hmmm…..so since I was using compressor this last time to try and export…..it actually tells me what frame it crashes on…..all off the media in a certain spot seems to crash it…about a 3 minute chunk of stuff….I set and in and out after that point to the end of the program and it is exporting it now…..IM crossing my fingers that it finishes…..if it does at least I have narrowed it down…still a bummer……I will have to spend more moeny renting the deck again…but at least I know thats the issue so thanks for your help…is there a reason why the media might have gotten corrupt? Anything I can do besides renting the deck again to recapture…..

I really hope this is not the issue….I will try this route as nothing else seem to be working…..unfortunetly I dont have the DVCPRO50 deck that I had to rent to digitize all of the material…..so if this is the issue, i will have to go back to the client and tell him I need the deck again…..in this case since it is MY system that is corrpting the media….I think I am liable to pay for it……what a bummer…

Im definatly not bashing FCP…it just drives me crazy sometimes…..thks for your response…

FCP 5.0.4
OSX 10.4.6
QT 7..0.4
Im using Huge Media Vault 2.5 TB SCSI dirve array
Atto UL4D SCSI controller
the drives are not even %50 full
I have all the latest drivers for the firmware on the Huge array as well as the newest driver for the Atto

I just tried using compressor to export and it crashed as well……

I did not mixdown the audio, i will try it but at this point all Im trying to do is export the movie and I cant even do that, mixing down the audio should have nothing to do with exporting…

any ideas?

Not what Im being told…..even simple dissolves render in 8bit….do you knwo something else????

Paul

[Paul Harb]

Right, just to be clear….Im good friends with the guy that is giving me the info….and they are not in line any more…..tehy were going to do it for a cheaper DI system….but didnt end up doing it after talking to programmers at Apple……it only renders in 8 bit, even just normal dissolves……if you know something different even with version 5 please tell…cause as far as I know…it renders dissolves in 8 bit……does version 5 to your knowledge render in 10bit???

From programmers at Apple…..

THks for the response……I am learning the hard way…..the post house we are taking our online too doesnt have a symphony that will do HD so they pushed us to the DS and now we are paying for it in time…..I should have done more research but I trusted the people around me knew what they were doing……is the Symphony Nitros out and available??? And it will do uncompressed HD? What about 2K 4K? THanks again…
