Error when rendering illegal file name

I appreciate any help. I am trying to finish a video and I have three clips in the video sequence that won't render. The message I get is "illegal file name, unable to render". I tried renaming the clip; saving the project under a different name; replacing the clip; overwriting the clip; shutting down the program; shutting down the computer. I have searched the manual and the discussion forums and have not been able to figure this out.
This is not the first video I've edited - am using final cut express.. iMAC WITH OS -X 10.6.1
Again, appreciate any assistance. Renee

Thank you all for helping me with this! I am using FCE 4.0.1 IMAC 24" 3.06SD/ intel core 2 DUO Machine is only 2 months old/ came with all software preinstalled. Video is taken on JVC Everio in MOD format and converted to MOV by Iverio convertmod program (which I installed). The video file permission is "you can read and write". The file itself is one clip - it is from the funeral service from my Mom's funeral and all I wanted to do is take out some of the dead space/ insert some video transistions/ and burn the video for relatives that were unable to attend. I am wondering if it has something to do with the fact that it is one clip that I have spliced into several clips. The file name is 2009-07-14 09h16mn16s.MOV When I rendered most of the clips that I spliced and added the transistions to, they rendered fine, but the last three spliced clips keep giving me the error reading "file error ..illegal name" When I try renaming just that spliced clip - it changes the name on all the clips in the timeline (including the previous rendered clips. I know I'm probably not thinking as clearly being that this video is a bit more emotional to me than the others I've worked with, but other than the fact that it is my mom's funeral - the only other difference is in the other video's I've done - each clip has a specific name (and maybe are 5-7 minutes long - and not just one long 52 minute clip that I'm splicing)
Again, I appreciate any help - I'm about ready to scrap the whole thing and start from the beginning -

  • Error when uploading; the file name is invalid, or the file is too big

    Hi, I have posted this topic also in this thread, but we are not getting any answer to this problem. Also, the existing discussion in this thread gives us no idea what to do.
    We get the a.m. message when using the "FILE-UPLOAD" UI element only for selected users and for these only in IE8 and not in Firefox.
    So we believe that the cause for the error is likely on the client side, especially in some IE settings.
    Is there any advice available what to look for and where to check?
    Thanks in advance,
    M. Büttner

  • Hi, error message: "illegal file name" when exporting a .mov file in final cut 7.

    why I got this error message? I used this name before and wish to save it after some editing. System asked me "do I want to replace it?", I answered 'yes', then "illegal file name came up?"
    It accepted it the first time, why I got this name the second time ?
    Please help. thanks.

    Can't say why but it happens; maybe a bug. (If it is we know it will never be fixed.) Anyway, it's not a bad practice to use "save as" – appending the date, or some other code to be able to track versions.
    Good luck.

  • Error when rendering! Desperately in need of help!

    Just out of nowhere I´m getting this error when rendering in a ProRes project:
    "Codec not found. You may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card"
    I have done nothing with my setup and have never had problems with this before. What can I do to fix this?

    I started getting this error after exporting prores 422 (and 422 HQ) files from AE and dropping them into FCP. It happened a couple of days ago, right after I updated to QT 7.6.2. i checked out the details on the QT update and the update seems to focus on prores 422 functionality. so i think your theory about this having something to do with the update is spot on.
    my solution was to export out of AE using photo-jpeg. it's pretty close to identical on the visual and color correctable if not. this project has the flexibility for this type of codec switch since everything originates in AE -- you may not have that flexibility.

  • Error message "A duplicate file name was specified"

    Every time I open iTunes or attempt to make a purchase, I get the error message "A duplicate file name was specificed. There was an error in the iTunes Stores. Please try again later."
    It started when I tried to download a book a few days ago.
    I do not have any plugins installed, so there are none to remove/disable. I'm running the most recent version of iTunes (11.0.5) for Windows 7 (64-bit). I tried clearing the iTunes cache to no avail.

    Try and unchecking Manually manage music and videos on the summary page in iTunes. To get there, just go to ____'s iPod, scroll down, and it should be there. You can then check any other boxes (or uncheck) that you think might help you. That box might have automatically checked itself after the update. Also, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes by going to the apple in the top left hand corner, and clicking software update.

  • An FTP error occurred - cannot put [file name.htm]. Dreamweaver encountered an internal data error

    I get the message “Server not responding” whenever trying to add files to my web site via DW. The following message appears: "An FTP error occurred - cannot put [file name.htm]. Dreamweaver encountered an internal data error. Please try the operation again." 
    I called the hosting service provider, and they said they were able to upload a 20 mb document with no problem. I was also able to upload a document using Filezilla.
    Therefore, the problem must be with DW.
    When I go to Manage Sites and choose my site and get to the Test Connection button, the test is successful, which further confuses the issue.
    Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

    It is possible it is a host issue but because they use a higher level account to test that they do not see the error.

  • Error when determining the PSA name

    I am on BW3.5, trying to load a delta that has been loading for 2+ years with no problems.  The load today is getting the error message:  "RSAODS 132 Error when determining the PSA name"
    I've looked in OSS Notes and there is nothing with this error message.  This is CCA Actual data that loads to PSA > ODS > Cube.  The PSA load is red and the entry in the ODS is also red.  Thanks

  • Error when publishing to file

    i keep getting "an unknown error" when publishing to file or publishing all to mobileme...
    It still works if i just publish to mobileme.
    Any ideas?
    Im trying to get my site going on go daddy, and kinda really need it in a folder...

    If you are still getting the error then its likely that you have a corrupt domain file.
    To prove this, quit iWeb, create a new folder on your desktop and drag your domain file out of - Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb - into this.
    Relaunch iWeb to force it to create a new domain file, add some content and try publishing to a folder.
    If this works, your original file is corrupt.

  • An illegal file name cause FileUpload element timeout.

    I can use Fileupload UI Element of Web Dynpro Abap to upload files with no problem.
    But if I type some illegal file name(like 'asdf' ) in the inputfield before the 'browser' button,and click some other button which will fire an action to refresh this screen, a loading popup view appears and won't give any response.
    Is it a bug or something i did wrong?
