FCP HD freezes after exporting

Every time I export to a Quicktime Movie reference movie, FCP freezes. The Quicktimes are fine and the burned DVD's are perfect. I've tried the usual suspects,i.e. trashing preferences downloading all the pro apps, but no joy. In the overall scheme of things the glitch is more annoying than a serious problem, but having to force quit FCP and reboot the machine doesn't seem like the best long term operating procedure. Ideas?

Shane's Stock Tip Mantra: If the program was working fine, and now isn't, or just isn't working the way it should, the first things to do are:
1) Trash your FCP preferences. Download the appropriate version of FCP Rescue at http://fcprescue.andersholck.com/ and run it.
2) Open the Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
3) (optional) Do the Hokey Pokey and turn your self about. Results may vary.

Quicktime video skips and freezes after exporting from FCP

I have tried exporting from Final Cut a few different ways, but my QT file had short skips and freezes in the video (the audio is perfect).
I have done this same thing several time with no problems at all. What am I doing wrong?

DETAILS
What are you exporting?
How are you exporting... QT Movie, Conversion, what settings?

Premiere Pro freezes after exporting with Media Encoder

So I'm running the latest version of CC.
Mac Pro, OSX 10.9.2, 8-Core Xeon, 24GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD 5870 1GB
I've got a very simple and straight forward timeline. After sending "Exporting Media" via queue to Media Encoder, everything exports fine. But after returning to Premiere, it has become impossibly slow--practically frozen. No crash, no error message, just takes about 60 seconds for any clicks to register. I click save project, and the saving progress bar does not visibly progress, yet it seems to actually successfully save the project, because closing and launching premiere, the file is saved up-to-date just fine.
So for the past few days, I've been saving --> export/queue timeline --> quit premiere --> allow queue to complete --> then relaunch premiere... Of course, this is only a temporary work around.
Now, if I "Export" the media only without queueing in Encoder, it does fine and premiere remains stable and normal.
Ideas?

Exact same problem here, plus exports are slow

Cineplus - freezing after export

So...
Some of you might be familiar with the cineplus plug in for adobe. It's beautiful stuff when it works. Problem is, it's only working 30% of the time for me. Now it grades correctly, and it goes through render and exports successfully through encoder. The problem is when I open the final clip. At a random interval (sometimes 20% sometimes 50% of the way through the clip) it gives me a frozen image but the sound continues on. This is in quicktime, h.264, and mpeg2. Anyone out there want to venture a guess what's going on?

Looks like you are stuck in the middle.

In SSRS , after exporting report in excel,wrap text property for cell and freeze column for SSRS table header not working in Excel

I am working no one SSRS my table headers are freeze cangrow property is false and my report is working perfect while rendering data on RDL and i want same report after exporting in Excel also , i want my table header to be freeze and wrap text property
to work after exporting in my report in excel but its not working ,is there any solution ? any patch ? any other XML code for different rendering ?

Hi Amol,
According to your description, you find the wrap text property and fix column is not working after exporting into Excel. Right?
In Reporting Services, when exporting to excel file, it has limitation for textbox.
Text boxes are rendered within one Excel cell. Font size, font face, decoration, and font style are the only formatting that is supported on individual text within an Excel cell.
Excel adds a default padding of approximately 3.75 points to the left and right sides of cells. If a text box’s padding settings are less than 3.75 points and is just barely wide enough to accommodate the text, the text may wrap in Excel.
In this scenario, it supposed to be wrap text unless you merge cells. If cells are merged, word-wrap does not work correctly. If any merged cells exist on a row where a text box is rendered with the
AutoSize property, autosize will not work. For the Fix Data Property, it can't be working in Excel. These are features when exporting to Excel. We can't change it because it's by design.

Exporting to Microsoft Excel (Report Builder and SSRS)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

FCP Freezes When Exporting to Flash Video (FLV)

Final Cut Pro 7.0.2 freezes when exporting to Flash Video (FLV). The resulting FLV file contains only a few seconds of the exported video. A 2009 Apple Support notice offers this re. FCP 6 and CS3 Flash Video Encoder...
===
Final Cut Pro: May quit unexpectedly when exporting to Flash
Last Modified: February 13, 2009
Article: TS2593
Symptoms
Final Cut Pro may quit unexpectedly when you export using QuickTime Conversion if you choose Flash Video (FLV) from the Format menu.
Products Affected
Final Cut Pro 6.x, Adobe Creative Suite 3 Flash Video Encoder
Resolution
This can happen if you use the Adobe Creative Suite 3 Flash Video Encoder and Final Cut Pro together. This issue does not occur with the Flash Video Encoder in Adobe Creative Suite 4. To work around the issue:
Choose File > Export > QuickTime Movie.
Be sure to enable Make Movie Self-Contained.
Open the exported movie in QuickTime Player.
Export the movie to Flash from QuickTime Player.
===
I just installed CS5, so I would think I shouldn't be bothered with an older, problematic Flash Video Encoder. I don't think I should have to convert an MOV file to an FLV file using QuickTime Reader or anything else. Why doesn't it export correctly out of FCPro 7.0.2?

oh well.

White screen in Avid Meridian after export from FCP 6?

After exporting a sequence as 10 bit uncompressed NTSC (using AJA Kona II card) on FCP Ver. 6.06, I imported the file into my Avid Symphony (Meridian).
When I tried to play the file, I could only see a white screen. Audio plays fine.
I have searched Apple, AJA (Kona card) and Avid websites, but can't seem to find a codec or update that addresses this problem.
Any suggestions?

Ahhh...I think the big issue is that you are running that Avid on a PC. So what you need to do is convert the file to the Avid Meridian QT codec, and then bring it over. This means that you need to download that Avid codecs and install those on your Mac.
And there will be a gamma shift...no way around that. You'll have to correct for that on the Avid.

FCP freezes after hiding

Using fcp X 10.0.9 it freezes after it was hiding. Only the main menu at the top of the screen is still somehow accessible. Opening the "about"-window lets it freeze on the screen. No way to get rid of it except by quitting the program. Anybody had the same experience?

No but try this ........
Many weird things happen as a result of corrupt preferences which can create a vast range of different symptoms, so whenever FCP X stops working properly in any way, trashing the preferences should be the first thing you do using this free app.
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
Shut down FCP X, open PreferenceManager and in the window that appears:-
1. Ensure that only FCP X is selected.
2. Click Trash
The job is done instantly and you can re-open FCP X.

Lightroom 2.7 freezes after 7 exports

Hi folks,
I know, everyone is into LR3 - but as I am working with XP for various reasons, I have opted for the 2.7 version for the time being.
I have looked for a solution on the forum and the internet but did not find any up to now.
So, here it goes:
This is my computer
I have a HD of 500 GB that is still rather empty as I work with external harddisks that still have loads of space too.
With Photoshop CS2 I can work up to 10 - 12 hrs before I get hints that maybe I'd better reboot to empty the memory.
LR is a wonderful tool and I am happy with it.But...
The first bug of not wanting to save jpg has been solved with JF Metadata Wragler till I can upgrade my CS2.
But it has another one. I can export up to 7 photos I have been working on and then LR freezes when I want to export again. Closing down LR helps a few times but then it won't even be closed down any more - or if it does, it won't start up again and I have to reboot. At that moment all else, Photoshop included, still keeps on working happily...
I wondered if the Wrangler was doing it, disabled and removed it, downloaded a new version > no change. I worked a while with an eye on the Task Manager's performance tab but nothing out of the ordinary as far as I can see. It does peak for a fraction of a second during export but then goes nicely down to normal values. It makes no difference if there are many catalogues or only a few in LR. I am using a setting in the Wrangler that after saving the photo sends it to Photoshop which does save me time - but I tried without it and that makes no difference either. It is always 7 exports and then no more...
Any idea what is causing this and what else I can do?
If it weren't so lovely to work with LR, I'd just throw it out... but I don't really want to miss it any more :-)
Thanks and grts
Nil

Well that wasn't the solution either - I removed LR completely (the second
time), also the things it leaves behind in the Win Explorer after the
uninstall, checked in the registry, rebooted and reinstalled selecting the
setup32.exe file manually. Now I get 1 picture further. Instead of the 7th
photo each time, it is the 8th that freezes the export and LR... This is
getting kind of spooky... I'm still trying to see the fun side of it but
well...
Any more ideas?
2010/7/25 Nilgün Güney <[email protected]>
Hi Dorin,
>
I do hope you can answer a short question for me.
>
When you install LR and it automatically uses setup64.exe, does that mean
it is thinking that you are running a 64 bits version of Windows? Because
then I may have found the answer to my problem - I hope. This counting to 6
business is getting rather irritating at the rate I take photos

Thanks in advance and grts

FCP Freezes after sitting idle then coming back to it

About a month ago, I reformatted my hard drive on my macbook pro and did a clean install of my FCP software (v6). I also got a new external hard drive (Seagate Freeagent Desk for Mac 2 TB, FW800) where I keep all my footage I'm working with. Since then, I've started experiencing a problem I've never had before... often I'll have FCP open, then open up a browser window to write emails or whatever. But then when I try to go back to FCP, it freezes and I get the spinning beachball. From that point, I have to force restart the computer to re-open FCP, because FCP won't fully quit once that's happened. If I just force quit, it goes away from the screen, but the dot on the dock is still there, and it won't reopen.
This definitely only started happening after I reformatted my HD, but I also got the the new hard drive at the same time... I thought at first it was the Hard Drive not waking up, but I returned the HD for a new one, and it's still doing it. So based on that, it seems like it must be an issue with the macbook. Weird thing is though... it doesn't seem to happen when older hard drives are plugged in, ones that I had before I reformatted my hard drive.
No idea what to do at this point...

I agree, sounds like disc sleeping problems with that drive, found this in a quick search

IPhoto freezes after 46 photos exported

I Photo freezes after 46 photos. I have tried by eliminating photos and moving them around but it still freezes. I am trying to export an album of photos to burn to a CD and it just won't work.
It exports the first 46 then tells me it cannot export the photo which would be 47. But that should not be the case, since #47 is not the same photo when i go back after moving them around and deleting some.

Where are you exporting to and how much free space do you have on your boot drive. A test you can run is to launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import more than 47 photos and check to see if the same problem persists.
If it doesn't then the problem lies with your current library.
If it does then it could be an application issue, user account issue or system issue.
Report back with the results.

FCP 4.0 issue - using capture now, freezes after 5 minutes

Capturing miniDV to FCP 4.0 using capture now on external drive. Never had any problems in the past, but now FCP freezes after a little more than 5 minutes of capturing. I have to force quit. When I find the file on my hard drive it's about 10 GB. Haven't used FCP in several months. Is it possible some settings got screwed up? No problem capturing via iMovie 4.0 so the problem doesn't seem to be with the drive.
Any assistance would be very much appreciated.

Just to reiterate what Shane and David told you. Updating to QT 7.4 is probably not going to solve your issue. It might make things worse though. You need to do what they said and get your quicktime version they recommended. Now, if it works for you, fantastic, but there have been enough posts on this topic and chances are very slim to null that QT 7.4 will work for your version of Final Cut.
And please be prepared to do an erase and install if the archive and install does not work.
One more idea might be to use a program called Pacifist. (Search the forum for Quicktime and Pacifist) You may be able to use that. Anyone can correct me if I am wrong here.

IMovie clips freezing/stuttering while editing in playback & after exporting to Quicktime

I've been working with iMovie since 2003 and if its not one thing, its always another. This particular problem is a new one, and I can't seem to find the get around. Any advice would be appreciated!
Working on a wedding video (large event size but only 6-8 minute project) and the clips are freezing/stuttering in the project and viewer windows when I try to play them back. Each time it freezes, I get the spinning wheel for 5-10 seconds before I can place my marker and try again. Endless cycle. This happened in a few other projects, but those I was able to edit out the freezing clips OR found that exporting to Quicktime seemed to smooth out the glitches, just made editing a pain.
Not this time. Even after exporting to Quicktime, there are still numerous glitches in my quicktime movies (using default and numerous other settings).
Here are the things I've tried: reinstalling my iLife 09 software, running all the updates, clearing off my hard drive (to give me 70+GB of space), detaching my external hard drive and only using internal memory, restarting, and deleting the plists. No luck, still have these glitches.
Could this be an issue with audio or using the stabilization option (used that for the first time)?

.. 90min movie .. share to iDVD .. iMovie would freeze and be unresponsive.. .exporting to QuickTime .. 13 hours .. random stills .. iMovie will freeze ..
Would putting all of the clips and the project on an external hard drive help? Would updating to OS 10.5.8 help exporting to QuickTime?
plus your profile, MacBook, indicates to me, your internal harddrive is full.
check with DiskUtility, how many partitions your internal drive has.
check, how much free disk space internal you offer your apps.
imho, extHDD is a MUST when editing video..
.. is there any way to move our already edited clips from iM09 to iM06?
use 'Export using Quicktime', choose dv-stream (for SD content) or AppleIntermediate (for HD content) - these are the only codecs, iMHD6 reads..
this export consolidate the project => it comes into iMHD6 as a single solid file, e.g. no more editing of titles, which are now 'burned into film'.
_consider to create a special 'transfer'-version of your project:_
in Project Browser, select project, ctrl-click, 'duplicate', and create a pre-production version (no titles, no music, additional material for further editing, longer clips to add transitions in iMHD6.. ect)

Audio falls out of sync with FCP sequence after export from STP

Hey all,
editing sound on a short film. sent FCP sequence to sweeten the dialog and add effects, according to the timeline it is the same length as sequence length in
FCP, but when exporting from STP to FCP to complete movie, the sound ends up being about 10 frames longer than the video and starts in sync and falls out of sync over the duration of the film.
Have tried changing preference settings in STP, exported about 5 ways to breakfast and all have same result.
Anyone have a solution to this problem?
Much thanks,
Holly

I just experienced this same thing, and as Christof says, it had to do with 'Easy Setup' and 'all formats'. I've been editing a picture shot on RED in Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) at 2K (2048 x 1152) and 24fps...FCS 3 (FCP 7 latest version). Whenever you trash preferences or start up FCP new, you get the 'easy setup' menu. Previously, I could just hit 'okay' and go ahead into FCP and change the settings/resolutions within the project...even if the 'easy setup' default was, say, DV/NTSC 29.97. Also, when opening up an active project after trashing prefs, the project itself would still have the same editing/playback settings/resolutions, even if the 'easy setup' window had its default DV/NTSC setting. Plus, if you create a new timeline and its default is one format, once you drop a different format into it, it asks you if it should adjust to that format anyway, and of course, you say yes and everything is fine.
Well....in this most recent FCP update, whenever I'd export an AIFF from the timeline and reimport....or if I'd just import an AIFF...it would do something to the playback rate of that newly imported/reimported sound file and suddenly its sync has drifted all over the place within just a minute or so. But strangely, it wouldn't do it to audio that's attached to picture (.mov/MP4/etc.)....only isolated audio files (AIFF/WAV). So naturally, I wondered if something was going on during the export process or the like.
The solution is to make sure that when you open FCP (newly, or after trashing prefs), make sure you pick the settings/format/framerate in that 'Easy Setup' window that matches what you intend to edit as closely as possible. In my case, the format is Apple ProRes 422 (HQ), 2048 x 1152 @ 24fps, and I use a Blackmagic Multibridge so I have settings for it. Hence......*Format; HD, Frame Rate: 24, Use: Blackmagic HDTV 1080P 24 - 10 bit.* Whereas the default upon startup is....Format: (all formats), Frame Rate: 29.97, Use: DV/NTSC 48KHz.
You can also set these in the 'Audio Video Settings' menu. Now, whenever I export and reimport an AIFF, or just import an AIFF (like the soundmix prepared by our sound designer), sync stays and there's no drift. So make sure you've picked the right settings when starting or reopening a project, again as Christof pointed out.

Interlacing in freeze-frame after export

Hi,
I've come up against this problem. It looks fine while using PE, but after exporting the freeze-frame looks terrible?
Anthony

Hi Steve,
I tried a number of times to create the right preset but to no avail.
The 4 options I get in advanced settings, after selecting 'Share/Personal Computer/Still Photo' are the following:
1. The type of file (jpeg, tiff, etc)
2. Frame rate (I leave as is)
3. Progressive/Upper/Lower
4. A number of choices, the first of which is square pixels.
There doesn't seem to be any place for 'deinterlacing'
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Anthony
