General error when i try to render my project

What does this mean? How do i fix this?

Computer model?
Version of Mac OS X, QuickTime, Final Cut Studio?
Video format that you are working with?
FCP's Sequence Settings?
Location of the media files on your computer?
Amount of free space on the hard drive that you are writing to?
Little things like that and anything else that you feel might be of importance.

I'm getting the message -50 error when i try to export my project on iMovie '09. What does this mean??

Hi
Error -50 paramErr Error in user parameter list
Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ? Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
free space on internal boot hard disk? How much ?
Video codec
streamingDV, AIC etc. (not .avi, .mp4, .m4v, .wmv etc as they are containers not codecs)
Pictures
in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
Audio
from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
iMovie/iDVD preference file
The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file or "com.apple.iDVD.plist"
Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
_ Library - at root level
_ Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into
from Luke Burns
I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..

You need more free space on your hard drive.
Where do Your material come from
Camera
External hard disk
USB-memory
And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?

After phone support from apple I ended up creating a new project and adding all 117 clips back in individually till I found out what clips flagged and would not allow me to export. I had 3 I deleted and replaced and everything works now 1hr after tedious work....
from Karsten S
Shorter clips than 1,5 sec might be one of the culptrits
Bengt cont.
Set-Up might differ
Mac OS - most probably X.7 or more
iMovie version - more than iM'11 v. 9.0.4
Action taken
Finalizing project - I never do as I never understood the gain to do so
Share as HD to iDVD - never give any gain but if it works the resulting DVD is less quality than if SD-quality was shared
fps - set - I only use PAL (25fps)

Error when I try to render

Hello,
I just downloaded a template on the internet and I want to render it now, But when i try to render it I get the error:
2 footage files required to render composition "Template by IntroArtZ" are missing.
How can I fix this?

Do you know the difference between normal type and ITALIC type? Find the italic type! Those are the missing files! Now, where are they? How should I know? It's your machine, not mine! I don't know where you stored the files!
But here's how you reconnect the file: you double-click on a missing file in the AE project window, navigate to the folder where the missing file is located, and double-click on the file to signify that you found it. If the other missing files are in the same folder, AE will find them, too.

has anyone experienced this
before and might be able to help? Thank you!

For what it's worth, given the age of this question, I've found that stopping and starting the Project Application Service on each server via Central Admin is less disruptive to the rest of your farm when using Project Server in a larger SharePoint
farm.
IISRESET will cause active user sessions to be disconnected and could result in lost data.
I also found that recycling the app pool associated with my Project Server web application in IIS and restarting the web site did not resolve this situation so the IISRESET is not a guaranteed fix.
Targeting only the Project Application Service from Central Admin removes this minor risk and actually restored access to our Project Sites.

"File not found" error when I try to render an animated menu (on mac) Encore CS4

I'm making a dvd with at least 2 animated menus. It means that I have a 1 movie in the background of each menu. Over my background, I have 3 thumbnail buttons which contain a small piece of movie animated movie too. When I try to to view my menus, in order to see the animation in the background and in the thumbnails I need to render the animation through File - Render - Motion menus.
The problem is that it works for the first menu but then when I continue my navigation to the second menu that has animation in background and thumbnails too, if I choose Render Motion menus,after 3/4 of the rendering it says "file not found" even if all the files are well in place in their folders.
Does anyone would have an idea of how to resolve this stupid problem that prevents me to burn my project on a DVD since the same errors will appear during the burning process (I use a mac with Encore CS4). Is it a bug? What are the solutions? Thanks for answering.
Steven.

SteveDVD,
The use of the .WMV was because that was part of the Library .EM template. I would not anticipate problems with other formats, so long as they are supported and the same for all of your Menus in the Project.
If you have done several Motion Menu Renderings, you might want to clear Encore's Media Cache, just in case it is still referencing previous Render files.
And yes, the re-Importation should yield the same result as Linking/re-Linking.
Unfortunately, I do not have CS4, so I can't test this for you. There do seem to be a few real Bugs in the various CS4 programs, and maybe this is one?
That "File Not Found" rings a bell in my feeble brain. Seems that there was a post on that, but I do not remember it being related to Motion Menus. Maybe search will yield something of use.
Good luck,
Hunt

Still getting errors when I try to render

I've been working on a title and last week when i went to render
I got an error message saying:
"After Effects error: crash occurred while invoking effect plug-in "Shatter".
then followed by a second message
"After Effects error: Crash in progress. Last logged message was <6492> <getdepthpinflags> <5> 32:32 bit
and finally
"After Effects can't continue: sorry, After Effects has crashed. See http://www.adobe.com/support/products/aftereffects.html for known issues. If you still can't resolve this issue, please contact Adobe Technical Support (2).
it then asks me to save and crashes.
it also crashes when i go to Ram preview
I posted a question online as to what I need to do to fix it and was told my lack of RAM was the problem as I had 4GB, I've now bought 16GB and still am having this problem.
Do I have to do something on After effects to get the RAM working right now? or do I need to buy something else??
I have 16 GB of ram
I'm using windows 7
After effects CS5.5
The project is 1280-720 size, HDTV 720 29.97, 6 seconds long. The footage is a title with effects
heres a link to the rest of the specifications for my computer: HP Support document - HP Support Center
thanks

Here is what you should do to trouble shoot your problem.
Open up the composition that is giving you problems
Your error message tells you that you are having problems with the Shatter effect so select the layer with the shatter effect and turn the effect off
Try a ram preview
If the ram preview is successful add a solid to your comp
Copy your shatter effect and paste it to the new solid you created
Turn off all other layers
Try a ram preview
If the ram preview crashes go back to step 6 and reset shatter and try again
If the ram preview is successful start adding the properties from your original shatter effect until you get a crash.
If the ram preview works the first time you try step 6 then there is something wrong with the combination of shatter and the original layer it was applied to so remove shatter from that layer, pre-compose that layer moving all attributes to the new layer then paste the working shatter from the solid to the pre-comp, turn off the solid and try another ram preview.
Do you kind of get the procedure here. When something is causing a crash first isolate that problem, try it on something simple, then try different things until you can reproduce the crash. Make sure you are saving copies of your project so you can easily go back.
If you can't figure out what settings in Shatter are causing the crash then we need to know everything there is to know about your composition and see a screenshot or the project file. If it is the footage that is causing the crash then you need to transcode, recompress, or in some other way change the format of the footage. There is nothing we can surmise from the details you have given us that give us any clue why shatter is crashing. It usually does not. I can't think of the last time it caused a crash for me. The only possible thing I can think of that would be causing a crash is that the number of particles is causing your system to run out of memory.

Help!! Error message: "File Exists" when I try to render the project

It is rendering one of my menus, it has a video background. It gets to the very last frame and then the thing pops up and says "File Exists" And I can only press OK, and when I do the rendering stops. What is wrong?? I need this to work by today please help!!

I have the same problem. Although, after I delete it I still can't render the menu. It shows that its rendering and when it reaches 100% it goes back about 5% (to about 95% complete) and starts moving towards 100% again, then back and forth endlessly.
When I hit cancel I see that it puts files in the project Sources\Menus folder... but when I preview still no motion video and when I try to re-render, I get the error message that "File Exists" all over again.
Any ideas?

Strange "Out of Memory" error when I try to render

I've had this error before, but I could get it to stop if I messed around for a bit. But today I can't get it to go away, even after restarting. Much more complex sequences have been rendered before. This particular section has a background still, a repeating video clip and three still images above it with luma keys on them. At first the 3 stills were jpegs, so I reconnected them to pngs, but that didn't help.
The Mac Pro I'm using has a 2.66 Quad-Core Xeon and 8GB of 1066 DDR3.
Any suggestions?

Make sure all the stills are RGB - not CMYK or Grayscale.
Also, the video should be a FCP native format like ProRes - not h.264 or AVCHD.

I am trying to edit a project originally started on another computer, by someone else and saved onto an external h-drive, but keep getting 'general error 48' when I try to render it to work further. Can anyone help?

I am trying to edit a project originally started on another computer, by someone else and saved onto an external h-drive, but keep getting 'general error 48' when I try to render it to work further. Can anyone help?

Is this problem only occurring with the project you copied from an external drive, or with any FCP project?
For example, if you were to create a new project, do you still have this problem?
In FCP, if you go to the menu FInal Cut Pro > System Settings and look at the Scratch Disks Tab, is it set where you expect it to be? Have you tried switching the scratch disk to a different disk?

I'm getting an error Out of memory message when I try to render - There's lots of memory

I'm getting an error Out of memory message when I try to render - there's lots of memory and I've never gotten this before - any ideas?

Thanks - I did go through and change all the profiles to Apple RGB, there are several to choose - but I'm still having problems - I think it has to do with corrupt images - Im backing up and starting over - I've worked with images large and small for years and never had this problem - thanks

Error messages when i try to render

i have after effects on windows xp and when i try to render it i either get the message "the directory originally specified in the selected output no longer exists" or it gives a message that says access denied. i have tried changing the drive im saving it to as well as the name with no result. Any suggestions?

Please provide more info where you are actually trying to save (System directories?), what type of disks (SATA, Firewire, internal, external) and that sort of thing. Please also provide info about the operating system and file formats. Most commonly this error occurs with network drives that disconnect or loose their authentication info or external drives that go into idle mode after a while for energy saving, but without exact specs it's impossible to guess what's going on. Could also be any number of permission issues or combinations of the various conditions.

QuickTime Error:-23 in compressor when I try to render any sequence

QuickTime Error:-23
I have been getting this error in Compressor when I try to render out of FCP and have tried reinstalling FCP and Compressor and then QuickTime 7.6.4. Has anyone ever seen this.
I am running OS 10.5.8 FCP 6.0.6 and QuickTime 7.6.4
Thanks in advance

Ok I am going to answer my own question.
I just uninstalled the matrox mxo2 software to run the device. Now I can render out of compressor. I guess I have to find a way to run both. I have to go to matrox and get find out how to get this to work.

When I try to render, it states "File Error:Access Denied"

When I try to render, it states "File Error:Access Denied". I am working with FCP 6.0.3 and am connected to a RAID with other FCP systems tied into it. Any ideas on what this means or how to fix it? Is it a permissions issue? If so, I don't understand how that works. Help!
Steve

Steve, I have the same problem... sometimes!
I have isolated it mostly to my audio files... I used to be able to use .mp3 just fine in FCP 5, but in 6, it seems to really have an affection for .aiff But today, I had to make sure the sample rate was the same! Ugh... so after re-sampling my music to match my other audio on the timeline (44.1) I'm all good...
Hope this helps... I also tried the permissions, etc... and had no needed repairs... and yes, my capture drive is set correctly, and the ownership is ignored, etc.
