AE cc quicktime error on Importing/Exporting/Rendering (osx)

I keep getting errors when importing Quicktime files (no matter what the codec is) and when exporting/rendering, (see attached screenshot for error on importing).
Error during rendering (after 10-15 seconds) is:
After Effects error: Rendering error while writing file "xxx". An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted. (-1610153464)
The only solution I found it's to close and restart AE CC. Yesterday I also got a couple of crashes when rendering.
CS6 was working perfectly, error began to appear when I started working on CC.
I have Apple pro apps installed, quicktime is updated. I mainly export in lossless, photo-jpeg or png sequence.
Is there a fix for this in the update I just downloaded (7.0.1)?

Update. It happened right now, with default settings (lossless/automatic audio). The comp is just a simple psd as a background layer, couple of text and a camera, duration 20 seconds, no motion blur.
I got this error (see attached image), restarted AE, then the render went ok.
Cache is set in a folder on the same drive as the render dir, it's an internal SSD (secondary, the os is on another one).
(Already updated AME to 7.0.1)

Getting an error while importing/exporting the universe from my BO Designer

Hi,
   I am facing a issue while importing/exporting the universe from my BO Designer to the Server.The error is mentioned below.
   'File Repository Server Input is down'
   Once I click the OK button on this error message, it displays the message
   'Could not import the Universe'.
I tried the check the status of the File Repository Server (Ouput and Input) and also the of the Root Directory on the Physical Server and also my machine.They all have read-write access.
Installed Version of the Universe Designer Client: Business Object XI Release 2 SP3
Installed Version of the BO Enterprise Server: Business Object XI Release 2 SP2
Can you please help me to resolve the issue

Hi,
   The step you have mentioned may not be applicable to my issue as one of my colleagues can import/export the universe from the same server
The second thing is that a DB2 Client v9 is installed on both mine and my colleagues system.The Designer software can recognise the DB2 drivers on his system but it cannot recognise the same drivers on my system.I even checked the versions of the BO software installed on his and my system and they are same.
The only difference is that his machine is a Windows XP Machine and mine is a Network Desktop.
Will any of the above two things will affect the operation of the BO Designer.
Thanks

QuickTIme Error -8969 (important)

We are currently using compressor 2 and flip4mac (licensed) to export out using the file format "QuickTime Export Components".
When we process a 5-minute file it completes the task successfully. When we using the same custom setting on a 80 minute recording (same source file) it will generate the following error:
Failed: QuickTime Error: -8969
Has anyone else experienced the same error and developed a solution?

Repeated "QuickTime Error: -50" while export into Prores

What it's mean? Is anywhere QuickTime Errors list? Google fail down.
Sourses is H.264 HD

Search is your friend
The -50 error means "error in user parameters list", which means FCP is using invalid settings to create the movie. It could be related to preferences or an invalid installation but it's most likely a Final Cut Pro bug.

This is a File System error. Check the integrity of your drives using Disk Utility > Verify Disk.

Other related posts suggest it is caused when there are CMYK stills used...if you have those replace with RGB stills

HT5148 I am using the trial FCP 10.0.8 and I get a quicktime error when I export to any format I get a quicktime -50 error. Any idea why this could be happening?

Hi, i am using the 10.0.8 trial version and trying to export a simple project to any format and get the Quicktime -50 error. Has anyone seen this before?

Often Times the 50 error means corrupt media. What is your original media and did you optimize?
Try this. Turn off Background Rendering in Preferences. From the File menu, and with your project selected in the Library, Delete Project Render Files. Close FCP and empty the trash. Open FCP and your project, With the Range Tool, select a short section of your timeline. Without rendering, export that section as a Pro Res Master File. If that works, It's likely that your project should be OK to export.

If I use the "release transfer" function of IR, the new created version can be export correctly.
I've tried to create a new SC and SWCV, it can be export & import correctly.
Also, if copied all of the objects from a namespace to a new namespace, and delete the old one, that SWCV can be export correctly.
Anyone knows what's wrong within my IR?
Thanks.

Error during Import & Export of rules - RAR 5.2

Hi all,
We tried exporting the rule set from Production to the Quality system (as we wanted to make changes in the quality system and then move to the production again).
For this we followed the step by step procedure provided in the configuration guide for Import and Export of rules. The background job was successfull. But we are unable the generate the Action and Permission rules in Quality System
We observed the following the Quality system
a) All the functions and risks imported successfully and we could able to see them
b) But when we click on the Action rules it is poping up the error
"500 Internal Server error.00 -Failed to process request Please contact your sys admin"
c) We are unable to find the ACTIONS (T-CODES) under the respective functions imported into the Quality System.
Does anybody faced the same problem and resolved it. Please help us in resolving
Thanks and Best Regards,
Srihari.K

Hi
You can also review the guide GRC Access Control 5.2 u2013 Risk Analysis and Remediation: Quick Reference Guide for Moving to Production to see if it helps you identify your problem.

Error in import/export of functions - for the apex team

After exporting functions, the import gives an error.
Reason :
the export generates a script with
function \
function
importing this script gives an error because only the first function is imported. or the functions seems to be togheter one function
the export should generate
function
function
Leo

Leo - I logged into your workspace and exported the functions. The generated script looks perfectly good. I then uploaded that file into my own workspace and ran the script. The functions were all created as separate functions.
There must be something happening at your end causing newline characters in the file to be lost or something. Or maybe I didn't follow exactly the steps you did.
BTW, when you mentioned the "\" character in your original post, I assumed you meant the "/" character.

Yes, the language of this forum is English, but we've had people asking for help in French (as in this case), Spanish and German - perhaps even in Icelandic? Maybe because they are not fluent enough in English, I guess.
And in the same way I could more or less decode your comment (with google translate and a bit of common sense), one could also figure out the OP's problem. Actually, I am sure you don't even need google to guess it is a Quicktime Error -50 when exporting...

Share operation dvd has failed QuickTime error 0

My 44 minutes long project in Final Cut Pro 10.0.9 project fails with a message: "Share operation DVD has failed, QuickTime Error: 0". I use OSX 10.9.
Yesterday, I rectified the situation by rebooting the system and starting to "share" again. To-day made a few extra corrections here and there but nothing simple works. I even removed the background photo from the DVD opening menu but no success :-((
Ross's earlier advice on this forum was:
"Select a short section of your project and export as a Pro Res master file.
If that also fails, turn off BG Rendering; delete project render files; copy the entire Timeline to a new project.
Russ"
Could you please be more specific. I am a novice to FCP.
1.How to select a short section ? Select 4-5 frames (yellow band) from the timeline ?
2. How to _export_ as a ProRes file ? From File > Share > Master File (default) ? (Or if it has to be an "export" perhaps File >Export XML ?)
3. How and where to turn off BC Rendering ?
4. How to delete project render files ? File > "Delete Project Redner Files" is not highlighted in the File menu, so how to select this action ?
5. How to copy the entire Timeline into a new project ? File >New Project ? Then select the whole of the old timeline, copy > paste into the new timeline ? Or a different method ?
I think that it is better to ask even some simple (for experts) questions ? :-)
Many thanks,
Kris

1) Either use the Range tool or set in and out points on the Timeline.
2) Either way will work. For example, Share>Master File and choose Pro Res in the Settings>Video Codec field.
3) Background Rendering can be turned off in Preferences.
4) Select the project in the Project Library first.
5) Create a new project with settings to be determined automatically by first clip. In the original project, Command-A and then Command-C. Open the new project, click in the Timeline window to activate and hit Command-V.
Good luck.

General error in FCP re: rendering and export after Quicktime 7.5.5 update

Hi
My FCP 6.0.4 rendering and export to Compressor no longer works after an update to Quicktime 7.5.5.
Rendering fails after a few seconds "General Error!" pops up. Exporting to Compressor, after setting it compressing, Compressor after a few seconds fails. (audio is processed) My current work around is exporting a sequence using Quicktime conversion (time consuming) and then opening in Compressor.
I've done the usual, deleting prefs, new sequences and projects, even saving movs in different codecs.
(been using H.264)
My sequences are all custom sizes but tests using presets also fail.
Any ideas anyone?
And I was so happy the Quicktime upgrade could play sequence movs recorded months earlier that until now I couldn't play properly due to previous Quicktime upgrades!
Apple gives with one hand and takes with the other....

Hi There,
Thanks for your reply on this.
Well basically since I'm using content already in the H.254 codec (eg: a trailer off the internet, or the downsizing of HD footage) i'm just exporting to a codec that didn't have to be rendered and gave quality results. I used motion jpeg B as an export codec because it was quick (although HD space hungry) with no drop in quality. The resulting exports could be imported into a custom sequence (720 x 405) as square pixel aspect ratio files. Overlapping the canvas with other windows (eg: viewer) meant I could play a clip (with dropped frames) but not have to render it. I selected the H.264 codec as the sequence codec because I've found other codecs introduce darkening or lightening or blurring or other undesirable artefacts when exported to Compressor. H.264 used in the sequence settings exported through Compressor would give resulting m2v's as sharp and contrast accurate as the source file.
That was until the recent 7.5.5 Quicktime update where attempts to do the same things I did before result in "General Error!" coming up after a few seconds of play or rendering.
Traditional DV codecs are "blurry" in my opinion, especially when coping with web content or conversion of HD downloads.
If you can suggest an editing codec that works best with FCP that is quick, doesn't introduce blurring or general degrading of the image I'd be happy to try it out. I typically downsize HD content from the web for DVD playback, so it's usually in a H.264 codec already. So i would need a codec for export from Quicktime that would work best with a codec in FCP. That doesn't alter picture quality when compressed to m2v in Compressor.
Thanks!

Renderfarm error: Pre-Flight Error: Unable to import previously rendered file

I have an error message I am receiving during network rendering on a renderfarm, and was hoping for some help. The error is this: "Pre-Flight Error: Unable to import previously rendered file."
Here is my setup and some details:
The user makes a comp, and adds it to the render queue set to render as a quicktime movie file. Then they run a script which precomps everything and sets it to render as a image sequence with "Skip existing files" checked. This comp also has a post-render action set to import & replace usage. After this comp is rendered, it gets pulled back into the project and the original render item starts rendering the movie file using the previously rendered image sequence as it's only layer.
This project gets saved to a server where our render nodes are watching the folder. All the render nodes pick up the project and proceed to render the image sequence. Then, after they are done, 1 machine will pick up the second render item and begin rendering the image sequence into the final quicktime movie.
All of this goes smoothly about 90% of the time. However, in some cases an error shows up in the watch folder html page for the 2nd render item (the one converting the image sequence to the movie). The error says "Pre-Flight Error: Unable to import previously rendered file." After the error occurs, no machines will start rendering the project.
My first guess is that the render engine on one machine somehow skips rendering the image sequence comp, and then tries to render the quicktime movie comp and fails because the image sequence has not yet been rendered. However, I can't figure out why After Effects would skip rendering the first comp.
Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks for the help, and let me know if you have any more questions about the setup,
Adam

Well, you should get used to the fact that it's simply gone... Just looking at your screenshot makes me grind my teeth. From delayed writing of files to fragmentation in user folders to Windows doing obscure things this could be anything, but seriously, saving important files on the desktop? That is simply sloppy data management. There is no other way to say it. Read up on what proper file naming, incremental saving and backups are good for and why keeping work files separate and away from your user home directories is actually a quite simple, yet effective concept to avoid exactly that kind of issue.

Quicktime error when trying to export FCPX movie to YouTube

I have an established YouTube account and I'm having trouble uploading one of my videos to YouTube. It just seems to crap out at about 12% done, and I get a Quicktime error. I'm sharing it via Final Cut Pro X.
I haven't had this problem with any of the other videos I've tried to upload to YouTube, including a couple of simple test videos today. The test videos all uploaded just fine.
The video I'm trying to upload is about 5 minutes long and has a lot of still images and transitions. Maybe it's very data-heavy and that's why it's falling over? Should I do something like compress the file before trying to share it to YouTube? Or make it into a master file first and then upload to YouTube from my browser instead?

IMO, using YT uploader is more reliable.
Although I responded differently to your other thread, based on the additional info here, it sounds like you might have a bad render file. I'd suggest you:
turn off background rendering;
delete project render files
without rendering, export a short section of your project to a Pro Res master file.

HT4714 i cant export my video to any of the destinations on my list.. it keeps saying QuickTime Error -50 what do i do cuz if i cant use it i want my money back

i cant export my video into anything i keep getting a QuickTime Error -50

Unfortunately, these boards have too many similar complaints.
There are variety of things that seem to cause these exporting failures. Most seem to relate to corrupted clips. Here's a list of fixes that have worked to solve some of the reported problems.
First it's worthwhile to trash preferences; use this app.
Turn off Background Rendering.
From within FCP, delete project render files and event render files. Select a short section and export without rendering. If it works, export the full project. If it doesn't work…
Create a new project. Copy the old project and paste into the new project. Export a short test and if it exports. export the full project. If that doesn't work…
Create a new user account.
Good luck.
