Export to quicktime error

hi all
did anybody get an error msg:
"Error compiling movie. Unable to create or open output file."
when exporting a movie in premiere pro cs3 to Quicktime??
why is it happening? in PPRO 2.0 it used to work all right!

I had this error message when exporting to a raid array on my network (A mapped drive) when I exported the same file/same settings to a USB drive it worked just find, as well as my internals, but that mapped drive...gave me grief.
Just a thought. Try exporting it to another drive.

Exporting FCP quicktime error -50

hi i want to export a 9 minutes video with FCP. while exporting, suddenly an error was occurred "final cut pro has failed quicktime error -50" , the statement probably like this.
i've searched on internet about this bug (quicktime error -50) but i couldn't find solution
thank you very much.
any response will help .

One thing that seems to solve a lot of these export problems in 10,9 is this: right click on the FCPX app file and choose Get Info. Check the box next to Prevent App Nap. You may have to close and re-launch FCP for it to take efffect.

Will Not Export To Quicktime Error -1

Keynote has worked exporting to Quicktime perfectly in the past, but now says i don't have enough memory to export to Quicktime with an error or -1.
Just had plain text with me doing voiceover for about 20 minutes.
Have done it before with no problems.
I tried going to Library and removing the preferences for Keynote thinking maybe something got corrupted, but no dice.
Any help would be appreciated!

Was able to export after rebooting.

Export fails, quicktime error -50

fcpx will not export my project to the media browser or other devices. it starts to then comes up with a quicktime error -50. i did export a quicktime movie using media export but it loses sound a few minutes in and the video keeps playing.

code: Quicktime Error -50.
error: -50 is the paramErr or error in the user parameter list. I.e., a parameter that you are sending to the procedure is missing or the parameter is unacceptable for one reason or another. E.g., a missing path element, filename with an unacceptable character, a destination target that is non-existant, a target prodecure expecting data that is not included in the file, etc.

Exporting to quicktime & error

2 questions:
I have a 95-minute FCP project, which I broke into two parts, and the first 50-min part still tops out at over 11 GB when I export Quicktime movie. I do want the best possible resolution for my purposes.
Do I need to break it down to 20-minute segments in order to get the best res onto 4.7GB DVD-Rs?
Anyway, that's what I've set about doing (although I'd hoped 5 DVD changes wouldn't be needed to view the entire thing.)
Issue 2: On my second 20-minute segment I got the following error from iDVD:
"There was an error during rendering/encoding of the menus/slideshows. Burning process aborted."
Any thoughts on what this might be? If there's a corrupt file, how do I riddle it out?
Thanks for any help.

Are you trying to burn a DVD that will play on consumer DVD players? If so, then you don't worry about the file sizes the way you are. With iDVD, you simply export a self contained quicktime movie with sequence settings, import that into iDVD and it will encode it for proper playback.

Can't export to quicktime, error -8961

I've been trying to export a presentation in keynote to quicktime but it says I don't have enough disk space or there was a problem withe the file, error - 8961. I've try deleting every slide, I even tried exporting an empty presentation but I keep getting the same error (I have like 30 GB of free disk space so I fugured that wasn't the problem). Could someone please tell me what's wrong? I think I've made the problem worse because, trying to fix this, I deleted Quicktime to try an re-install it, thinking maybe that was the problem, and when I tried to install it again it says I already have quicktime in my computer, but I deleted every single file with "quikctime" on it

Thanks for the response.
On my G4 I am using 10.04.11 and it works just fine with my FCP 5. The G 5 that I am having trouble with FCP 5 is Snow Leopard. I figured that the Snow Leopard OS was probably the problem along with Quicktime 10. And you have confirmed that.
Looks like I will have to purchase a newer version of FCP for the G 5 and use my FCP 5 on my old G 4. Thank you apple.
Thanks for your input.

IMovie '09: Export to Quicktime: Error -108

I've been trying to export a movie - just over an hour long, primarily photos - to Quicktime. I was using the Apple Codec now I'm trying the MPEG-4 setting, with the HD 190X1080 16:9 size and 48,000KHz audio.
Every single time I try I get the "error code -108" message - not enough RAM. However I'm using a 24" iMac with 4GB.
I have NO ideas what-so-ever can some please point me in the right direction?
I'm running Snow Leopard - I've restarted the machine, repaired the permissions, the only thing I can imagine it's related to is that some of the material (music) is running off of an external hard-drive. Please? Some one help!

I would suggest trying it at 960x540. That will cut down the size by a factor of 4 and may let it fit in the RAM. This size upscales very nicely on most TVs because it is a simple transform to go to 1920x1080.
If that does not work, you may need to split your movie into shorter pieces.
What is your final destination? BluRay?

IMovie Export to QuickTime Error 2002

Hi, I am trying to export a project through the QuickTime option in >Share but every time after hte completion of the export, I get this error message 2002 (I think it was 2002 - I stupidly dismissed the window before seeing the number).
Anyone has any idea what's wrong? I export seamlessly to iTunes though.

I've seen the same error reported earlier tonight on this forum. Error -50 is a user parameter error and is likely associated with trying to write illegal characters to a non HFS formatted disk, would this make any sense to you in your present workflow.
Actually I see your error is a 50 (not a -50) or is that a typo. That's a networking error, which doesn't make any sense to me at all unless you are trying to write to a network device which has been removed and I was of the opinion im08 doesn't work over a network, indeed doesn't even give the option to try.

IMovie export to quicktime error 50

Sharing my quicktime project returns an error message and won't continue.
Firstly, I'm told an event won't run, but will appear as black. The event is called 'Desktop' and I haven't the foggiest where any such event is located ..
Then it tells me that there was an error type 50 and it won't continue.
I can share to itunes, but I want a quicktime format to upload to icompositions ..
Sending to Youtube gives me the same mysterious desktop reference, but it still uploads ..

Error code = -50 every time I try and publish or export (except Quicktime)

When I try and do any kind of publish or export (other than "Export using Quicktime") it will say "preparing" then will immediately go to a dialog that says:
Unable to prepare the project for publishing. The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (Error code = -50)
I have no idea what next.
Thanks,

Configuration error 16 | CC, CS

In attempt to burn blu-ray, I get QuickTime error 0. Takes hours to export a 7 minute movie from timeline, then get notice it fails. What's going on here?

New problem just started 24 hours ago. When I try to export from the time line to create a QuickTime file, a 7 minute movie on time line takes 3 hours to export and then the export fails, where as a few days ago, that export would take about 10 minutes at most. I get the same failure notice when I try to share to blu-ray, DVD, or Vimeo. Tried to use compressor, no such luck as compressor failed to make a .mov file. I get QuickTime error 0 message about 5 minutes into trying to share to Blu-Ray now. Does anyone know what is going on here? I'm running latest update of Snow Leopard on an intel Mac Pro and the latest update to Final Cut Pro X. I've also installed QT 7.6.6 to use in creating time lapse movie files.

Same problem here, too. Final Cut Pro X 10.0.3 on OS 10.6.8. However, it is only doing it on ONE of my projects. A 4-second test project burned successfully.
I'm actually going to use iDVD to burn copies for a few people, so I only need the movie file from FCPX.
Would someone please post best export settings for use on a DVD? In FCPX, the project is in HD (1080p) with all media optimized to ProRes 442. I know it will have to be down-sampled to DVD resolution, but I've always been curious to know what settings will result produce the best possible quality in DVD resolution.
Thank you!
Bart

First try exporting a self-contained movie from FCP, the using the resulting file in Compressor. To do it, go to File->Export->QuickTime Movie (do NOT use QuickTime Conversion). In the export window, check the self-contained option but do not "recompress all frames."
Once the export is finished, launch Compressor then use the self-contained file as the source. If that fails, you may want to try using theis: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/compressorrepair/

Error Occured in exporting to Quicktime with Conversion

hello... I am gettin a general error on final cut pro and im needing just a little help... When i export to Quicktime with Conversion on the streaming medium setting... i get an Error Occured Message...
This error has never occured before on any of my other video's but with this one... i did add some music to the background and it is a bit longer video... almost 10 mins... What do you think i need to do to export this to quicktime with conversion on the streaming medium setting?
Thanks again,
Charlie Jabaley

First, try exporting as a selfcontained quicktime with sequence settings and try using compressor for the conversion.
It's unlikely the audio being longer than the video is causing the problem, but try adding a big of slug to the end of the video track so the material on the video track extends to at least the end of the audio.

Export To YouTube - Quicktime Error -50

While I have exported this project for YouTube via Share, I had to make some additional edits = Re-shooting two smalls pieces of footage. Now when I try to export via the Share option in FCP-7, somewhere in the conversion, the exporting stops and I get the following Quicktime Error:
Share Failure
Quicktime Error -50
The YouTube conversion stops at that point. I did upgrade to 10.6.8. I have never come across this error before. Anyone have an idea what is going on??
Thanks!!
Sky.

Thanks!! As it turns out, after reading many comments on the Creative Cow, I tried a couple things first before trying your suggestion (which was also recommended on the Creative Cow site). Since I had just updated to 10.6.8 I repaired permissions. I also checked all the clips in the sequence since I did a lot of coping and pasting. Turns out the two new clips I added i accidently pasted some filters two or three times. After deleting the duplicate filers, the was able to export just fine. I suspect the added filters caused the issue with Quicktime.
Thanks again for your help!!

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!
