File error when rendering audio on finished project

Hi gang
When I go to render the audio before exporting, I get a file error message about 1 minute into the render that sez: "File error: specified file is open and in use by this or another application". I don't have any other projects open and I trashed my FCP prefs thinking it might fix the problem but same message appears again.
Any ideas?
thanks in advance

If spotlight is indexing (that is a background operation) it is using your file... just not allow spotlight to use your fcp scratch and you should not have this kind of problem in future...
I'd mark it helpful if I could. I've been having the same problem and got tired of "babysitting" my computer while I did a mixdown on long sequences. I just had a 10-minute audio render, and it gave me the error message 3 times. I found this reply and made the prefs changes and it finished just fine (unattended).
Thanks again,

Photoshop file error when rendering motion menus in Encore CS4

Hello
I hope someone can help me please?
I've successfully (after 3 attempts) managed to import my PP project into Encore, created the menus etc from the presets that come with Encore (Wedding Garden menu). When it comes to rendering the motion menus with the animated buttons option checked, after a couple of seconds it comes up with a Runtime C error - photoshop file (508) i think it is and it crashes.
It's a new system CS4, Windows 7 64bit, 2x2.40ghz quad core processor, 24gb ram, nvidfia 285 2gb graphics card - do you need to know anything else?
I've rendered the motion menus without ticking the animate buttons option on the 3 menus I have (it's a wedding dvd - main menu and 2 sub menus with animated thumbnails) and its worked. This is ok as a workaround but I'd really like to be able to have the menu thumbnails animated.
Many thanks
Rachel

Thanks v much i'll certainly give that a try -
if it helps - I managed to make a note of the error message after I had sent my initial posting on this topic.

Thanks again for posting a reply

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 when rendering for Flash

I have had two projects crash when rendering an Encore CS3 project.
The info in the data collection is:
AppName: adobe encore.exe AppVer: 3.0.1.8 ModName: dvacore.dll
ModVer: 2.0.0.60016 Offset: 0008bdb3
Any clues?

OK... I use Premiere Pro and then encode files with an application called Cinema Craft for m2v files. These are loaded into Encore and authored for dvd, tested and all work fine.
With two projects, encore crashes with the error I mentioned in my first post. Others have gone through fine but are consistent with how I always create projects.
I do work with a Matrox RXT.100 board with PP2.0 and have seen posts that PP CS# does not like rxt.100. This should not have any bearing on projects that are exported into m2v or wav and then imported into Encore CS3.
Is it best NOT to export into an mgp format and let Encore transcode video?
If more info is needed I would be glad to supply.

can anybody help?...Should we, after the installation, should install any patches?
Thanks.

Hi
When you boot from the install disk, before you proceed through the install screens, first go to the Installers menu, and choose Disk Utility. If the internal drive appears, select it and click Repair Disk. See if you get errors, and if Disk Utility is able to correct those errors. If the drive does not appear, you may have serious drive issues which another drive utility (such as DiskWarrior) may be able to correct, but it may be severe enough to necessitate replacing the drive.
Since you've already tried Erase and Install, can I assume you have a backup of any files you need? If not, if you have access to another Mac, can you restart the G5 in Firewire mode (restart with the T key held down) and connect it using a Firewire cable to your other Mac. If the G5's drive appears on the other Mac's desktop, copy across any files you need.

In aperture 3.4.5, I get unsupported file error when exporting version of photo I've edited using plugins?

In aperture 3.4.5, I get unsupported file error when exporting version of photo I've edited using plugins. I have try reinstalling aperture three times, deleting plists a few times, reinstalling plugins, restarting my MacBook Pro many times. Everything I've tried may fix the problem for a very short while and I can export a few photos before it returns. The problem happens with topaz and photomatrix pro plugins after I edited and try to export version.

I had the same problem with the Photomatix plug-in and this solved it for me. I realised it only happened with Photomatix and not other plug-ins so I checked where the plug-ins were installed. The Photomatix plug-in was installed in
~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/
where ~ is the home location for the current user account. All the other plug-ins however were installed in
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/
which is the location that makes them available to all user accounts on your Mac. Moving the Photomatix plug-in to this location solved the problem for me.
Note that the Library directory under the first location is normally hidden, to get to it hold down the Option (Alt) key and select it from the Finder Go menu.

Unreadable Files Error when Importing

Hi - I get an "unreadable files" error when trying to import from my iPhoto Library folder. I've read the other postings, and it sounds as though I should not have moved files directly into this folder. If that's the case, can someone please tell me how to move iPhoto Library files from an external HD onto my computers HD so that I can access the files in iPhoto? What I did was move pictures from my external HD "Pictures,iPhoto Libray, Originals" into the the same folder on my computer's HD - Thanks for any help you can provide!

misstexas:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
import from my iPhoto Library folder
That's the reason. iPhoto will not import any file that resides anywhere inside the iPhoto Library folder. Move them to the Desktop and import from there.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Float4() causes "error saving Pixel Bender Byte Code file" error when exporting for flash player

Simple test
<languageVersion : 1.0;>
kernel untitled
<   namespace : "Your Namespace";
    vendor : "Your Vendor";
    version : 1;
>
    input image4 src;
    output pixel4 dst;
    void
    evaluatePixel()
        dst = float4(sampleNearest(src, outCoord()));
The above code will produce a "error saving Pixel Bender Byte Code file" error when exporting for flash player in Pixel Bender Toolkit 2.5.449694.
"dst = (sampleNearest(src, outCoord()));" works fine. And anything like "float4 a= float4(b);" will give same error.

Thank you for the error report. I'll put it into our bug database. We're bottling things up for the current version. Gven the workaround, it is unlikely we'll be addressing this bug soon. Please accept my apologies for the annoyance this will cause.
In your second example, float4 a = float4(b), does it return an error if b is only a float4 or regardless of what b is? If b is a scalar float, for example, is the conversion performed correctly? If so, this could be an error that only crops up when using constructor/conversion syntax when the thing being converted is already the correct type.
Thanks,
Chuck.

File Not Found Error When Rendering Motion Menu

Hi there.
I'm attempting to render a motion menu and keep getting the error "file not found". All of the necessary files are available and no specific missing file is mentioned.
The background video is a .m2v, and there is a .wav audio file too. They are 42 seconds long.
I tried other Encore projects and 2 others are doing the same thing, or coming up with a 'General Error'.
I have cleaned the Database in the Media Cache. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Encore. There are no updates available.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
David

Yeah, it would have taken me quite a while to redo the menus completely! So I was very thankful for the save to menu template option.
When I (not recently, thank goodness!) have a project I suspect of corruption, I create a new project, and just "import as menu" from the old menu subdirectory. The method you used deletes the menus, so exporting the menus helps.
Mac OS 10.6.8
That's Snow Leopard, right?
Actually, I'm not really sure about Encore terminology (this was my first project), but the only motion I have in my menus is the line that appears under the button text when that button is highlighted. At one point I had the photo buttons (for videos) set to animate, but I removed that option.
A highlight is just a highlight, not "motion." Animated buttons, when rendered as the menu, are actually a video background, so that was a motion menu.
All 30 slideshows are actually individual video timelines. They were created and exported from Photosho Lightroom 3.
In Encore terminology, those are just videos - many Encore users choose to do slideshows as videos.
I had originally tried creating each one as a slideshow from within Encore, but I was DEEPLY dismayed by how slow Encore became, evetually locking up at least once per hour. It was ridiculous, even taking into account the fact that it is not a 64-bit program. I planned to leave 2 of the songs as Encore slideshows (Lightroom can't do Pan/Zoom), but in the end I had to replace them with mp4s because the slideshows just would not play. Really, it was about 11 wasted days plus 4 productive days to get me through the project!
Encore has a variety of problems with slideshows, but I suspect from your description that you were using very large images. Scaling them down a bit can improve performance.

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 saving audio file

I am having an issue when trying to save an audio file. Looking for some help on what might be causing the problem. With the audio file highlighted, I select Save As and title the file. When I hit OK, this error comes up..The file is in use by another application and cannot be overwritten. I am saving the file name as something new so it is not trying to overwrite a file with the same name. Also there is not another Audition opened in the background or any other programs that could cause "another application" error. Thanks for your help.

Thank you for the reply. Here is what I determined. Sorry I couldn't answer all your questions. I'm don't know everything about computers and networks, just enough to be dangerous.
File length doesn't make a difference (try save a file of only a few samples) I tried record length of a few seconds to five minutes and it happens on all different file lengths.
You have not had this issue with Adobe Audition 2.0 and Cool Edit Professional 2000, it has never worked in Audition CS5.5 We have one computer that has Audition 2.0 and have no problems with that. Previously used CoolEdit and no problems with that either.
You can save the file to the local workstation drive and then copy it using Windows Explorer to the network share with no issues. Saving to the local computers hard drive works everytime and then I am able to copy that file to the desired network drive.
You are using Windows Storage Server 2003 in a Raid 10 array for your storage server. Sorry do not know
Active Directory and the workstations have the proper permissions to read and write to the network shares. Yes
The workstations running Adobe Audition CS5.5 are running Windows 7 Profession 32bit and have Active Directory Login. Yes. They are Windows 7 32 bit. Not sure about Active Directory Login
You are able to save to the local drive and copy the file to the same network share via Windows Explorer. Yes
Toggling the saving of Metadata and Markers doesn't make a difference. Sorry do not know
You are able to save as other formats (try AIFF, MP3, and a SESX session). Able to save MP3's to the notwork drive. only .wav are having issues
Running Audition as Administrator makes no difference. No difference
Running Audition in XP compatibility mode makes no difference. Tried that and still had same issues
Turning off the writing of .pkf files doesn't make a difference. Sorry not sure how to do that
I hope this helps and I apologize for not being able to answer all your questions.
Best regards

Unknown file error when try to save project

We are experiencing a problem with some of our Final Cut Pro edit suites. An editor opens, or starts a new, project and makes some changes. When they try to save the project they get an error - File Error: Unknown file.
This doesn't happen often, but it usually happens at the worst possible times.
Does anyone have any ideas on what might be causing this?

I have the same problem. I get the following error when trying to save:
operation not allowed
I'm usually aware of this when working along and then that pops up. It happens when autosave cannot save. When I try to manually save I get the same error message.
This has happened twice after working for a couple hours. If I wait, it still will not save. The only solution is to shut down FCP without saving, restart, and the restore from the last autosave before the problem. I usually use about 45 minutes to an hour's worth of work.
I have no idea what causes this.

I get an error when I want to finish my iMovie project?

I want to finish my I movie project so I can make a dvd of it. I get an error after about an hour of it Formating the finish project. Any Help out there?

''I can clear the cache and get back to my site OK, but other computers running XP also get this problem which means that a great many people can no longer access my site with Firefox.

After Effects error when rendering

"After Effects error: Rendering error while writing file "file_name". An output module failed. The file maybe damaged or corrupted (-1610153464)"
file rendered successfully in draft and poor quality but this error is when best quality.
Tried saving into different location, rendered but the finished film kept stopping every 2 seconds and took 7GB of space. The film is meant to be 55 seconds long.

You are using the default Animation codec which is the default codec. You should really study up on rendering and formats. I'm guessing that your connection to the external drive had some data rate problems or started dropping bits. Try another cable or render to your boot drive. You've scaled your latest screenshots to the point where they are very difficult to read, but it looks like everything else is normal except that your top screenshot shows the only footage in the shot looks like it came from a GoPro and your composition frame rate in the Render Settings is showing up as 24. It's not likely that that is the actual frame rate of the footage. Select the footage in the composition in the Project Panel and check out the frame rate. If it is 59.94 then your comp should either be 29.97 or 59.94. Because of the size I suspect that the frame rate is not 24 but 23.976.
This probably did not cause your problem but frame rates are important to understand and use properly.
