Export from FCPX to Compressor 4 Failed - Quick time Error:-50

Hi all,
Having some trouble exporting a large video (1080p, about 5 gb) after using the Share>send to compressor option. Footage was shot with a Canon Ti3, and exported fine by itself to an .mov, but when sent to compressor I get the above error.
I have so far done the following:
trashed FCPX and Compressor 4 prefs
checked for updates
deleted the projects render files and rerendered
Any ideas? Screen shot below.

There have been many reports of QT- 50 errors on export at FCPX forum.
This may sound as though I'm changing the subject, but why not bring your exported movie into Compressor? It's always been a more reliable workflow than Send-to Compressor going back to the FCS days.
If you are committed to the Send workflow, try creating a new project and copy and paste from the old project to the new.

Error message "Share failed quick time error -50" How to fix this problem?

I cannot export to a .mp4 file using compressor without getting an error message "Share failed Quick Time Error -50. How can I get around this problem?

Specifically, how are you exporting to mp4? For example, using the Share menu…and if so, which of the presets?

Compressor Quick Time error: 0

I was sending a sequence from FCP7 to Compressor, but kept getting Failed Quick Time error : 0. Went back to the time line in FCP7 tried to render the sequence but it failed too, after sometime I narrowed down the clip with the problem and found there were frames missing or shifting( not sure what they were doing, take a look at the screen shot you can see right at her shoulders a split screen effect) and a few frames latter the audio dropped out. Here are some screen shots of what it looked like. Because it would render the audio I just cut out the effected video and replaced it with some B- roll and it worked.

no any audio mp3

When I try and Share (export) a project, I get a Quick Time Error -50 Any Ideas? Apple Care is scratching their heads.

Okay, after several hours on the phone w/ Apple Care includiing nearly 10 hours on Wednesday, we finally figured out why I would get a Quicktime Error -50 when I tried to share a project out of FCP X. The problem was in the music track that I had in the project. I ripped a track from an audio CD, put in my iTunes then imported into the FCP timeline just as Apple says to do.
The problem is; iTunes default rippping codec is AAC. FCPX can't handle AAC compression. I had to re-rip the audio CD to a uncomressed AIFF file, bring that back into my project and then FCPX could share the file and do it's own copression.
This was a new discovery for Apple and FCPX.

Problem exporting from FCP using compressor

Out of the blue - I'm getting batch failures trying to export from FCP for use in a DVD. Immediately after selecting compressor for export, I get an error reading "That file already exists", and a new tab appears in the media browser with a lengthy character string. Compressor opens fine, and I select Best Quality 4:3 encoding for video and aiff48 for audio. When the batch is submitted - it promptly fails and blames FCP for generating an error.
Did all kinds of restarts and work arounds to no avail. The promising news is that this error seems to occur only when exporting from FCP through Compressor.
My work-around is to export a QT movie of the piece, quit FCP, launch Compressor, and then import the QT for batching.
Hope this helps anyone else in similar situations

Hi:
How long is your movie?
The best workflow is FCP > Compressor > DVDSP.
You can encode your timeline directly to get MPEG2 video and Dolby 2 (AC3) audio files. Then import those in DVDSP and author your DVD.
Using Compressor you control the full encoding process. You can test with small parts of your movie (those where you got problems with iDVD) and find the best encoding options fopr your footage.
Of course the DVDSP learning curve is longer than iDVD but once you learned ir you probably never go back. Like iMovie and FCP.
To give you detailed info about what encoding settings to use you must post some info about your FCP project.
Hope that helps !

No optical flow going from FCPX to Compressor

Using Compressor 4.1.3 and FCPX 10.1.4. When I export a project from FCPX to Compressor, and the project has some clips with Optical Flow, Compressor does not render those clips using Optical Flow. Using "Apple Devices HD (Best Quality)" setting.
I searched for similar questions, both here and in the FCPX forum, and didn't find any similar questions, which leads me to believe that either I don't know how to search properly, or I must be missing something obvious.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Your experience matches what others have reported. Alternatively you could export a master file and bring that into Compressor to apply your settings. In other words, skip the Send to Compressor workflow altogether. Or export directly with ATV settings from FCP X

The requirements have changed a bit since the first version two and half years ago. It's also possible the software was simply copied onto the machine without being downloaded from the App Store.

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.

I upgraded to iphone 4. When sync to comp. Comp. asked to upgrade. I did. I tried to open itunes and it failed. Quick Time error 2096. I went through severals procedures. Finally could open itune. Pluged phone in comp it will charge but wont sync

I upgraded t iphone 4. When I sync to computer. I was asked to upgrade itunes, I did. When I tried to open itunes a Quick Time Error 2069 occured. I went through several procudures. Finally I could open itunes. When I pluged in the phone, it would charge but not sync. What now?

update...
I am not one to give up. So I called AT&T today. Now they are telling me they canceled my order because they were unable to fulfill my order. Basically, AT&T told me they sold out so they canceled my order so I can proceed to reorder again. It took them 4 days to realize this. I will be lucky if I get a new phone by Christmas. I am sure they will find a way to cancel my order again.
Again, I argued, how is this my fault. I placed my order at the store around 11 a.m. Pacific time. My friend ordered his phone online sometime after me. He got his but my order was canceled. AT&T tried to explain to me that they sold over 600,000 phones, almost 500 per minute during there peak. Again, I asked, how this was my fault.
I can understand over selling the phone. It is a great product. There is no reason to cancel my order. You adjust my order and tell me you will let me know when my phone will be in. I would have been mad that my phone was going to be late but I would have survived. At least I would be getting one.
At this point, I have no order and AT&T or Apple website will allow me to order one. I just want to get in the QUEUE for one.
Frustrated.

Quick time error "a file could not be found"

Quick time error "a file could not be found" when trying to open a file that exist in a directory name including hebrew characters.
When copying the same file to other directory with english characters only, file opens without any problem.
This is very frustrating since my files are located under My documents directory
The full path of the "My Document" directory is:
C:\Documents and Settings\אלון\My Documents.
Also, I have IPOD 5G (with video). iTunes does not have any problems with audio files located under the above directory, but video files for my IPOD have the same problem (since probably it is using Quick time). The problem with iTunes is more frustrating since it does not report any error, but you just cant update video podcasts or add video files to library.
I spent a few days to uderstand this.

This is a old post from when I had recieved the Error-43 file could not be found. In my case I had a drive lettered F:\ F:\ when changing the drive to a single letter F:\ it resolved the problem, so something you might want to take a look at.

Do you see the problem if you turn off Compatibility Mode for QuickTime?
Right-click on the QuickTimePlayer application (located in C:\Program Files\QuickTime) and choose Properties from the shortcut menu.
In the Properties window, click the Compatibility tab
Deselect all checkboxes currently selected in the Compatibility tab.
Click Apply.
Close the Properties window.

HT203477 I've been trying to burn a DVD edited with FCP_X. I keep getting a "Quick Time Error 0" and my DVD doesn't burn. Why!

I have been getting a "Quick Time Error 0" when I try to burn a DVD even when using a dual layer DVD. The total length is only 2.5 hours long! I've been trying to burn this DVD for 2 months.

Can you tell us how and what does the burn.
Step be step is useful.

I can not export Flash animations successfully as a Quick Time Video. Please Help...

Hello there,
I have been trying to both publish and export a Flash
animation from a native Flash file as a Quicktime .mov file. I am
using Flash 8 and have Quicktime 7.1.3 installed on my Mac running
OSX 10.4.8 - I get an error message every time I try to publish the
animation as Quicktime saying "An error occurred because a required
Quick Time component could not be found." My Quick Time program
works perfectly in all other programs. I tried it on another
computer and got the same error. I tried several different settings
and worked through the Flash Help Guide with no luck.
I also tried to do File / Export / Export Movie / Quick Time
Video. When I use this option it does successfully complete an
export but Quicktime file ".mov" has missing graphics and no sound
from the original Flash animation. Can you help me please. I need
to import this animation in a Keynote presentation ultimately.
Thank you.

Thanks Nickels55 - beat me to that ink :)
Also - try setting publish settings to flash player 5 - you
may lose some flash 8 features if you
are using any.
Personally - I find the best solution is SWF2Video
(www.flashants.com) but I am afraid there's no
Mac version (i think).
Usually Macs are better than PCs when it comes to export to
quicktime because you have the option of
choosing quicktime video - but make sure, if you are
exporting to a true video (fixed frame rate)
format you do not use movie clips or actionscript at all
(convert all movie clips to graphic or
place on main timeline).
