Avoiding system sleep during export in FCPx 10.1

Hi There -
I'm using a Mac Pro 6,1 (late 2013) and Mavericks 10.9.2.  I set a 10 minute 1080p movie to export, left my desk for 20 minutes, and when I came back, the computer had gone to sleep with 95% of the movie exported.  I sat for another 10 minutes and the movie would not finish exporting.
I would like to change the settings on my computer to prevent the Mac Pro from sleeping when it is doing a key Final Cut Pro X task like rendering or exporting.
After doing some research, I'm going to switch on "Prevent App Nap" under get info for Final Cut Pro X.  I'm posting here to see if anyone has any other experience or suggestions!
Thanks,
Justin

"Prevent App Nap" should always be checked for FCP X, so that is a good move.
HOWEVER, this will NOT prevent your mac from going to sleep.
You need to go to System Preferences->Energy Saver and change the settings for "Computer Sleep".
If in doubt, set it to "Never".

  • System Sleep During iTunes Play

    Why doesn't iTunes override my system sleep settings when it's playing music? When iTunes plays videos, the computer stays awake regardless of sleep settings; why won't it stay awake when playing music?

  • Stitch lines created in a PDF/X-1a due to transparency flattening during export from InDesign

    Has there been any sure fire methods to avoid the digital stitch lines created in a PDF/X-1a due to transparency flattening during export from InDesign? If I attempt to edit the PDF using the Acrobat Edit Text and Graphics tool the PDF is actually carved into sectors and images are not selectable as a whole. Also contrary to what I have read those white lines do indeed image from time to time. I could export as PDF/X4 to preserve the transparency but on occasion it would be advantageous to flatten it before supplying to the printer. Currently using CC and have done the usual things in an attempt to avoid the lines such as all text above transparent objects on a separate layer and 'Clip-Complex-Region' on export.
    Thanks in Advance!

    If the default High Res flattener preset is stitching make a custom preset that's all rasters and use it in the advanced tab of the PDF/X-1a preset

  • 100% CPU Usage in CS5.5 Premiere Pro during export/encoding

    I am wondering why my CPU usage is so high during exporting of my videos.  My counter shoots up to 100% as soon as I start and hovers at 95% throughout the whole process.  This seems dangerous to me so I wanted to bring it up here as I haven't found anyone with this same issue on this website or google.  Here are my system specs:
    i5-2400 CPU @3.10GHz
    6 GB of Ram
    64 bit windows 7
    Geforce 660 ti graphics card (2gb)
    They aren't top of the line but I feel like it should be capable of encoding.  I've cleaned my fans and tried using avi and h.264 formats which both led to the same issues.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I'm new to premiere pro so I'm sure I left some useful information out above.

    "...the same results"
    This means high CPU usage, right?
    Correct
    Are your exported media files ok?
    I've only completed one because I was freaked out but yes they are fine.
    I guess the thing I'm worried about is my temps going up really high because of the 100% usage.  I thought that they were both entertwined as in high usage = high temps.  I'll look for a temperature program to run while encoding and I'll monitor how high the temps get.  You've given me hope here as I may have been making mountains out of mole hills.  If the temperatures are high would you recommend more fans in my desktop?

  • MBP 2010 goes to sleep during login

    I cannot boot up by MBP. It starts with the gray screen and the apple. The baton spins around a while, then the display goes to black, not suddenly, but a quick fade. Sometimes it then comes up again with the gray screen and the cursor in the corner. But then it goes back to black.
    The computer is unresponsive - caps lock does not respond. Looks like it is asleep - white light is pulsing, battery meter shows full, charger is charging.
    I have hard shut the computer many times. Occasionally, it will show a flash of a screen before shutting, and the screen is the waking from hibernation, like when you wake the computer after the battery is low and the computer shuts down by itself. But it is fleeting and the battery meter shows fully charged.
    I have a feeling therefore that it is going to sleep during the login process.
    I have tried PRAM and SRC reset - no change.
    I have tried to boot in safe mode, and it also goes to the black screen.

    Hey Frederic
    The next step is to boot to your install disk or Recovery Disk and use Disk Utility to verify the Disk. After that the next step would be to reinstall the operating system.

  • Problems exporting from FCPX

    I can not export from FCPX. Get stuck on 95% and I give up after 45 min. It´s about 15 min fotage that I tried to export in Apple TV3 format.

    I've had this issue weekly with a show I produce.  It bugs me for hours.  In my case, I have to wait until the entire timeline is rendered, and then I have to export it to ProRes 422.  Any other codec requires a re-render, which provokes the problem again.  The problem starts when I take a few clips from my P2 and use the stability function along with any color correction topping them off with titles.  It seems as though part of the rendering process involves re-analyzing the entire clip during rendering, and if I don't allow it to completely render the clips, I get missing video with graphics on top.  I have a 12-core machine with 16GB RAM, and yet it still takes about two hours to render my 30 minute show after I'm done.  This doesn't include the hours it takes to analyze the P2 clips as I import them, which also hinders me during editing and causes continual crashes.  I'm hoping this new update I'm about to run addresses some of those issues.

  • DRM Batch Client error during export

    Hello,
    I am experiencing an error when using the DRM Batch Client to execute export books. The same export process fails sometimes and runs to completion successfully at other times. When it fails, it does not always fail in the same place within the export process, and the error is as follows:
    2/2/2011 8:31:40 PM - ERemotableException with message: "Server was unable to process request. ---> Error during Export. Export was unable to run. Error: Timeout expired" while running Export Book
    2/2/2011 8:31:40 PM - => ERROR: Data Relationship Management Server returned error: "Server was unable to process request. ---> Error during Export. Export was unable to run. Error: Timeout expired."
    2/2/2011 8:31:40 PM - *** MDMConnect stopping ***
    Because this issue is sporadic, it seems like there could be a few possible causes:
    1. Network issues
    2. SQL connection/time-out issues -- These particular exports are writing to SQL tables versus flat files
    3. Am wondering if there are any known issues with the MDMConnect? Or are there time-out settings we can adjust?
    We currently have our in-house IT chasing down any possible network or SQL issues. Does anyone know of any issues with the batch client, or have ideas on any other possible causes? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
    EJ

    There is a timeout setting in DRM system preferences and there are mulitlple session timeout settings in IIS that you may need to configure. Try the system preference first. For very large jobs, ie. hundreds of thousands of nodes with hundreds of properties per node, you'll need to update settings in IIS as well.

  • Os x 10.7.3 MacBook pro sleeps during iTunes playback

    Hi since updating to 10.7.3 my MacBook Pro seems to go to sleep during iTunes playback and apple tv viewing. I've changes the sleep setting to 3hrs andinstalled "jiggle" which doesn't seem to work and to be honest it doesn't seem right to a) have to install a 3rd party app to beat the system b) be good for the expensive device to remain on....
    Any suggestions as to what is wrong and what  I can do?

    Hello DeniWilco,
    Since you can isolate when the issue happened the first thing to consider is doing a system restore to a time before the issue happened.
    Can you reproduce this same issue while in safe mode?
