Final Cut X render/share

I was trying to share a 1.05 min video. It was taking an entire day to render, so I stopped it. Now it won't share at all! Any suggestions?

Trash preferences with this app. fron Digital Rebellion.
Turn off Backround Rendering.
Delete Project Render files from within FCP (under File after project is selected in library).
Create a new project. Copy the problem project. Paste the problem project into the new project.
Do a range selection of a short section and seee whether it will export as a master file.
Good luck.

My Final Cut Pro render files seem to end up in seemingly random locations.

I find my Final Cut Pro render files seem to end up in seemingly random locations on the HDD. for example, they will appear in a sub-folder of an unrelated project. I would like my render files destination to be in a sub-folder for the project I am working on. How do you tell Final Cut where to put the render files? Can't figure it out.

By default they are put inside your scratch folder, so if you change the scratch disk and forget to change it when you switch to a different project, your render files will be put inside the other project's scratch folder.
You can change this by going to Final Cut Pro > System Settings. If you click the Set button below your current scratch disk (not the one next to it) you can assign a second location just for the video / audio renders if you desire (this must be on a different disk though).

Final Cut Pro X share fails with QuickTime Error -50

Hello!
I'm facing a very annoying issue when trying to share my project from Final Cut Pro X. It used to work perfectly fine but now I'm getting consistently "QuickTime Error -50" after FCPX exported about 10% of my project. This can be reproduced with other project as well - one time I was able to export by restarting my machine but not anymore.
My configuration is a Mac Pro early 2008 with a ATI Radeon 5770. The only recent change I did to my config was to upgrade my old graphic cards to the Radeon 5770: do you think this can be the cause of this error?
Thanks for any help,
Jean

I am also expriencing the same error. Tried every solution listed so far:
1. Switch off background rendering. Trash render files. Don't render. Export.
2. copying the project within Final Cut Pro into another project
3. remove the following folder: Library > Application Support > ProApps > MIO > RADPlugins > XDCAMFormat.RADPlug
Nothing worked. I try to export to Vimeo, YouTube, and master. All error right at 9%
What's going on?

Final Cut Express Render Files

Hello all.
Just wondering what files are okay to delete in User > Documents > Final Cut Express Documents
I already have deleted most of the files inside of the folders, such as the render files, because I've already exported them as quicktime movies. But just before, after deleting various things, (such as audio renders, auto-saves, renders,) when I next opened up final cut express, it asked for my licensing details.
Did I do something wrong, and delete something I wasn't supposed to????
Thanks in advanced.

You can delete anything you want from the FCE Documents folder, but if you delete Capture Scratch files then any projects with those in them will be useless. Nothing in the FCE Documents folder would make it reset your licensing details.
However, if you accidentally deleted this file, FCE would again prompt you for your serial number and such:
*Macintosh HD > Library > Application Support > ProApps > Final Cut Express System ID*

Final Cut Pro (render) quicktime compressors

I have over 200 clips that I need to edit from my camcorder, and I don't have much space on my Mac for rendering. I recently leaned that to avoid rendering you can go into Sequence>Settings and then choose a compressor in the quicktime video settings, and all clips that use that compressor don't have to be rendered. The Clips are all Apple MPEG-2 SD that I imported onto my computer using iMovie'09. My mac can play these files perfectly, and I even had the MPEG 2 component before hand, but in Final Cut Pro in the sequence settings there is no "Apple MPEG-2 SD" in the compressor list. Is there anyway I can download one for FCP, or an alternative to avoid encoding/rendering?

MPEG 2 is a delivery format, not an editing format. You'll need to transcode those clips to a format that is FCP friendly first if you don't want to render after every edit.

Final Cut Pro Render/ export crashes

hello everyone,
i've been working on a very lengthy project which i am trying to finish up on final cut pro 5 but the problem is final cut is being extremely difficult and will not get through rendering or exporting a single thing without crashing. i don't know if it's ridiculously poor programming or the lack of a plugin that might be the problem. the details are that i recorded myself drawing on photoshop using snapzpro with apple's animation codec and set everything up in pro so that my drawing is time-lapsed and all i have to do now is render and export. i rendered the project once before and it went fine overnight, but it failed to render the cropping i had put in so when i came to render it again and it does nothing but crash, sometimes at 2%, sometimes at 0%. That colour wheel starts turning and never stops (even 9 hours after leaving my macbook) and this even happens when i try to render 2 seconds worth of footage (force quit also says final cut is not responding). truth be told i am extremely frustrated with final cut right now and would appreciate any support i could get on how to get this god awful thing to just work.
i tried using fcp rescue and closing all unnecessary programs but nothing worked. i just don't get why it rendered the first time through and now decides to crash all the time.
plz help, and thx.

You have two problems.
1. As David noted, you are running a non compatible version (PPC) of Final Cut Pro on your intel machine. This is not supported and will cause all sorts of quirky behavior. The only way to solve this issue is to upgrade to a universal binary version.
2. The animation codec is intended as a means to transfer files between programs in a lossless manner. It is not intended to be edited on low power machines and CERTAINLY not on the system drive. Things may work better with an edit friendly codec.
As far as the general crashing, there is no telling at this point whether your files are simply corrupted, the preferences are corrupted, the non-intel nature of the program is causing the crashes as you stress the process during renders or what.
If it is a corrupted file - pay attention to where the render fails. THe files around that point are suspect.
If it is a corrupted pref file, use a program like FCP Rescue 5 to delete the FCP preference files.
Good luck.

Final cut wont render

I've just come across a strange problem. Final Cut will no longer render out. When I click on render all, render video, etc, the task window bar pops up for a split second as it would when rendering, and then closes. I've tried rebooting, trashing preferences, and still nothing. My Final Cut is 5.0.4. There is plenty of room for render. it just wont. Any ideas? Thank you.

I don't know if this will help or not but...
I had a similar issues like this once. My issues were slightly different.
I work in DV NTSC. I use a lot of effects on my clips. I switch over to unlimited RT from Safe RT (Using the little RT button top left on the timeline) If you're in Unlimited RT mode you don't have to Render Unrendered footage to see it. FCPro will play through it as best it can. It'll be a bit jumpy but at least I don't have to render all the time. The kicker is that FC won't let me "render by selection". I get the same issues your describing. A little render window will flicker on screen for a second and then be gone and no rendering will occur.
In my case I either need to "render all" or switch back to safe RT mode and render by selection.
Like I said I don't know if this will help at all but worth a shot.
Good luck.

Final Cut Express render fault in Snow Leopard

I am only able to perform a Full Render in FCE4. If I wish to "Render Selection" or "Render Only" the render window briefly flashes before disappearing without rendering anything. Full rendering is obviously not a god thing as it takes ages each time, and creates massive files which are not necessary.
Any ideas... (I've tried binning all the pref files and all the usual stuff).
I have rebooted in 10.5.8 and all is working fine, so this is definitely a Snow fault.

You can delete anything you want from the FCE Documents folder, but if you delete Capture Scratch files then any projects with those in them will be useless. Nothing in the FCE Documents folder would make it reset your licensing details.

HT4775 Final cut pro tab share does not work with mountain lion V10.8

I have upgraded to mountain lion and since than the tab share in final cut pro X is not working anymore.
Any suggestions??? Thanks

Trash preferences and repair permissions in Disk Utility.
If that doesn't free Share up I'd drag app to trash, reinstall it and run repair permissions again.
Good luck.

BTW, not that it matters a lot, but this is the Compressor forum.

Final Cut Pro 7 - Share - Blu-ray - ERROR

Fresh install of OS and FCS.
Ran a quick test to make sure this would work:
File - Share - Blu-ray
Burned to disc then and there, and it was successful on an eleven second portion of the clip with an in and out point on the timeline.
The result was a beautiful Blu-ray quality 11 second clip recorded onto a DVD-RW, and it played back fine on a PS3. (AVCHD)
Extended the in and out point on the same clip in the same timeline in order to do a 20 minute version of the same thing. 2.5 hours later, it ejected my blank DVD I had already inserted, and asked me for a Dual Layer. I put one in, and it ejected that one, too. I kept trying different blank media and eventually it tells me:
There was an error burning your disc.
Operation could not be completed. (DSPPublishing error -1006.)
Hit "Try Again" and after a few minutes it says again,
Please insert the dual layer media to burn the
disc "name-Blu-ray".
Seems to be an endless loop. It's reporting the final size will be only 1.6GB, so I don't know why it's asking for a DL disc. I spoke to Apple today and they told me this feature was not compatible with DL media at all anyway.
If anyone can help...

Update and WORKAROUND:
I have been experimenting and here's what I've learned:
I'm thinking the new "Create Disc" is the cause. The encoded files generated by FCP7 and Compressor 3.5 are fine. One whacky theory of mine is the programmers made a typo where if you encode a file like this over 1GB the burn fails. I don't know, I'm just saying, it's probably something simple like that.
I spoke to Apple, too. First I had someone tell me it failed because I tried a clip larger than 25 minutes, so I tried 20, and it failed, too, the same way. (I also previously encoded a 3.5 minute clip and it was excellent.) This person also told me Dual Layer was not supported at all. He was completely wrong.
I called back and this time it was a guy named Bob. If you ever call and speak to him, just do him a favor and hang up on yourself and save him the trouble. He won't let you speak to tell him the problem, and even if you are calm and try he's the type to tell you to "calm down, sir." He literally told me "there is no Blu-ray feature" in the new FCS. I merely asked if he had seen the new Compressor and he told me he knew everything, and asked me to have a nice day before hanging up on me. I know he's an anomaly at Apple.
I called back and spoke to someone else, and they gave me this link:
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/burn_br_mac_superdrivestone.html
After I read it I thought, "that's exactly what I did!" But it doesn't work and that's why I'm calling. (Even that article reports odd bugs.)
I called again, just because I know this needs to be fixed. Finally I spoke to someone who passed it along, and they are going to look into it. Get this - he checked the FCS manuals and discovered that it is indeed a feature that should work. Maybe they will name the patch after me.
So I also found a solution in the meantime. I've read hints here and there, but this is what has just worked for me and I wanted to verify before posting and sharing it:
Do the encode with Share in FCP7 or Compressor 3.5. Screw what anyone tells you about "maximum size" or 25 minutes or even what Compressor tells you regarding the number of minutes of footage the disc will hold. It's wrong. And, it will support Dual Layer discs. Go by the file size in the summary, and that's it. (I'm talking about AVCHD here, nothing else. It's the Blu-ray setting and you can change it to AVCHD to burn on a DVD-5 or DVD-9, in the manual it says "red laser media.")
If you want to burn to a DVD-5 stay under around 4GB for your video, but you can experiment with the details. You have a minimum of 5Mbps and a max of 17Mbps in a VBR. Seriously, use whatever you want, as long as it will fit on the media. This is also about H.264, not MPEG-2.
Export to files, and make sure you do NOT burn from FCP7 or Compressor 3.5, because that will cause the problem. It will even completely ruin your blank media, but you may think it's still blank because they will be detected as blank media, even in other systems. But they cannot be used, ever again, merely for trying with "Create Disc."
In the end you will have two files:
movie.264
movie.ac3
If you have two files with those extensions and they don't have the exact same file name, rename them, but keep the extensions.
I used Toast 9. Blu-ray Video option. Add - locate the two clips with the same names with .264 and .ac3. They go in, deal with the ugly menus, but make sure you do this:
In the Encoding settings:
Custom
MPEG-4 AVC
Average Bit Rate: to whatever you used in Compressor or FCP7.
Maximum Bit Rate: may as well set it to 17 (we're trying not to re-encode the files)
Motion Est - Best - check the Half-PEL box
Reencoding - Never (that might make the above a waste, but it only took a couple seconds so stop complaining.) Set the rest to the same settings in the same way.
Choose your blank media and burn it, and few seconds later you can slap it into your PS3 and watch the creamy smooth silky beautiful encode right there.
I read somewhere it retains the FCP color settings and that's probably why doing it this way is a thousand times better than using Toast to encode (which skips really bad in my tests). I've also tried Encore and it was ugly and looked like it skipped frames.
Anyway, "Create Disc" may not work right now, but the encodes are amazing. I hope this helps others from banging their heads against the wall, and from calling Bob. I just burned a 2 hour movie onto a DVD and played it back on a PS3!
For further reading, here are some interesting links I found:
http://www.shedworx.com/revolverhdmac-faq
- Talks about Apple's support of H.264 "High Profile" - they type needed for AVCHD and Blu-ray movies.
http://manuals.playstation.net/document/en/ps3/current/video/filetypes.html
- PS3 supported file types.
http://blogs.adobe.com/davtechtable/2008/03/updated_march_2008_workingwi.html
- Interesting times of various encodes on different systems. For Encore, but comparable to Compressor for time differences.
If this has helped you, Apple owes me some money, and you're welcome.

Final Cut Pro X share operation failed

Recent error message when sharing to custom compressor settings stating Share operation [project name] Failed (com.apple.Compressor.CompressorKit.ErrorDomain error -1.). Unsure why 30sec 720 x 576, 16:9 won't share to custom settings 1024 x 576, 1:1. Always has in the past. No change in filetype or codec. Any guesses? Have emptied render files etc..

Update to 10.0.9 and see whether it's fixed.

Final Cut Pro X - Share - Export Media - H.264 - Audio is panned to the left?!

My video has a soundtrack that is a stereo .WAV that I can play in QuickTime with no problem.
I added the .WAV to my FCPX project, exported H.264 of the finished video, and when I play the resulting file in QuickTime, the audio is panned to the left. There is still some stereo separation but it's like the right channel has been turned down. Alternately playing the video and the original .WAV in QuickTime makes it extremely obvious, but it's actually noticeable (and very annoying) even without the comparison.
Does this happen to anyone who exports H.264 via the Share -> Export Media menu item, or is it something in my project? (I didn't do anything to the audio apart from dragging it onto the timeline - I tried deleting the audio and dragging the file back on again but it still ends up panned to the left in the output).

It was set to Surround and 48Khz. I set it to Stereo (and 44.1Khz for good measure, as that is the sample rate of my soundtrack) and then re-exported to H.264, and now the audo is perfectly centered.
So that's perfect, thanks.
Now the only thing wrong with FCPX is how it crashes every ten minutes or so!

Final Cut Fails to Share

Hello
I hope you can help as I am no longer able to share projects to DVD since upgrading to v 10.1
I get error
com.apple.compressor.compressorKit.ErrorDomainerror -1
Any clues?
Thanks in advance

Just to add to Tom's advice, the Compressor folder you trash is the one in your Home folder.
Also, I ran into that problem oftrying to delete an old batch. Try clicking at the top of the batch – like so – and see whtherr it makes a difference.
