Need help ASAP - General Error (No Number)

Hey everyone, so I'm trying to edit a 1920 x 1080 Pro Res 422 (HQ) sequence and not matter what I do, I consistently get a general error during playback. It should be noted that the project and all it's attributed files sit on an 2TB external drive hooked up via FW800. It makes no sense, and is unbelievably frustrating that Apple would have something soooo generic with no specificity to even know where to start addressing the problem. Tried trashing prefs, tried reconnecting media, tried render manager, tried exporting an XML... still happening...
What do I do?!

I'm trying to edit a 1920 x 1080 Pro Res 422 (HQ) sequence .... all it's attributed files sit on an 2TB external drive hooked up via FW800
A single stream of ProRes HQ at 1080p30 runs at ~30MB/s. FW800 drives when empty and of excellent design can only push out ~70MB/s. Put a few files on that drive and the throughput drops noticeably. Then, try to run a couple of streams and you have a recipe for problems.
A couple of suggestions -
ProRes HQ is way overkill for anything other than projects that originated on 35mm film and are headed back that way. Heck, standard ProRes is overkill for any material that originated on a camera that records in a highly compressed format (AVCHD, H.264, etc). ProRes LT is a reasonable alternative and worth trying (LT @ 1080p30 runs ~14MB/s)
If you must stay with ProResHQ, invest in an ESATA RAID system. I'm particularly fond of the Caldigit HDOne. In RAID 0 it can push out over 400 MB/s. Easily enough for HQ material.

  • Need help asap with Error #2109!

    Need major help in an error that is driving me crazy! I have a movie clip button, however, once you click on it the output will say:
    ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label instance15 not found in scene Scene 1.
    at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndStop()
    at index_fla::MainTimeline/goLabel()
    i am new in flash and trying to learn as3.  i've looked at what error this is but i cant get my head around it.  what i m trying to do it if you click on a button, a swf file will load on the the page. but it is not loading and the error comes up!
    my code is:
    function goLabel(e:MouseEvent):void
    gotoAndStop(e.target.name);
    if anyone knows how to solve this problem please help! let me know if i need any other codes, but this should be it!
    thanks. i am about to go bald.

    Do you have a frame on your timeline that is labeled as "instance15"?
    The code you show will do nothing in the way of loading an swf.... gotoAndStop is a timeline command, not a file loading command.

  • Need help asap. Error. Cannot connect at all with my iPod.

    My iTunes brings a pop-up saying that my mobile device app is installed wrong and I have redownloaded iTunes 5 times to try and fix this. Now when I try and hook up my iPod it says that the mobile device app needs to be newer so reinstall iTunes and the mobile app. I have 5 times. I really would like to be able to connect my iPod soon. Thank you.

  • Error when extracting data with extractor 2lis_04_matnr - NEED HELP ASAP !!

    Hi experts!
    Got an error when extracting data with extractor 2lis_04_matnr.
    System says (short dump):
    DUMP TEXT START----
    Runtime error:    CONNE_IMPORT_WRONG_COMP_TYPE
    Exception:   CX_SY_IMPORT_MISMATCH_ERROR
    Error when attempting to import object "MC04P_0MAT_TAB".
    The current ABAP program "SAPLMCEX" had to be terminated because one of the statements could not be executed. This is probably due to an error in the ABAP program. When attempting to import data, it was discovered that the data type of the stored data was not the same as that specified in the program.
    An exception occurred. This exception is dealt with in more detail below. The exception, which is assigned to the class 'CX_SY_IMPORT_MISMATCH_ERROR', was neither caught nor passed along using a RAISING clause, in the procedure  "MCEX_BW_LO_API" "(FUNCTION)".                                                                             
    Since the caller of the procedure could not have expected this exception      
    to occur, the running program was terminated.                                
    The reason for the exception is:  When importing the object "MC04P_0MAT_TAB", the component no. 5 in the dataset has a different type from the corresponding component of the target object in the program "SAPLMCEX". <b>The data type is "D" in the dataset, but "C" in the program.</b>
    DUMP TEXT END----
    Please, can someone explain me how to solve it? 
    Really need help ASAP!
    Thanks in advance,
    Jaume

  • My Curve 9300 lost service need help ASAP

    I lost all serivce on my blackberry curve 9300 and the only way I get service is if I go outside my house. Sometimes I get service in my house but it's for 5 seconds and then I get "searching for network" then it goes to "SOS" I need help ASAP.

    My carrier won't do anything about it because I'm not an authorized user of the account which is stupid. I wasn't having a problem with service for about a year and yesterday my service just cuts out for no apparent reason.
    Hello...well, that's a bit disconcerting...aiding and abetting what could be an unethical use of service...but I'm hopeful that there are further details that mitigate that suspicion. In any event, review this KB for perhaps helpful information:
    KB03448 Network status indicator shows "SOS" on the BlackBerry smartphone
    It is possible that they have a tower out, and you now are receiving service from a more distant tower, which does not have adequate signal strength to work through the walls of your house. But, sadly, there is no way for you to actually find out if such is the case or not.
    Good luck!

  • I'm restoring my iPhone right now, need help ASAP

    So I've had a corrupt file that's been taking up 7GB in my 'other' stuff on my iPhone 5 so I'm finally restoring it right now, but I'm guessing the backup data with have saved whatever that corrupt file is in it.
    So 3 questions: • If I don't want to backup now but for some reason decide I want to in a say a day or so what would I do?
                             • Can I restore my phone from my iCloud backup, if so how?
                             • After restoring my iPhone will it create new backup data that will wipe over the already existing data with the corrupt file in it or what?
    Thanks for any help/advice, I'm in the middle of doing this so need help asap if anyone can help.

    1. make a backup any time you want.
    2. Yes, if you have a iCloud backup
    Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
    3.Yes on computer it will replace the old backup. (I suggest you manually delete the backup first)
    iTunes > Preferences... > Devices > select backup and click the Delete button.

  • Stuttering flv playback issue- need help asap

    We need help asap. Have a project is due to deliver today (5/14).
    We have a video to go on a dvd-rom, live action with Motion Graphics behind.
    When output is done thru Projector the Motion Graphics stutter as they scroll.
    Here is more technical info:
    Stuttering flv playback issue:
    Prores 422 timeline 29.97fps 1280x720 output from fcp using current settings.
    Mov file is approx 7gb, plays relatively smooth on a mac pro with no raid.
    Frame by frame analysis shows all frames are present with no jumps tears or skips.
    Tried several output paths, programs and settings to create a smooth flv file to no avail.
    We adjusted data rates from 2k, 3.5k, 4k and 8k, no luck
    We adjusted keyframe rates from low to all frames, no luck.
    We tried cs3 flash encoder, cs5 media encoder, squeeze ect, same results.
    Playback in the flash projector seems to choke slightly no matter what we do.
    Have also posted in the Director Forum.
    Any help much appreciated!

    Here are a few ideas off the top of my head:
    Try playing the file using a different xtra, sometimes different ones will work better.  If you have Director 11.5, there is a native flv playback xtra.
    You can build a player easily in Flash using the flvPlayback component, then bring that into Director as a swf.
    Once you have the video in Director, try making the member Direct To Stage (DTS).  If it is already DTS, try making it not DTS.
    Make sure the video is not transparent, and nothing in Director overlaps the video... in fact, when the video is playing, nothing should be moving at all, and try to keep the amount of code that is running to a minimum.
    Try lowering your video's data rate further or try using a different codec.
    Using VBR (Variable Bit Rate) compression often makes the video appear to play smoother.
    Try compressing the flv with different software.  FFMpeg, for example, is free and does a very good job, often better than the Flash Video Encoder that comes with Flash/Creative Suite.

  • My ipod says i have no music on it, but when i plug it into itunes, and look under music on my ipod, its all there. NEED HELP ASAP!!!!! all the music came from a computer which i no longer have, so my ipod is the only place where that music is.

    This morning, i downloaded about 16 songs to put on my ipod, and i manually dragged them over to my ipod to sync that way (like i always do because the music on my ipod came from a different computer which I no longer have) and on my way to work, i realized my ipod says "no content" under Music. However, when I plug my ipod into itunes and click on the music tab under my ipod name, all of my music is there. What happened and how do i get that music back on my ipod? I need help asap.

    You had a glitch and the music files got corrupted. I know of no way to uncorrupt them.
    You can try using a computer app like iFunbox
    http://dl.i-funbox.com/
    to see if yo can get them from the iPod in a usable file.
    Otherwise you will have to re import them to your computer and sync

    Sylvia,
    I cannot comment on PrE 3, as I did not start until PrE 4. With the latter, when one went to use one of the modules, they were automatically "registered." Based on comments in the Help file, I asked pretty much this same question, back then. All was done automatically, in PrE 4.
    Maybe those, familiar with PrE 3, can be of help to you.
    Good luck,
