Final cut pro : Export failed - File too large

Hello
I'm trying to export a project in FCP 10.0.5.
It seems to work but when it reaches 45% the export stops and here's the message :
Export failed : file too large ...
Can anyone help me please?
Thank you,
Fred

The file size is about right but your sampling rate is wrong.
44.1 kHz is CD Audio standard. Digital video uses 48 kHz -you can use QuickTime Player to resample:
File > Export > Sound to AIFF. Click Options and then *Audio Settings* to change the sampling rate.

  • Final Cut Pro: Imported music files too large?

    I've imported a 10 min and 20 sec .aif audio file that is 104.2 MB currently in Final Cut. Does this seem like a correct file size? Is there any way to make the file smaller? Here's the other specs for the file:
    data rate: 172.3k/sec
    Aud rate: 44.1 KHz
    Audio Format: 16-bit integer
    I have other files of similar size for example a 6:43 music file that is 67.8 MB.

    I have exported a 3min video in HDef and it is 1GB! I don't understand why this is so large.
    you suggest file format to be AIFF; how do i export in this format and where do I change the sample rate to 48k? thanks.

  • Final cut pro export to youtube too lagre

    Although I used the FCPX-tool to create and upload a 8-min-HD-film, the upload ended, because the filesize was too large. Does the tool not reduce filesize & quality to create files which are accepted by YouTube?

    I tried exporting a 20min film to youtube and vimeo and kept receiving the message that the file size was too large. I also exported in quicktime format and then tried to upload to youtube but had the same problem.

  • Every video put into Final Cut Pro exports in horrible quality regardless of format/settings.

    Hello fellow Mac enthusiasts,
    I'm having a problem which may or may not have been plaguing my studio since day one. Every video that we edit in Final Cut Pro exports in MUCH lower quality than it was when it was imported, not only that, the file size of the newly exported video is several times the size of the original. What I end up getting is a file too large for our clients to email around. We recently had a client come into our studio with a flash drive full of 15 second avi's no larger than 900 KB, he wanted a few of them edited together with simple cross fade transitions, and even a few seconds of dead space cut out. He needed them to be the highest quality possible for a powerpoint presentation he may now be unable to give. At first I exported them as Uncompressed avi's, best quality, thousands of colors, and no sound. The resulting file was not only blurrier, but now 260.5 MB!! And that one was with zero edits! The original was 803 KB and crystal clear. So after that I decided to try a few tests. We also produce a bi-weekly hour-long local television show, which looks fine on television but now I'm wondering how much better it could and should look. I've been exporting that out as a Quicktime, Apple ProRes 442 HQ, Interlaced bottom-field-first, zero filters, both compressor native and NTSC 720 X 480. I attempted this method on the client's original 803 KB with zero edits and not only did it export a completely unusable video compared to the original, but it was now 57.1 MB. What is going on here? Is Final Cut conspiring against me? I'm guessing it's something in my settings which I'll shamefully admit I know absolutely nothing about. Could anyone help a struggling video editor do his job?

    Hey guys sorry it took me song long to respond it's been a busy week filled with many things not relating to final cut...
    In response to David's post, the original file is indeed larger than 720X480, though it's dimensions are not available to see in the 'more info' associated with the file itself. By comparison, the apple pro res LT file I exported through final cut of the same avi file is 720X480, and looks significantly worse.

    This was after I created a new project, made the sequence settings into Apple ProRes lt 30p under the audio/video settings in Final Cut, and exported it as the same with 'current' dimensions (it was listed as 850X637, maybe that was the original?) Although I did have to render the original avi itself once it was placed in the timeline. I guess there's no way to know exactly what sort of avi my original file is so I can match my sequence to it? The 'more info' (to be fair im sort of used to 'properties') leaves something to be desired..
    I guess my question is: what else can I change in my settings to leave the quality of the video intact, if anything?
    Thanks everyone.

  • MPG to Final Cut Pro , convert mpg files to FCP freely

    Why need to convert/import MPG files to Final Cut Pro?
    Final Cut Pro is the premium choice for any Mac video editing, and it is widely used by Mac users now. These MPEG standard files can be these different codes and cause failure in importing to Final Cut Pro. If anyone comes across the situation, the best solution is to get aids from MPEG/MPG to FCP converter for Mac, which can help you to convert MPEG group files to FCP compatible video format and then files can be easily imported for editing job.
    As we know that Final Cut Pro don't natively support MPG, MPEG, MPEG-1, MPEG-2 files, it can import MPEG-4 files (but need to be rendered once you place them on your timeline) and MOV files (without rendering). Therefore, to import MPG to Final Cut Pro directly, the best way is to convert MPG to Final Cut Pro supported Apple ProRes MOV files.
    How to convert MPG to Final Cut Pro(fcp)

    Import unsupported MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 to Final Cut Pro 7/X, Final Cut Express 
    Summary:If you are looking for the best way to transcode MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 videos to ProRes MOV for FCP 7/X and FCE, you can follow this post, it has offered best solutions for editing MPEG videos on Mac in Final Cut Pro 7/X, Final Cut Express. 
    Cases: 
    The following are two problems when some users import MPEG-1/MPEG-2 to Final Cut: 
    "I am trying to import MPEG-2 files into Final Cut Pro X. I have the raw files from a Sony Handicam HDR-SR5 as well as raw files from an Sony Handicam MDR-CX560. These files were recorded as MPEG-2 files and copied from the camera hard drives (entire folders were copied containind the MPEG-2 fies) to a local hard drive on my computer. Final Cut Pro X does not recognize the files and will not import them. I have tried to use Compressor to conver the fies. I am using the very latest version that touts being able to export to Final Cut X format. I don't see that option anywhere in the settings." 
    Question: 
    Is there a way to get MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 files into Final Cut Pro X without having to convert them? 
    Answer: 
    Don't try to work with (highly compressed) MPEG 2 in FCP X. Use software to convert to ProRes 422 first, it's best codec for final cut pro or final cut express. Life will be much easier for you if you do. ProRes 422 is roughly between 5 and 8 times bigger than native camera footage - sometimes as much as 10 times, I believe, but it's well worth it for editing, effects and playback quality. The time required depends largely on your processor power but 30 mins sounds realistic. 
    Software you need: 
    Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac 
    This software can convert MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 to Apple ProRes 422 codec for Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Pro 7, Final Cut Pro X or Final Cut Expr editing without rendering. 
    Step by step guide: 
    1. Download and install the best MPEG1/MPEG2 to ProRes Converter and launch it to add your videos to it. 
    2. Choose output format. Click on the “Format”> Final Cut Pro, Apple PreRes 422(HQ), Apple PreRes 422, Apple ProRes 422(LT), etc are all the proper choice for you. 
    3. Click "Settings" to adjust the parameters as you want, like Video Codec, bit rate, frame rate, Audio codec, sample rate, bit rate, channels. Set the video frame rate as 30fps, video size as 1920*1080 will be better. 
    4. Click Convert button to start MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 to Final Cut friendly Apple ProRes 422 for native editing on Mac OS X. 
    5. When the conversion ends, you can run the Final Cut Pro and click File --> Import --> Files to import the resulted MOV files and edit them in FCP easily, you can follow this import video to fcp guide. 
    From the steps above, I think you got the point to convert and import MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 files to Apple ProRes 422 for Final Cut editing, please have a try, this software will solve you MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 importing and editing problems, and then you can import and use your MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 in Final Cut Pro 7, Final Cut Pro X or Final Cut Express on Mac without any problems.

    The document “2147483647-11-06 06_00_00.FinalCutCopy” could not be opened. Final Cut Pro cannot open files of this type.
    I was importing media, and closed out of the media before stoping the media import. This is how the file saved on the hard drive.
    I need to get this file into a format that FCP can open. Is there a way to export a .FinalCutCopy file into a .mov file???
    Any insights would be VERY HELPFUL!

    I was able to figure it out. I renamed the file type to a .mov format and quicktime was able to open it. Then I saved that file format on the desktop, and imported in after I opened FCP. The file then imported and I was able to access the whole video clip I had! Thanks for your help!

  • Export through Final Cut Pro of .mov file results in non-viewable file...

    Hello,
    I recently worked on a film and had asked for a .mov version of the movie so I could get an uncompressed HD version in case I wished to use it for my demo reel (video for actors).
    I was present when the director exported it and he exported it from Final Cut Pro (the latest version) and he exported it as a .mov file.
    Well, I just tried opening the video and it does not work. In Quicktime, the error message:
    "The movie "movie.mov" can't be opened.
    You may need to install additional software to open this type of file.
    I'm thinking it might be a codec issue.
    Do you have any suggestions as to how the movie should be exported so that I avoid this type of error message?
    I tried opening the file in iTunes and I got the audio, but the video was black. Another clue that it's a codec issue.
    I just need a high quality (as uncompressed as possible) file that I can then add to an editing program and insert into my demo reel. I need the high definition format to be retained.
    As for the frame-rate, etc. I'm not sure. It was done with high quality and expensive video equipment and didn't use tape. I know it was high definition and widescreen as well.

    Nope, I don't have Final Cut Pro on my system.
    I clicked on Get Info and nothing about the codec appears.
    "Kind: QuickTime movie"
    "Size: 1.99 GB on disc" (it is about 6 minutes long; that I remember)
    "Title: movie.mov"
    "Last Opened" is the next and last thing that appears.
    I tried opening it using VLC and the movie just stops and starts throughout. It plays for just a second and then stops and I have to keep clicking the "Play" button to get it to keep playing.
    Actually, just now I tried it again in VLC and it just kept stuttering.
    From VLC, I chose Media Information and under Codec Details, the following appeared:
    Stream 0:
    Type: Video
    Codec: MPEG-1/2 Video (xdvd)
    Language: English
    Resolution: 1920x1080
    Frame rate: 23.976000
    Stream 1:
    Type: Audio
    Codec: PCM S16 LE (sowt)
    Language: English
    Channels: Stereo
    Sample Rate: 48000 Hz
    Bits per sample: 16
    Should I ask that the movie be re-exported using the ProRes codec???

  • Self Contained Final Cut Pro Export Files unreadable in New Final Cut Pro 7

    Has anyone come across this? I was using Final Cut Pro 5, created a self contained file of a current project 1.9GB in size. Uploaded the new version of Final Cut Pro 7 and upgraded to Snow Leopard, and now it tells me that this is unrecognizable as a movie file. Quicktime or Final Cut Will not open this file. I'm puzzled.

    Hi VideoJunkie
    I have not come across this. However, my previous FCP 6 Self-Contained Exported ProRes 422 standard (not HQ) files which are actually 1440 x 1080 will only playback in the new QT version 10 using that aspect ratio (whatever the actual screen ratio is at 1440 x 1080, I'm not sure, but the video width is squashed together... I suppose it has something to do with showing it in square pixels versus rectangle... or do I have that turned around. I'm not sure, I have always been confused about the ProRes 1440 x 1080 format, all I know is it plays back properly in 1920 x 1080 when I transcode it for DVD or ATV, iPhone etc..). In any case, you need QT player 7 (standard or pro version) to display these files at the intended aspect ratio of 1920 x 1080. The old QT Pro player version 7 will let you change this in the properties window, but the QT 7 standard player will not let you (those options are grayed out) and the new QT X player doesn't even show these options (i.e totally unavailable).
    Also, these previous files will play just fine (for me anyway) in FCP version 7. If you having a different issue where they will not play at all, then I'm not sure how to help you, but I just wanted you to be aware that my old self-contained files from FCP 6 do work (for me anyway) in the new FCP7 under Snow Leopard.
    (ADDED) I must ask, what codec were your previous exported self-contained QT movies? Do you have this codec on the commuter your trying to play your old master self-contained exports on?

  • PDW-HD1500 - Final Cut Pro export to Sony XDCAM error

    I have a sequence in Final Cut Pro with XDCAM HD422 1080i50. When I try to export going via the "File > Export > Sony XDCAM" menu, choose "XDCAM HD422 1080i50 CBR" and hit the "Export" button.
    On a 5 minute clip, I get this error message after 8% of exporting. In the system.log in Mac OS X there is a "write error 138" reported by the XDCAM exporter.
    If I set an out point to reduce the in-point to just 5 secons, the export is successful. If I try 1 minute, the export fails. If I check "recompress all frames" and export the 1 minute clip, the export is successful.
    Waiting for Final Cut Pro to recompress all frames takes too long on a new MacBook Pro 17-inch. 1 minute takes about 4 minutes to recompress.
    I am running Mac OS X 10.5.8, Final Cut Pro 6.0.4, QuickTime 7.6.4, XDCAM Transfer 2.11, and firmware version 1.51 on the PDW-HD1500.
    I have set the audio outputs of my sequence to 8 tracks dual mono discrete, and set each audio track to go 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 4-4 and so on. The video settings are XDCAM HD422 1080i50 50Mb.
    I have checked that the settings on the PDW-HD1500 is set to HD422, 50i, 8ch 24-bit. Are there any other settings I might have overlooked?
    Any suggestions? I would really appreciate some help.

    I've had experience wiith using 7toX and never had that message. Have you tried contacting the developer? My guess is they would be responsive.

  • Final cut pro dvd fails to share

    Over the past few months Final Cut Pro Share DVD fails most of the time. I tried restarting the program and my mac to no avail. I end up moving the video to my macbook and sharing the dvd on it. I am running OX 10.9.5  Final Cut Pro 10.1.3.

    The error message seemed to indicate an encoding problem – apparently to DVD specs. See id you can verify this by choosing Output Device>Hard Drive  in Settings in export dialog.  If it fails, leave FCP open and go inside the library bundle and open up the Shared Items folder. If there is an m2v file and  an AC3 file, drag them to the Desktop to save them from being deleted when FCP is closed down.
    Let us know what you find out.

  • IDvd 4.01 & QT/Final Cut Pro Exports, need advice

    Hi,
    In tests with small Quicktime exported movies from the timeline in Final Cut Pro 4.5 -- meaning NOT making a full, new self-contained QT movie but just a smaller "reference" file -- I was able to burn fine 2 and 5 minute tests.
    When I got to a longer (45 min) completed FCP timeline, and tried the same thing (dragging the exported reference file to iDVD), I had problems. Ran it overnight, and in the morning it was still in stage 3, and when I tried to stop it the whole computer crashed.
    It takes FOREVER for FCP to export a longer fully self-contained quicktime movie...I am wondering if anyone has any info/advice on whether idvd:
    -- has trouble working with these QT 'reference' files when they have to use/
    access rendered media in Final Cut pro.
    -- If it is worth the time to make a fully self-contained "separate" quicktime
    movie from Final cut pro before dragging it for iDVD to encode for DVD
    Thanks
    Brigitte

    Hi B
    Well a 45 min movie - to be coded as mpeg2 to a DVD disk takes time.
    on a dual G5 2GHz - about 60 min
    on a single G4 600MHz - about 10 - 20 hours
    make a diagram and find out what would be relevant to Your set-up.

  • Final Cut Pro exporting

    I just installed Final Cut Studio 2 and CS4 Web Standard and Production Premium. When I am in Final Cut Pro if I go to File - Export - Using Quicktime Conversion I do not get the option of Flash Video (FLV). I get this option on another machine I have with CS3 instead of CS4. Any idea why this option is not available on this configuration?

    Perhaps Adobe changed the nature of the export option.
    It appears to be an Adobe issue, based upon the description of your two machines.
    In any case, you can export as a reference movie and have far more controls using the Adobe Media Converter for flv.
    good luck

  • Final Cut Pro Export To You Tube blurry

    Hello there
    I have just finished editing an HD video using final cut pro. I output as a mater file and it looks great! Crystal clear!
    I then tried to upload to YouTube, the 360 version (lowest quality) is very blurred but the HD version is crystal clear? Problem is most peoples YouTube will default to 360 or 420 and the video just doesnt look good? I have not had this issue before? I have used a different camera this time, that is the only diference I can think of? I have also tried the direct upload to YouTube from FCP with the same result. I would have thought this option would use the optimum codec for YouTube?? So disappointed as the video looks great and dont want a blurry video being out there??

    YOuTube recompresses the video. Can you post a link to it?

  • Final Cut Pro exports very low quality video to DVD

    I tried exporting a timeline to a DVD from Final Cut Pro X 10.0.3 today. Every clip in the timeline was 1080x1920, but the DVD export menu insisted (without offering an option to change settings) that Final Cut export at 720x480. The Blu-Ray menu offers 1080x1920 exporting, though. Is there any way to get the app to export to DVDs at 1080x1920?

    Yes, you can create an AVCHD Disc which is basically Blu-ray quality on a cheapo standard DVD.
    Select Share>Blu-ray and in the window that opens make sure the Output Device is your DVD burner, not the hard drive.
    Note that you will only get about 35 minutes at the highest quality.
    If your video is longer the data rate will be reduced but should still produce good quality hi-def up to an hour or so.
    You must play the DVD in a Blu-ray player. It will not work in a normal DVD player.
