Final Cut Pro difficulty exporting QuickTime movie out to external drive

Hi every one I hope some one can help me figure out why whenever I export a Quicktime movie and save it on an external LaCie drive, two files come out with the same name but one has an -av1 extension. And if I delete that file the original movie doesn't play.
Any one has any idea???
please help!
thanks.

Your external drive is probably formatted as MS-DOS. It has a file size limit of either 2Gb if formatted as FAT16 or 4GB if formatted as FAT32.
In either case, reformat the drive to Mac OS Extended. You will lose any material on the drive in the reformat process unless you copy it to another drive.

CODEC is the compression method you used
ie: MPEG2 is the CODEC for DVD's
MPEG4avc (h.264) is a high quality high compresion codec that is the basis for the BluRay and HD-DVD formats upcoming

Additional Problems exporting quicktime movie out to ext. drive

I saw the previous discussion and will reformat my hard drive (Thank you for that info!!!), but can I copy these files (with av attached) to another drive and put them together again as a qt movie? I've captured many hours and would like to use what I've done already. When I open the original av file, qt asks me to open other associated files, and they all play together on the screen. But I can't save them. When I've tried to save them as other formats, they just get saved as audio files, even with avi or dv extensions.

Example, I captured a file I called Tape4broll. Instead of getting a qt file of that name with .mov extension, I got Tape4broll-av, Tape4broll-1-av, Tape4broll-2-av, Tape4broll-3-av. When I got to look at the files, when I open the first one, -av, it says it needs -1-av, so I locate that, then it says it needs the next one, -2-av, etc. When all are located, the file opens, the audio and video are there, but then I can't save that, can't save as, can't export as .avi or .dv. So I've got the working video and audio on the desktop but can't do anything with it.

Final Cut Pro X Export Speed Problems

I'm having problems getting any real processor speed out of my Final Cut Pro X exports. Whether I do a direct native Pro Res export straight from FCPX or send to compressor with the same settings, or even change them to H.264 or something else, i more often get processing that looks like the included picture, barely one processor being tapped. Sometimes ill get 50 percent which is probably all direct export is meant to use, seems like Qmaster distributed processing still doesn't work here. Once i get the file out and then bring that into Compressor 4 I get no issues, can get 50 percent with regular submit and full speed all cores running with Quickcluster submit. Any ideas why this is happening?
Just to be clear, these are native ProRes HQ clips, no effects, nothing, just selects I'm trying output, and since we can't do reference clips anymore, well....

TThe most common cause of this problem is that the media hasn't been imported properly and is still referencing a camera card or archive. If you press Cmd-E and no dialog appears, this can be one cause.
BTw, this is primarily a user to user forum, so no one here really cares if you go and use Premiere.

How does final cut pro x export a file if it has not finished rendering?

How does final cut pro x export a file if it has not finished rendering?
So today I finished a project: Share >Export > as a pro res 422 and I'm now burning with iDVD as we speak. FCPX is still doing background rendering! I hope my DVD turns out ok....

You don't need to render before export.
Rendering is for playback.
If your project plays OK from the storyline, you can safely turn off rendering in preferences.

Final cut pro X export files bigger than originals

I got two WMV files, each file size about 500mbs, I converted them to mp4 using permute. Afther converting, each file size about 490mbs.
Then I open the mp4 files with final cut pro, I just want to mend the two clips together, it's that simple. I finish puting the clips adjacent to each other. Then hit export and chose encoding method .h264.
When final cut finished exporting, the movie is over 4GB in size.
Why is it so big ? the orginal files combined size is just about 1 GB.

File numer 1
format :H.264, 1,280 x 720 AAC, 48000 Hz, Stereo (L R)
FPS: 29.97
data size: 1.23 GB
data rate: 3.64 Mbit/s
current size: 1,280 × 720 pixels (Actual)

Final cut pro not exporting to youtube?

Final cut pro isnt exporting to youtube? why is this and what can i do to fix it?
Also says keyword: too_long ?

Isn't exporting to YouTube? Why? Can't see your computer. What's happening on it?
Are the keywords in the export tags too long?

Hi I shoot on a canon 5d mk11 and I record my audio on an external device yet when I open up my footage in final cut pro x I can't find my external audio files only the ones attached to the clip which are off the camera mic

I shoot on a canon 5d mk11 and I record my audio on an external device yet when I open up my footage in final cut pro x I can't find my external audio files only the ones attached to the clip which are off the camera mic

What device?
What format?
How are you importing it?
Can you find the external audio with Finder?
Where is your destination file when you import it?

Final Cut Pro X, Export to Youtube fail says, QuickTime Error: -50

Im having trouble with Final Cut Pro X every time I try to export my project to Youtube a quarter way through processing it stops and says QuickTime Error: -50 How do I fix this?

I'm going to guess that you have a problematic clip(s) that FCP isn't happy with. Is your project all from the same source (camera, download, rip, etc
Also, how long is your project? There was a recent post where I was convinced that he had a corrupted clip and it turned out simply that the file size was too big.
But your error code indicates clip trouble.

QuickTime X: do I need Final Cut Pro to watch QT movie?

We hired a producer to film a teen educational video. I have the .mov versions saved but Quicktime X won't play them.
I get the message "QT can't play this file". When I choose 'more info' I get the message below. Is there an alternative to purchasing Final Cut Pro?
QuickTime Player: Playing media supported by Apple video editing applications
Last Modified: August 27, 2009
Article: HT3523
Summary
Apple video editing applications use codecs that add support for media formats used during editing and by certain video cameras. QuickTime Player can play many of these media formats if the appropriate video editing application is installed on your computer.
Products Affected
QuickTime 7 (OS X), QuickTime X
Final Cut Studio installs the following codec components:
Apple Intermediate Codec, AVC-Intra, DVCPRO HD, HDV, IMX, Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2, and XDCAM HD/EX/HD422.
Final Cut Express installs the following codec components:
Apple Intermediate Codec, Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2

If the files were made by FCP it's possible that the codecs used would also only be supported by machine that have FCP installed.
Ask the authors to send you a file that uses H.264 video and AAC audio.

Final Cut Pro X Exported Video Size

I've recently bought Final Cut Pro X and use it for editing videos before uploading to YouTube. I used to export my videos from iMovie as a .mov file to my hard drive to then manually upload to YouTube. There doesn't seem to be this option in Final Cut, so I've taken to using the YouTube share feature but it never uploads so I just manually upload the .mov file that it saves somewhere in the Final Cut shared files folder.
The problem I have is that I export a 720P file so assumed that the video size would be 1280 x 720, it always was with iMove. I've found that Final Cut spits out the video at 1248 x 702 and this is quite annoying as it sometimes cuts off the top and bottom of a video. Is there any reason why it does this or any way to get it to export at the correct display size?

How can I change the size? Normally I export at 720P in iMovie and the video and format are both 1280 x 720. I did a screencast using Quicktime and due to the change in display size it's chopped off the toolbar at the top and a small portion of the dock. I've had to resize the clip in Final Cut to 95% of the original size to get it to fit in the 1248 x 702 size that it chooses to put it in.
As this was only a screencast the file size tends to be this small, but normally I shoot at full HD on my camcorder and the video can be about 10 mins in length. I used the export media function and the resulting file was about 8GB in size! iMovie would typically give me a .mov file anywhere between 700MB - 1.5GB depedning on the length of the video and that suited me fine, but there doesn't seem to be any way to get it that small using the Export Media. Not much of a problem really coz I'm fine using the YouTube share option to get what I want.

After Effects, Final Cut Pro HD, and QuickTime 7

Hello friends,
I just wanted to point out a problem I have experienced with QuickTime 7 when using After Effects and Final Cut Pro HD. If this has already been covered by someone else on the forum, please forgive my unnecessary post.
I am used to working in AE 6.5 and FCP 4.5 and exporting/importing QT files between the two programs.
After I downloaded QT 7 (Pro version) with iTunes 6, I discovered that when I export an AE 6.5 clip using the "Export-->QuickTime Movie" menu option, I cannot open the QT file in FCP 4.5. FCP 4.5 tells me that it does not recognize the file. (However, when I use AE's "Export-->DV Stream" option, FCP 4.5 will recognize the file, but it has to render the clip.)
I decided to reinstall QT 6.5.2 (Pro version), and after that everything worked fine (I re-exported the movie using AE's "QuickTime Movie" option, and I was able to open the file in FCP 4.5 with no problems).
Have any of you experienced this problem, or something similar? Do you suppose this is something Adobe might address with a software patch? Or Apple?
Chris
P.S. I downloaded all of the QT 7 patches that Apple released, including the recent QT 7.0.4 and encountered the same problem with AE & FCP every time. This is a problem, of course, because if I choose to stick with QT 6, I will be unable to enjoy the new videos offered at the iTunes 6 store.

Hi David,
Thank you for your reply. Honestly, I am really new to AE, so I am not very familiar with the render queue. When I had QuickTime 6, I would just use the "Export-->QuickTime Movie" menu and then open that file up in FCP. This was a fast and easy process for me. But now, after installing QT 7, I cannot do that, because FCP can no longer read the "QuickTime Movie" file I export from AE.
I will look up some more information on the AE render queue and try using that. Thank you for the tip.
Chris

Final Cut Pro X Exporting to Youtube with Canon 5D Mark ii

Hi,
I'm having problems exporting to Youtube with Final Cut Pro X. i convert the file and upload, but the audio is not syncing properly. The video is fine. Any tips on what to do? I'm using a Canon 5 D Mark ii. 24fps, 1080
Also does anyone know where the audio setting are on FCPX?
Thanks

Hi aussiearn
The process you suggested worked beautifully: images clear and true sound accurate.
I have over 100 30 to 60-minute videos to put on a client's YouTube channel. Using the YouTube settings in Compressor my first uploads colours were looking washed out, and the audio progressively slipped when played via the Safari browser. Your advice has fixed this issue, so thank you for taking the time to post.
To clarify what I understood your process to be for others who may wish to use it:
In FCPX choose 'Share' from the menu bar
Select 'Export Media'
In the options presented: 'Export' should be set to 'Video and Audio'; 'Video codec' as H.264; 'Audio file format' will be greyed out but show Quicktime Movie; 'Open with' will show 'QuickTime Player.app (default)'. Click 'Next'.
You'll be presented with 'Save As' options. Name the file and select where you want it to go on your drive(s), and click 'Save'.
Export will begin: my 6.84GB video, which was 45-minutes of 1920 x 1080 at 23.98fps, took about 35 minutes using a Macbook Pro 2.2 Ghz Intel Core i7 with 8 GB of RAM
When the export is complete the video should automatically open in QuickTime.
Within QuickTime go to 'File' on the menu bar and choose 'Export for Web', which is at the bottom of the drop-down menu
You'll be presented with a box that says 'Export versions of your movie optimized for web-delivery to iPhone and the desktop'. Pick what you want to name the file in the 'Export as' and then where you want it to go in 'Where' (obviously enough). You can save in three versions for different contexts, but I chose only to save as 'Broadband', with the best quality as YouTube will automatically create different versions later. Click 'Export'.
An 'Export Progress' box should appear. My file took around 45-minutes to process.
At the end of the process you will find a folder with your chosen name, rather than a file. Click on tha folder, then click on the 'Resources' Folder you will find in side. Amongst other files you'll find a .m4v file with 'broadband' at the end of the name. Rename the file and change the suffix '.m4v' to '.mp4' and upload to YouTube.
As you said this seems to save a lot of time compared to compressor (perhaps half the time?) The file that began the process at 6.84 GB ended as 1.16 GB, and looks and sounds great.
Thank you,
Nigel

Why does our Final Cut Pro Batch Exports incorrectly name sequence files?

Why does our Final Cut Pro 7.0.1 Batch Exports incorrectly name sequence files?
For example I can Batch Export 10 sequences one of which is called:
"899-006TL013 It's Not Your Fault 800-509-2875"
Then the output for some of the files are along the lines of:
"899-006TL013 It's No#61386E.mov"
I have seen this happen with 1-6 files or not at all... is it just dumb luck?
What is going on here and is there any way to avoid or remedy this issue?
We first thought having the render destination window open caused it but that was not the source.
Any ideas?

I've run into the same problem with FCP 7.0.2 when exporting from the sequence using File --> Export --> QuickTime Movie. I exported a file today called "BSP - 01 - How You Can Be Sure You Are A Christian" and it came out as this "BSP - 01 - How You Can#1630". This is getting to be annoying. I also need to name these files the length they are. I'm hoping someone may see this and have a suggestion (besides shortening the file name). It seems like I've also seen this on shorter file names, but at the moment I can't prove it.
