Final Cut 7 CRASHES during Quicktime conversion export

Does anyone else have this problem. The error message says it might be the FLV plugin? It doesn't even het to the options window... just crashes.

I don't know if this will make too much of a difference, but if you can, try using Compressor. It's a bit slower and more clumsy than a direct QT conversion or Export, but it should do the trick. As a bonus, if anything does go wrong, Compressor might offer a more detailed error report.
Hope this helps!

  • HELP! Final Cut Crashes or Freezes on Export/Render System Kernel Panic

    I am having issues with Final Cut on this computer since day 1 when I first purchased it! I do alot of video production for weddings and events and this is driving me nuts!
    I have an Imac 2.16 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 3GB 667mhz DDR2 SDRAM. The media is reading off of my external Firewire 800 1 TB Drive. Final Cut is version 5.1.4. Quicktime version is 7.4.5
    I am editing an HDV project currently although I have had the same issue with other regular DV projects that have lengthy renders.
    The current project is fairly simplistic in layout, with a white matte on the first video line, video and png stills on the second row each with a key around the edges to give a soft white border appearance on the video. PNG stills have motion settings.
    The problem occurs when attempting to render the project. If attempting to render the entire project, the time states about 4 hrs (for a 30 min project). At around 18-25% the kernel error pops up asking the restart the imac. If I attempt to render in selections of about 10 minutes a piece, it also results in kernel panic. If I take smaller peices at a time and render and keep saving, I am able to slowly get through rendering the project.
    Exporting the movie to quicktime as a self contained file, or even not self contained, also results in kernal panic about 40% of the way through.
    I have read on various forums about this and it seems like everyone is thinking it may have something to do with quicktime. What could the problem really be? I'm going crazy! Is the Imac just not able to handle final cut?
    Thanks!

    I've tried a few things to try and identify the problem, but none of them have helped.
    For instance, I completely turned off the  screen saver. In the preferences, under power saver, I selected, computer sleep to "never"; Display sleep to "never"; I unchecked the "put the hard disk to sleep when possible."
    And then I tried to only very small portion of the timeline.  The results were as follows:
    At around 5 minutes, the final cut crashes.  I tried this process several times, and it seems to render up until the 5 minute limit and then crashes again.
    Does anyone know what to do?

  • KNOWN PROBLEM BUT NO SOLVING: FCE CRASHES ON QUICKTIME CONVERSION EXPORT

    Hi to all,
    i'm an italian new user. I already use FCP on my Mac Pro 2007,and i purchased FCE for my new MacBook 2008 3GB Ram.
    I use Snow Leopard for both machines. FCE is installed only on MacBook. The issue is:
    When i put ANYTHING on timeline (effect,clips of ALL formatsetc) indipendently from Sequence presets,FINALCUT EXPRESS CRASHES IMMEDIATLY WHEN I TRY TO EXPORT TO "QUICKTIME CONVERSION". No messages,no report,nothing.
    I searched and read many pages of this forum,i found a similar thread where the suggestions were the erase of preferences in Libray and reinstalling. I DID THAT but FCE crashes again.
    I'd like to resolve the problem on this machine,because i will use FCE on this computer.
    Follow, there is a sample video of my problem,i captured it for this thread. I hope will help you to understand exactly i want to repair:

    Tom,
    This is an excellent tip. I really learnt something I wasn't aware of. FCE always seemed to render anyway but it takes longer if you did not render first. But you are right. The manual mentions it as well.
    Anyway, it does not explain really why, with Quicktime X installed, I and others experience FCE crashes. Before with Leopard , FCE really never crashed.
    Contrary to what I mentioned, I still experience crashes, also after full rendering. Strangely enough, it does not happen all the time. It seems difficult to reproduce the circumstances when FCE crashes on export. Any suggestions?

  • Fixing the corrupt file created when final cut crashes during a capture...

    Hi, occasionally whilst I'm capturing from Digi Beta my G5 will crash on the end of the capture (the beach ball will just keep spinning until I have to force quit).
    When I check the file I was capturing in my Capture Scratch it comes up as a huge file (usually around 700gb) with a '-av' added to the end of it's file name.
    When I remove the -av, the file goes back to its original size but Quicktime player or Final Cut don't recognise it to open (though it does keep its Quicktime icon).
    Usually I just delete this file and re-capture it but I'm just wondering if there's any way of fixing the file to save time?
    Thanks,
    Alex

    Usually I just delete this file and re-capture it but I'm just wondering if there's any way of fixing the file to save time?< </div>
    IIRC, the file is incomplete, it's lacking the complete header information. Have you tried appending .mov to the file? Let us know how that works.

  • Final Cut Crashing during loading and within motion tab

    Hi All,
    I'm working on an older Imac (black back) and some towers and I have FCP7, CS4, and Avid MC5 installed on them. FCP is starting to crash on me in a couple different situations and I was wondering if anyone had a fix.
    Pre cursor: I've already reinstalled FCP, trashed preferences, upgraded from snow leopard 10.6 - 10.6.3
    Whenever FCP quits on load up, it's while directional blur is loading up. It gives me a laundry list of code.
    When I do get FCP open, whenever I try to apply a simple speed change or basic motion it crashes on me as well. On top of that I can't open the Motion application.
    I have some newer imacs (silver back) that haven't had this problem and I was thinking maybe it's just a graphics card issue? I heard that it might be a conflict between the FCP Suite and AE or CS4 in general also.
    Any Ideas?

    So back to the question if the OS was a clean install or an upgrade. For the pro apps it really should be done as a clean erase and install of the OS and a clean install from the discs. Pushing the software to multiple machines can cause problems. The only way this has worked for us in large training installations is to make a disk image for the whole system, including a clean erase and install of the OS, and then pushing the whole system and apps onto wiped drives.

  • Exporting from final cut pro to quicktime

    hi,
    i am trying to export my movie from final cut pro to quicktime. after exporting, the file is actually a final cut pro movie file, NOT a quicktime movie as intended. what am i doing wrong?
    to export the movie as quicktime, i know i go to sequence>settings> set the settings and then go to file>export>quicktime. what am i doing wrong??? it seems so simple!
    thanks,
    farilee

    You aren't doing anything wrong. It is still a quicktime movie, but set to auto open by FCP.
    Two things:
    (1) add a .mov extension to it.
    (2) select it in the finder, and do a get info. Change the Open With... to QuickTime Player.
    Make sense?

  • Final Cut Crashes on any EXPORT

    Turned on the computer today and needed to Export some projects through Compressor. About 2 minutes into the encoding Final Cut "Quit Unexpectedly".
    Tried several times with the same results. Final Cut also Quits when I export to "Quicktime Movie" & export 'Audio to AIFF'.
    I trashed the preferences & repaired my disk permissions through disk utility. Still doesn't work.
    I can however, edit just fine. No crashes there. Only when Exporting.
    I should mention im working on the latest version of FCPS2 & OSX.
    Any ideas on how to fix this?
    Thx.
    Mike A.

    You have pretty much the same set-up as us except we're one OSX 10.5.3
    What video codec are your source files? and where you converting while exporting?
    We've been using HDV 1080p and have tried export using quicktime conversion as well as a straight forward export all with no luck. Also tried deleting render files and re-rendering and still had no luck. The only work around we found was to take the footage into After Effects using Automatic Duck and then render it out from there...

  • Final Cut Crashes when I try to export a batch list - help!

    I'm doing a very large documentary project and each tape has extensive log notes. I use the batch list function to export tabbed text files and convert them to excel - very useful in the creative process when figuring out story structure etc.
    But now every time I try to export a batch list final cut crashes - any ideas on how to get around this?
    please help.

    Are you batch exporting the enrire project maybe?
    Might try selecting just your capture bins and trying to batch export those. Could be a sequence or graphic file making it go kookoo.
    If the sheer size of it is making FCP choke you could try selecting a single bin and then doing batch export. Do that for all your bins and assemble them in excel.

  • Recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion then Mavericks. I have Final Cut Express and when I export to Quicktime, and open to play the movie, Quicktime starts to "convert" it? What is this about????

    Recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion then Mavericks. I have Final Cut Express and when I export to Quicktime, and open to play the movie, Quicktime starts to "convert" it? What is this about????

    My existing movies are all the following types straight from FinalCut
    Apple Intermediate Codec, 1920 × 1080, Millions
    16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo, 48.000 kHz
    This particular movie is 6.66 Gb
    The new Quicktime player in OS Mavericks converts these to the following format:
    Apple ProRes 422, 1920 x 1080
    Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 2 channels, 48000 Hz
    And a movie size of 6.48 Gb
    Please, please can someone tell me why?

  • Final Cut Pro X Image Sequence Export missing frames per second option?

    I am using the trial version of Final Cut Pro X.  I can export an image sequence but it will only allow me to do so at 30 frames per second -every single frame! 
    So a 10 min movie takes half an hour to export 20,000+ frames that no one on earth has time to look thru.
    In my old Final Cut Express I was able to choose 1 or 2 frames per second, which was just right.
    What am I missing?
    Do I need to buy Quicktime Pro or Compressor to allow me to export image sequences without exporting every frame?
    Why would Apple even have an image sequence export if it only allows you to export every frame, or it that only in the trial version?
    Thank you

    I found a free option for you, if you don't already have Compressor 4.
    In FCPX create your movie. Then SHARE as a Master File.
    Get MPEG Streamclip, which is a free app available here.
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    Drag your Master File into MPEG Streamclip.
    In MPEG Streamclip, select FILE/EXPORT TO OTHER FORMATS.
    In FORMAT: choose IMAGE SEQUENCE
    In OPTIONS, choose your frame rate.

  • Why are the gamma settings different when I watch Final Cut projects on Quicktime?

    I added a Gamma Correction filter to my video clips in Final Cut Express 4, and after exporting the project into a Quicktime file, the video shows up brighter and washed out in my Quicktime 7 player. I've even checked the box in Quicktime Preferences to enable Final Cut Studio color, and the video still looks brighter than it should be. What can I do to fix this?
    Here is a side-by-side view of the Canvas on left and Quicktime on right.
    I am sending this to someone as they will upload it, so to prevent any possible mishaps, my other question is are the settings from what we see from Final Cut the official one? Or is what I'm seeing on Quicktime what I will be seeing if I were to watch it streaming from a website?

    It's a huge issue that has existed for years. Legacy QT used to have the Gamma set to 1.8 but since to 2.2. FCP however has no way (other than adding another effect) to adjust this. It does only affect some codecs however. Adobe After Effects has a check box in the project settings for 'Legacy Gamma in Quicktime'.
    ProRes422 has a button for Automatic Gamma. One day they might add it to all the codecs - who knows.
    In the meantime you could just add a gamma curves effect and adjust it to be 0.3 darker.

  • I am traveling with my macbook pro and I forgot to install final cut express and quicktime pro before I left. How can I in a way download them for free on my laptop from where I am

    I am traveling with my macbook pro and I forgot to install final cut express and quicktime pro before I left. How can I in a way download them for free on my laptop from where I am? I need them and don't want naturally to buy them again!!!
    Thank you    

    Assuming you purchased QT Pro, you can always download it again at no extra charge by logging in to your Apple account.
    Regarding FCE, there is no way to download & install the product.  You need an original FCE install disk and your FCE serial number.
    Final Cut Pro X (aka FCPX) can be purchased & downloaded from the App Store.

  • FINAL CUT CRASH - FIRE WIRE PROBLEM

    Alright, this is just my last shot.
    I use final cut pro 3 to edit videos, and a miniDV sony camera too. (I even bought new fire wire cables to double check the problem)
    Always worked with them, no sweat.
    But once I upgraded my iBook with the latest OS version TIGER, my nightmare started. My iBook is the second latest one, still on warranty .....
    Final Cut crashes every time I open the LOG AND CAPTURE window. No way, it's impossible .... I tried to re-install the software. The only way (it seems really weird and odd) is to use iMovie to import them.
    It's very crazy. I tried the same in a friends computer, and apparently is his, just works fine.

    OHH Yes absolutly, I send my originals CD's to apple. I pay 49 dolars for the Crossgrade and Then I install everythiing. I have MY oun lisence all original. But I dont know what is going on.
