My issues are perhaps not directly related to what is discussed here, but I did however get “General Error” messages during a recent output to QT.
I work in ProRes 422 HQ and had some clips (rendered in the same codec) of stills from AE. When the cut was locked I did a basic color grade via Color and after this step I did get the G.E. message.
I narrowed it down to some (not all) of my AE-clips AFTER they had been to Color. After replacing these clips with the ones that had NOT been to Color (these clips were not graded in the first place) the output went just fine.
No idea why.
Just thought I should share this.
Kind Regards,
Johan
