, so it seemed like there was a corruption in the timeline version of the clip rather than the media itself.

I deleted the corrupted (?) version of the clip from the new sequence and pasted in the same clip from the older sequence, and it plays right through without a hitch. Yay!

I should add that my project had gotten quite large (209 MB) with a lot of older sequences, so I followed the advice of some other threads (https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/8/1168852 etc.–thanks) and created a smaller version of the project.

I did a Save As with a new name, then deleted old sequences I no longer needed at my fingertips, and got the new version down to 67 MB. But the “Not Found.” error still came up, so it was unrelated to project size.

FYI, I’m using fcp 7 with HDV 1080i footage.

Thanks again,

Harbour
