I'm getting a general error message then out of memory trying to add a new sequence

Anyone know how to fix?? i am getting a general error message and then out of memory when adding a new squence?? Help!

The General Error warning is usually associated with incompatible files.
Out of Memory can be caused by corrupted clips, incompatible files and still images that use a color mode other than RGB.

I get a General Error message when I convert my film to Quicktime Movie.

I've compressed my film down to 24p etc etc. That worked fine. Before I did the compression there were some things I had to reconnect, did that, there was only one that didn't reconnect but the compression worked fine. Then I go to turn the film into a Quicktime Movie, I get to about 60% then I get a General Error message. Anyone have any ideas why thats happening?

Have you tried the compression with cinema tools?
make a quicktime movie of the stuff at 25 that you want to compress at 24 and go to cinema tools. make sure you create a new database at 24fps and try menu clip / comform. notice that cinema tools doesn't duplicate the clip, so it converts the one you are importing, make sure it is a copy of the original at 25

When I export from the timeline in Final Cut Pro HD, I get a general error message

When I export from the timeline in Final Cut Pro HD, I get a general error message and the export quits. Any ideas on a fix?

Also, if I remember correctly, Final Cut Pro HD was version 4.5. Is this what you are running?
If so, what version of OSX and Quicktime are you running?

Im getting the following error message when Time Machine is trying to back up: backup disc image/volumes/data/my computer.sprasebundle is already in use. What does this mean? How do i correct? Thanks!

90% of the time, all you need to do is power off the Time Capsule, wait a few minutes, and power it back up.
If no luck, then go to the more sophisticated fixes in the link above.

Getting a general error message in FCE when putting .mov file onto timeline

Putting a .mov film onto the timeline above a moving image so we see the mov file playing in a reduced size in the background of whats going on ( a window). Don't know why this is happening but any advice would be appreciated!
We are really stuck so any help would be so appreciated!
thanks.

Its converted to an mpeg4 file but i think it may be the fact it is running at 30fps as oppose to the rest of the project which is 25fps. When I try to put it on the timeline it gives me the general error and then the footage which was on below it on timeline no longer exists. Very strange.

General Error (34) and Out of Memory Msgs

I've been editing footage for a video for quite some time (several weeks). I have several folders in my media browser depicting different scenes. However, there is only one folder with media clips that yield the message (General Error {34} followed by the Out of Memory message)..
However, when I go to other clips and click on them, I do not get those messages. Everything's fine...I can see them in the Viewer, no problem and I can edit as appropriate. It only seems to be with that one set of media clips...So (and I'm afraid to ask) am I staring at a corrupt set of media clips in this folder? What's a way to remedy this?
Thanks,
Henri

Yes... Yet there is so much information around this and so many different iterations to the solutions that the right solution for my particular case is not that easily discernible. Some suggest removing old preferences, others suggest memory and/or corrupt file issues. I've already run Diskwarrior to see if partition/drive problems exist, which was another discussion thread...
I'm not sure if my situation, being that only one browser media file that has this problem could be directly addressed.
I simply want some 2nd opinions regarding it.

General Error Final cut__ Out of memory

I'm editing a short sequence were the footage is all h.264. When I import the footage to the bins and I try to open the clip in the canvas I get the message General Error and Out of Memory follows.
Why is this?
Below you can find the Clips info. The bottom four are the ones that give the error when opened.

Get a general error message when I try to open one file

I am having trouble with one file. It was working fine and today I tried to open it and it wouldn't open. I can open any other FCP file and I can open only the older versions from the autosave vault. Any body have any ideas how I might get the file to open?

Welcome to the forum.
It is highly likely one of the files in the project is corrupted or the project file itself is corrupted.
Try this:
Move your media to a different folder or rename the folder where all the media is located.
Launch FCP. If it starts, most, if not all of the material in the browser will show being "offline". Reconnect one by one until the program crashes.
The one that jams up the works is bad and needs to be either recaptured or recreated.
If the program will not launch that project file, you are going to be stuck using one of your backups from the autosave vault. Be glad you have one.
Good luck.

General error message

I have recently finished and edited a wedding DVD for a client.However they want now all uncut footage onto a DVD but every time i export it (sequence is only 1 hr 30 mins) it comes up with a general error message just before completing.I have also rendered all in the sequence and i have 35 gb available on the drive and there are no transitions between clips except for a dissolve on the intro and a fade out at the end.
Any advice is welcome and many thanks in advance.

Thanks for an interesting idea but allas it didn't work !!
It wouldn't export the first raw footage sequence I exported without any transittions . So I then exported it a second time but with a cross disolve at the front and a fade out at the end and all was then fine. But with the raw footage 2 sequence I'm doing now I'm still getting the " general error" message even after this little trick.... and after your trick too........
Oh well thanks for the tip.

Final Cut 7 Exporting - GENERAL ERROR Message

Been working on this for days now and it's driving me nuts. I'm trying to export a 22-minute long sequence. These are my export settings:
FCP 7
File -> Export -> Quicktime Conversion
Format: MPEG-4
Options:
File Format: MP4
Video:
Video Format: H264
Data Rate: 25,000 (approximately - it might be a little more or less to get it to 2GB)
Image Size: 1280X720
Frame Rate: 29.97
Key Frame: Every
Frames: 3
Video Options:
Restrict Profiles to: Main
Encoding Mode: Faster (unless you want to spend a couple of days rendering)
Audio:
Format: AAC-LC
Data Rate: 320
Channels: Stereo
Output Rate: 48.000 kHz
Encoding Quality: Best
I keep getting a General Error message. I've tried everything. Settings are kosher, I've rendered every single clip, full timeline renders perfectly well, I export just small segments and that works, don't know what to do.
Suggestions?

Yeah, it has to be a settings issue. Just won't let me export something that large. I threw in the quicktime file of the last portion into the timeline with the rest. General error once again at 80%. So I know it's not something in the actual sequence.
If it exports as a quicktime, and then it exports in three broken up segments without a hitch, there must be something that's not allowing me to export a file that large.
Any clues?

I have connected my time capsule to motorola SG6580 modem via ethernet. I have a wireless network on the motorola and a wireless network from the time capsule. I get duplicate IPs error messages sometimes. How do I fix?

I have connected my time capsule to motorola SG6580 modem via ethernet. I have a wireless network on the motorola and a wireless network from the time capsule. I get duplicate IPs error messages (no connection) sometimes when trying to connect devices to the wireless network. How do I fix? Sometimes devices cannot connect to the network because of conflicting IPs. I look on the Motorola and every device has a unique IP assigned but occasionally a device has taken the IP of another device. I have been writing down all the devices and the IPs they have been using. It happens more with PCs than Macs, ipads or iPhones.

If the Time Capsule is set up correctly in bridge mode, then it is the responsibility of the Motorola modem/router to provide the correct IP address assignments for all devices on the network.
Check to insure that the Time Capsule is correctly set up to operate in bridge mode as follows:
On your Mac, open AirPort Utility
Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click the Network tab at the top of the next window
Insure that the setting for Router Mode is configured to read "Off (Bridge Mode)"
Once you have confirmed that the Time Capsule is configured correctly, everything else is the responsibility of the Motorola modem/router as far as network routing and IP address assignments for devices.
If you continue to have IP address issues, then you should contact the Internet Service Provider (ISP) that provided the Motorola device to you and ask them to fix the issue.

Missing Render files, won't play, General Error message

I have Final Cut Pro 5.0.4 on my Mac 1.8 Ghz Power PC G5, using Mac OS 10.4.10.
I just opened a Final Cut Pro project and got a message that several render files were offline. No idea how that happened, and I couldn't find them to reconnect. Now, when I try to play the video, it stops and a "General Error" message comes up.
I tried re-rendering the whole thing,and reconnected all my media files, but it still won't play. Any ideas on how to save my project?

There are just too many possibilities for us to start guessing. Try searching for GENERAL ERROR and MISSING RENDER FILES, both topics get posted often so you'll find several suggestions and possible causes. However, not many people bother to close their threads around here so there's no way to know if any of the information we passed on was of any help.
FCP 4 and 5 had the odd super-power to make files disappear as if they had never existed. General Error often indicates a corrupt project file so try to open one of your AutoSaves.
