  • Flash Sprite Convert #BitmapData Wrong Type Error

    When using a flash sprite to convert an image to #BitmapData I get a "Wrong Type" error. Does this only work with specific image types? Any ideas on what might cause this error? The image I am trying to convert is from a bitmap member.
    ie.
    bmp_data = flash_sprite.convert( #BitmapData, member( "some bmp" ).image )

    Try a little error checking:
    im = member("some bmp").image
    put im
    put flash_sprite
    bmp_data = flash_sprite.convert( #BitmapData, im )
    put bmp_data

  • HELP! Can't Open a FCP project File, "General Error 41"

    Trying to open a project for a Good guy
    over a barrel, using FCStudio /FCP 5.1 FCP opens,
    then says "General Error 41". All I need to
    do is create an SD Version DVD, But first
    I Gotta open it.

    Since this is your friend's FCP project file, check to see if he/she has version 5.1.1 or above.
    I think the project file is from a newer format.
    For some reason, the bump from FCP 5.1 to 5.1.x was big enough to require the project files to be a different format.
    If that is the case, (and if you want to take the chance on the unknown,) you can upgrade to the version your friend has (or above.)
    Make sure you really want to upgrade and are prepared for all the potential problems!

  • FCP File Error: Wrong Type

    A EXT HD w/ 1TB worth of FCP Projects and it's media died on me. (no, none of it was backed up, please save me the lecture!)
    Anyway, we sent it to one of the Drive Recovery places and they were able to retrieve about 95% of the files.
    When I got back the new drive w/ the rescued files It seemed like it was all there until I tried to open one of the .fcp files and encountered this:
    FCP File Error: Wrong Type
    I checked the file's info to see if it was associated w/ FCP. It was...
    I checked the Capture Scratch files and found that all of the Quicktimes did not have their ".mov" extensions. I added ".mov" after one of them and it opened successfully in the Quicktime Player. I tried moving this same file to FCP and encountered this:
    File Error: Unknown File
    As an experiment I took the same quicktime (which BTW is an HDV 1080i60 Quicktime) and dropped it into Compressor. I converted it to the same setting (HDV 1080i60) After the conversion I was able to pop it into FCP normally.
    So what do you guys think? Is there anyway I can get these .fcp files to open? Am I totally screwed?
    Thanks,
    -B

    Yes, a .fcp extension means it's a FCP project file. I'm not dragging/importing .fcp's into FCP, just trying to open them normally w/ no luck. It's the QT's I've been dragging/importing into FCP.
    I've tried a few Resource Editors to change the way the .fcp project files are handled/read w/ no luck
    Well, at least my QT's are intact...

  • FCP Files Will Not Open (File Error: Wrong Type)

    I have put together a few pieces using FCP and then unfortunately my LaCie HD got wiped. I was however able to recover all of my files (thank God) but when I go to open any previous FCP files, I get the error message "File Error: Wrong Type" once FCP is opened. I am wondering if there is any way to open these files somehow so I don't lose my work. Thank you.

    If they'll open in QuickTime, you could re export them, and thus rebuild them that way.
    Otherwise... recapture them. I'm not sure they couldn't be fixed, but more than likely the recovery process messed up the resource forks of these files. Might search in the QuickTime forum here for a fix for that??

  • Receiving an export file error: wrong type

    I have created a movie several times in FCP and then exported the movie to QT without any problems. Now all of a sudden, I can't get the movie to export correctly. After the 2 hour export, I'll check on FCP to find that the program has shut down without an "Unexpected Shut Down" message. I check for the exported movie which I find in the saved folder. I click to open and verify the completed job, but find that I get an error instead : "Error: Wrong Type".
    The last successful movie I created was September 14th, prior to the QT 7.5.5 upgrade. I thought it was the upgrade, as I found out that FCP does not do well with the new QT version, so I reverted to QT 7.5, but I am still experiencing the same problem with FCP quitting and the movie not being able to read.
    What is going on? Can anyone help?

    Francois:
    This is a crazy solution, but this happened to me last week and this solution enabled me to open my files again -- they were all greyed out and I thought I'd lost them. I took my drive in to an Apple Store Genius Bar without resolution and spend 2 hours online with ProApps (FCE/FCP) tech support, also with no resolution.
    This fix is based on the fact that FCP when it is started, it automatically opens the project that was open when it was closed. First, in FCP save the current project (this can be any project -- I created a placeholder project -- to a dummy name -- I used "save me". Close FCP and delete the dummy name ("save me") project. Now rename the project that is greyed out and provides the File Error: Wrong Type message that you would like to open to the dummy name, so that it's now called "save me". Now open FCP again. Now save the recuperated file using the original name.

  • File Error: wrong type   can't open media file

    After capturing my film using Final Cut Pro,"Capture Now" I can't open the film file. It seems the film was caputured onto my Mac notebook in a file format Final Cut Pro doesn't recognize or can't open. When I try to open the file the following error message pops up: "File Error: Wrong Type".
    It seems the format of this media file is AV or avi (the name of the media file is "Untitled - AV". It's not a .fcp file.
    I tried to open it with Quicktime or other programs, but without success, no program can open it.
    I appreciate your help!

    I followed the instructions in the article AppleCare Technical Support emailed: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302337 . It helped to delete the User Preferences and to remove receipts and to reinstall the entire Final Cut Pro Studio software. I think what really helped was to update the latest software versions (Final Cut Pro 5.1.4).
    Thank you very much!

  • File Error: Wrong type

    Hi,
    I have been archiving some old finished videos (as self-contained QTs) on a server that is PC based. I have a feeling that this may be a problem. I'm right, right?
    On a related note, I now have some QTs that will not open, with error messages like
    'File Error: Wrong type.' (FCP)
    and
    'Error opening movie
    The movie could not be opened.' (QT)
    The fun part is that I cannot remember exactly which had been moved over there (I had a couple LaCies die on me and in a rush transfered a bunch of stuff back and forth trying to stay ahead of the crash), but now they're back on Mac based externals. But won't open.
    Any advice is tremendously appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ariel.
    Dual 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   1 LaCie Big Disk Extreme, 1 Maxtor 500Gb, FCPHD 4.5, QT Pro 7.1.3

    Okay, thanks for the help. I'm pretty swamped right now, but by next Monday I will have gone through all of them. I will post back then with any info that may be of interest.
    So, for the future, I should either stay away from non Mac OS formatted drives for my media, or zip them before sending them over. (by control clicking and archiving)
    (sigh) Thanks, guys. I'm still just trying to figure out the cheapest, quickest way to archive my old stuff. I guess tape is the best way to go.

  • Message: File Error, wrong type

    I have some folders listed on my scratch disc when I look in Finder. They say things like Waveform Cache file, autosave vault, audio render files. Inside there are files relating to a project I have completed. If I try to open them I get the message "File Error, wrong type".
    It seems to me that it's OK to trash these as I cannot do anything with them. Before doing that I wanted to just check with the experts: is it OK to remove them please? Thanks for the advice.
    Keith

    If you're done with the project, it's ok to trash everything. If you plan to return to the project, you can delete everything except the actual project file and any media files associated with it.

  • VerifyError: Error #1033 Cpool entry 1 is wrong type - Java Server

    Hello, there!
    I need some help if someone else has already face this problem.
    I have a Java server that process the bytes of a SWF File stored in the server and ouptut it to the user through a Servlet. The file was decompressed and re-compressed using the java.util.zip package.
    Everything works fine on Windows Server 2008 server. But now we need migrate the server to Linux. The problem is that when I test the website now, the Flash Player throws this error: VerifyError: Error #1033 Cpool entry 1 is wrong type.
    Nothing has changed on client side, not even on the SWF.
    The documentation is too generic/vague about this error, only saying that this means that the SWF is corrupted. But everything runs normal on Windows Server configuration, when changed to Linux, this messages appears... what could possible be the cause?
    My Windows Server is:
         . Windows Server 2008 (6.0 - x86)
         . Apache 2.2.11
         . Tomcat 6.0.16.0
         . Java JDK 1.6.0_12-b04
    My CentOS Server is
         . CentOS 5.4 (2.6.18-164.15.1.el5 - i386)
         . Apache 2.2.3
         . Tomcat 6.0.16.0
         . Java JDK 1.6.0_12-b04
    Please, if someone could give me a lead, I would appreciate very much!
    Thank you all in advance,
    CaioToOn!

    Thank you, Taylor!
    You were right! The problem isn't about Flash.
    The problem was about encoding, with the clue of Neil Coffey I could figure out the problem. It can be checked here for anyone who interest.
    Thank you again,

    Nikon raw files would open up in Adobe Camera Raw and so should jpegs.
    If you select one in Bridge and give the command "Ctrl r" (Windows), what happens?
