Error when exporting from FCP

When I try and export to Compressor(1.2.1) from FCP HD 4.5 i get an error saying that a file of this name already exists (obviously not the case). The Batch then fails within 5 secs or so. Could this be a restriction on the academic version of fcp or something - ie one can only export a project x many times or something? i've seen the related string but turning off anti-virus software doesn't seem to help me at all. any ideas?
also - I can export as a self containded qt file but even if I do it at the highest settings the finished dvd (made using dvd studio4) doesn't look as good as an old dvd i have that was encoded by exporting to comp. from fcp. is it just my eyes having seen the video so many times that i am seeing things or has anyone else noticed this?

there's also reports of incompatibility with compressor3:

XL-H1 aspect ratio error when exporting from FCP 1080p24 to compressor

PLEASE HELP
I have a finished project in fcp in a 1080p24 project.
My source footage is 1440 x 1080i 24f from an xl-h1.
When i export from final cut pro to compressor, compressor squeezes my footage into a square.
if i export to dvd from compressor the ratio is fine.
when i export in quicktime thats where the skewed image happens.
Please help
thanks

Hi StingoArmy,
There is an easy fix for this. Once you export your file to Compressor, you can apply an export option, let's say we're going to export a LAN Streaming Quicktime movie for Internet. Now click on the new bar that's been placed inside your media tab. The settings for this export item appear below in the Inspector. Just below the DESCRIPTION line are a series of options buttons. Clicking the option 2nd from the right (Geometry) opens up a new tab where you can change the dimensions. There are several ways to go about exporting to 16:9, the one I use is to change the Frame Size to "Custom (16:9)", however, you can also do the same thing by changing the Pixel Aspect to "HDV 1080i (16:9)" You should test results for both and see which is the preferred method for your final output, depending on what type of Quicktime movie you are creating.

QuickTime error when exporting from FCP 4.5 - Compressor

I'm still on Final Cut Pro 4.5, waiting to get money for a hardware upgrade before I can move to FCP 6, etc.
I have upgraded to QuickTime Pro 7.2.
This setup worked fine until today.
I selected a sequence in FCP and tried to Export to Compressor (the source material was NTSC MiniDV video footage in FCP) using an MPEG-4 Fast Cable Streaming 320x240 export setting. I used this setting successfully to export a very similar project only last week. This evening when I tried exporting via Compressor the attempt failed, and Batch Monitor's log noted a "QuickTime Error -50". I tried this repeatedly this evening, and it produced the same results even after restarting the machine.
I'm baffled by this. I had no such problem last week.
Any clues?

Significant quality loss and jagged diagonal lines when exporting from FCP

I've been working on this problem for several days and I'm going insane! Every time I export my movie from Final Cut, there is a significant quality loss. It is most noticeable in two ways: diagonal lines become very jagged (looking somewhat like diagonal lines in an older video game -- more a diagonal sequence of blocks); also, in some areas such as faces, the colors get a little blurry and there seems to some "pooling" of colors around the edges of the face.
I'm pretty sure the problem's not in capture: the Quicktime clips that I captured from the camera are all pristine. When I play them in Quicktime, I can blow them up several times their original size, and they maintain their sharp lines. (I also Reverse Telecined them all with Cinema Tools, if that's relevant.) I also know the problem's not just my computer monitor; when I play these movies on my external monitor and TV, they look bad too. The clips look bad after I bring them into Final Cut, and while I'm editing, but at first I figured that was because Final Cut sometimes doesn't show full resolution in the timeline. Still, when I export, the quality of the original captures just isn't there.
Some details:
Captured from 24A progressive, Sony HVR V1U HDV.
Using Final Cut 6.0.1, Compressor 3.0.1, Quicktime 7.2.0, OS 10.4.10 (all the most recent versions I believe).
I've exported in many different ways: using Compressor (and have tried a number of different settings: the DVD Best Quality 90 Minutes default Setting, as well as using a variety of bit rates from 3.0-8.0, One pass CBR, Two pass CBR, Two pass VBR, Two pass VBR best; Video Formats NTSC, HD 1440x1080...I have tried many combinations. Regardless of the size of the m2v created, the files seem to have the same problem over and over. I've also tried exporting from Final Cut as a Quicktime Movie and with Quicktime Conversion. Same result. I also tried using different compressors with my Final Cut sequence: Apple Intermediate Codec (which I used when capturing -- you have to with the Sony HVR), HDV 1080p24, HDV 1080i60, Apple Pro Res 422, H.264...
What's happening? Why is Final Cut turning my nice pristine captures into jagged foulness? What can I try that I haven't yet?

Welcome to the forums!
Unfortunately, you seem to have tried everything I can think of, and I don't have the latest versions of FCP to know if it is a bug. However, in the off chance that you haven't given this a shot:
Take a problematic 10 second section of your timeline (set in and out points) and the Export -> Quicktime (not QT Conversion) and make sure that you have it on Quality settings that you captured, and select the "Make Self Contained" box.
Look at that in Quicktime and see if it's bad. If it's not problematic, use that video file in Compressor for your render.
Hope that helps!

Error when exporting from Quicktime Pro

I don't really like how any of the Adobe products export H.264 .mov files so my normal workflow that I've been doing for years is to export as a high quality MPEG4 and then open it in Quicktime and export as H.264 from there. I went to do this today and it gave me this error message "Export Controller has stopped working". When I click OK on that it gives me this error in the progress window:
http://screencast.com/t/N2ZjNjcz
I've tried this with multiple videos and got the same thing, as a test I tried exporting as MPEG4 and I got a similar error (different code). As I was typing this I tried Export For Web and got the same error. Any idea how to fix this?

There's another thread here discussing the same error message, though not in exactly the same circumstance:

Perhaps something in that thread will help you.
Good luck.

My Additive dissolves lose their brightness when exported from FCP.

I'm trying to export a short music from FCP. While the additive dissolves look really bright, like a camera flash within final cut pro, as soon as I export the video, the bright white flash of the dissolve goes away. I don't want to use dip to color, because I like the cross dissolve quality of the additive. Does anyone know why and how to prevent this?
Thank you.

Apparently he did a reinstall and it started working...

How does a 1.6-gig clip become an 11-gig clip when exported from FCP?

I captured some video and had to do it in two sessions because my camera kept dropping frames. My first clip was 600 megs, my second was 1 gig. I put them into the timeline and synced them up at the break spot. I wanted to have just one file to work on in Shake, so I exported the two clips as a Quick Time movie -- no compression, self-contained -- a 720 X 480 NTSC file.
Even with no compression, I expected to get a 1.6-gig movie out of the export, but it was 11 gigs. Where did the extra data come from? And what is the extra data? It cannot get any more resolution than there was to begin with in the original two clips, right?
Any tips on a more efficient way to handle this situation much appreciated.

The two segments were each about three and a half minutes long. The camera was a Sony Handycam DV. I did not have any special settings when I captured, I made one choice, to capture both video and audio. Yes, I did select uncompressed when I exported.
So the camera is acquiring with a codec, it sounds like, but if I select uncompressed on export does that mean FCP will uncompress the compressed footage captured by the camera? I did not think that was possible. Isn't all the information thrown away by the camera when it acquires the footage with its codec?
I was thinking that "uncompressed" export would just give me back what I put in, a 1.6-gig file. I did not want to compress a second time.
Is there an export format choice that just gives you what you had without any manipulation of the original data?

Do I get a faulty EDL when exporting from FCP?

I must create an EDL for a final DI to be made from film negative. When I export an EDL the Source Time Code In of each clip reads the same as the first frame in the clip, then the Source Time Code Out of each clip reads on frame higher than the last frame in that clip. E.g. if one clip ends on a frame with the timecode 02:00:15:01, the EDL out point reads 02:00:15:02.
Is this wrong? and if so does anybody know what the promblem could be?
the film is shot on 25 frames per second and the telecined to Pal dv tapes that run 25 frames per second, so that should not be a problem.

No, that's not a problem, it's just a difference in the way FCP reports timecode numbers and the way EDLs expect timecode to be.

-108 Error on Export from FCP X Trial

So I'm trying to export movie so I can make a test DVD (using other programs, of course, to make it properly anamorphic SD & add chapter markers), but near the end of the export I get the following error: The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when encoding frame 77233 (error -108).
Doing the math, as I can't find a way to show frame numbers, this seems to be near the end of my timeline, but NOT the very end, and there doesn't seem to be anything special going on there. Have trashed preferences, etc. and restarted, get the same message. Have exported parts of this before without trouble. Haven't seen anyone else with this error number so just curious, and of course annoyed. I am using the latest trial version, debating whether to pay to move from FCS 3. Not impressed with the instability.

I'm having the same issue happen time after time after updating to the Maverick operating system, and particularly I'm working on exporting an hour and 20 minute movie right now that continue to get the same error everytime.
In preferences, under editing you can change the display to frames instead of the timecode. However when I go to the frame that it errored on, nothing's wrong with the clip. It was right in the middle of a transition, so I deleted the thing and applied another transition, and nothing.
I even tried what you should try. And that is copying the entire timeline into a new fresh timeline and then export. It SHOULD work, but it isn't working for me. About to throw my 27" in the trash.

CODEC Error when exporting from Timeline solution

This is a stupid mistake, but when I was just in Final Cut Pro 7 trying to "Export Using Quicktime Conversion" I got a "CODEC Error" message and couldn't export. I tried changing the CODEC in my Sequence Settings, still got the error, I started freaking out thinking I had to delete the preference files; but I suddenly realized I had the "In" marker at the end of the video on the Timeline.
Solution: "Clear IN and OUT" markers on the Timeline (right-click on Timeline, Clear In and Out).
Check the simple things first! lol

Or...don't choose QUICKTIME CONVERSION, as that will recompress your sequence and footage...even if you choose the same codec. Try Quicktime Movie, self contain as an option.

Scaling Error when exporting from Illustrator CS to AutoCad 2002

When I export an Illustrator CS file to AutoCad 2002, I end up with a part that need to be scaled down by .03937 to be 1:1 in AutoCad. I changed my preferences to inches on all units and still have this problem. What setting do I need to change to have this convert straight to AutoCad without secondary operations.

Hey, guys,
Thanks so much for the responses. I discovered that one of the issues was that my browser window was set to 125%, causing things to appear a bit blurry. However, I'm still having issues with the "save for web" window. It seems like the left side (the original) should look exactly like what's on my artboard, but as you can see from this screenshot, it's blurry when I zoom up (Both the artboard and save for web window are at 300%). I have the text on the right set to gif, but it still looks the same as the "original" on the left. Shouldn't my orignal in the save for web window look exactly like the text on the artboard? Would this be affecting the files I'm exporting? Thanks so much for the help!

Error when exporting from premiere pro CS6

I have been using PP CS6 since launch date- and have had none stop problems with exporting, I cant dynamic link, add to render ques or simply export straight from PP!
When i Que my project it will export up until half way and then freeze, i've tried changing the clip, removing effects, everything!
has anyone encounted this problem before?
This is happening with more then just this one project aswell.
These are old projects that were originally created in CS5, could that be causing it?

Thats what i thought!
All earlier projects open, i can edit, manipulate it! do the works! However when it comes to export time! i can't export it to anything! whats the point?!?!
Im really angry, when you pay for something you expect it to do what it was designed to do! and the fact i can't export at all is really really frustrating!
