Operation could not be completed because an error occured when creating frame 56 (error-1)

Hi
I'm trying to export a movie in motion but I keep getting the error "Export Failed. The operation could not be completed because an error occured when creating frame xx (error-1)".  I've tried some of the other suggestions such as preventing app nap, changing the codec used and I've uninstalled, rebooted, and reinstalled motion.  Nothing has worked so far, and it's driving me crazy!
Can anyone suggest something?  I'd be most grateful.
Thanks

Hi GFXZen, thanks for your reply.
I actually solved by re-exporting the source video, but I'll get to that (to skip, see TL;DR).  In case it helps anybody else I'll answer your questions first.
The only element present at the majority of the failure points was another video, so there weren't any others to turn off.  Though when I turned off the video and exported, it actually worked (this is what led me to evaluate the source video rather than the motion project).
Adjusting the export settings did not help me much, I tried h.264, same as source (which  was a .mov), and ProRes 4444: failed.  Tried as a draft: failed.  I didn't want to mess with any of the other render settings because to be honest, I'm not a video editor, so my experience with all of this is severely limited.
I forgot to mention in the first post that I'd already tried the export on a different machine (one far newer and more powerful): failed.  Dispite googling image sequences, I wasn't really sure how this related to the video, or how to set things up so the audio was preserved, so I skipped that.
TL;DR
According to what I googled, it sounded like the video needed to be reindexed/exported/whatever, so I downloaded a program MPEG Streamclip (http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html) 1.93b8 (as  the stable doesn't support Lion upward).  It's completely free, and when I ran it, worked first time.  I simply opened the video and exported to quicktime, and changed the compression to Apple TIFF.  That was it. 
There was one unusual thing though, the file I started with was just over 1GB, but the end result was just over 4GB - but visually I couldn't see any loss in quality at all, and it worked in the motion project - which is really all that matters.
Hope this helps somebody.

  • Error Occurred when creating frame (Error -1)

    I have been working on a project in Motion 5 and recently on my 2009 MBP Intel Core 2 Duo and recently upgraded to an Core i7. I transferred all the project files and media over to the new machine but now when I export I get the error message  "The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 346 (error -1).
    I've updated the OS (Mountain Lion) and Motion to the latest versions on both my old MBP and the new one.
    I've spent hours creating this and bought the new machine to get quicker render/export times but now it will not even export at all.
    I'm using a .mov file throughout my project which is at 30 FPS, but my Motion project is set at 24fps, could this be the cause? It didnt seem to matter on the project I was doing on my old MBP.
    Any advice would be great. Thanks

    What version is this? Are you using 10.0.9?

  • Error 8062 when I try to copy or move files on my macbook: "This operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8062)". Can even not install new software now!!

    Since a few days when I try to copy or move files on my macbook, I often get an error message saying "This operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (error code -8062)". And then it just quits the copy or move.
    I searched a lot on the internet, but only found solutions for cases you cannot empty the trash due to this issue.
    I tried those solutions for my trash and that helped after some trying.
    However, I still have the problem with copying and moving files.
    I even cannot install new software now, as it has to copy itself to the programs-directory, and gives the same error-message.
    Who can help me??
    Cannot seem to find any info on it on the support-forums or elsewhere.
    My user-account is administrator, I use a 13" Macbook Aluminium (Late 2008). Mac OS X 10.6.8 CPU 2Ghz Intel Core Duo, RAM: 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated...

    Tips I received so far (thanks to A-Mac via Twitter http://www.a-mac.nl and Remco Kalf http://www.remcokalf.nl/)
    - make sure you have at least 10% of your harddisk in free space (I had only 5%).
    - do a PRAM-reset (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379)
    - perform a hardware test (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509)
    - make a complete backup (with for example Carbone Clone Copier, see http://www.bombich.com/)
    - after complete backup: use diskwarrior (boot from Diskwarrior DVD, first perform diagnostics, then perform "Rebuild" which rebuilds your file directory).
    So far I only cleared up some space on my HD, and already the problem occurs less.
    Still, I will go through the other tips too.
    (will post progress)

    You need to set the FCP X Preferences to count in frames, locate that frame, delete the clip around it and replace with a fresh one.

  • The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 2829 (error -1)

    I'm getting this error code in Final Cut Pro.  The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 2829 (error -1). What does this mean and how can I fix it?  This code comes up when exporting. 

    Final Cut Pro X 10.0.8 and I'm running it on OS X 10.9.1.  I have been doing nothing different for the past few months. I have been creating a weekly video and exporting the same way and everything, but it just did this today for the first time. I have never had this error code before.

  • The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 30256 (error -1).

    Has anyone any ideas?
    Many Thanks

    Switch your FCP preferences to show frames and see what's happen at that frame number. Try trash any render files. Switch off background rendering. Don't render. Try replacing the clip at the problem area.

  • I have a pop up window that says "Sorry the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (Error code -61). What does that mean?

    I am using a portable USB storage drive connected to my laptop.  I am trying to delete a file from the USB drive but it is not working. A pop up window appears that says "Sorry the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (Error code -61)". What does that mean and how do I fix it?  Thank you.

    All I can tell you is that is a write permissions error. How is this drive formatted? Check the file's permissions. You can try:
    Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt enter:
    sudo rm -rf
    Leave a space after "-rf" and drag the file into the Terminal window. Press RETURN. You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed.

  • Why do I get this error: The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 1364 (error -1).

    In motion 5, when I go to export - H.264 - I get this error: The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 1364 (error -1). Why and How do I Fix It???

    What version of FCPX ?

  • What does "The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 0 (error -1)." mean, and why does it keep happening?

    So I've been trying to export a video file from Motion 5 (and FCPX), and I keep recieving the message "The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 0 (error -1)". I've found the problem has something to do with a video file in the project, Ive tried multiple versions of said file, in multiple formats (.mov, h264, etc.), and I keep getting the same result.  The file was originaly a 640x480 wmv file. Any suggestions?

    I ended up figuring out a solution, but I'll get to that in a sec.
    To answer your question, I converted the .wmv file in a program called Media Converter (available in the App store), and converted it to an h.264 file (then later to a .mov file, and then to an .mpg). I could view the file, and work with it in projects, but any project I tried to output with any version of said file, would result in the afor mentioned message, with the same results in FCPX (and Compressor 4 as well).  I tried multiple frame rates, resolutions, files types, re-converting the file, all with no luck.  My impression from said experiments, and reading other discussions was that it was a corrupt file. 
    Then I got frisky...and a little desperate. I brought the converted file (the .wmv to .mov) into Motion 4... and an export worked first try.  So I exported a pro-res file from Motion 4, and used that file in the already built Motion 5 project, and voila! 
    So, who knows what that means in real terms, as for the whats and whys.

    You need the System DVDs that originally came w/the computer in order to troubleshoot.  All Macs prior to & including ML came w/System DVDs. 
    You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available. 
    If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html  Another resource:  International Support Phone #s.

  • Operation could not be completed because "whatever file i'm copying" is in use

    Ever since upgrading my 2012 Mac Air to Mavericks, I've been seeing this error message sporadically when copying files to my SMB share on my raspberrypi.
    I'm not sure if it's just coincidence with the os upgrade, and I'm not sure how to consistently reproduce the problem.
    "Operation could not be completed because "whatever file I'm copying" is in use".
    It doesn't seem to matter if I'm copying one file or a bunch of files. Randomly, that message will pop up, and then the copy will stop.

    I've restarted the mac quite a few times, with and without the reopen option checked. Made sure the first thing to do was to copy those files to the other server. The only thing that could be using the files, would be Finder itself. It seems like when I have a list of files to copy, the message will pop up somewhere in the middle of the list. All the files previous to the error have been copied correctly. All files including the one in the error message and after it, don't get copied.
    If the first or only file is particularly large, the error may pop up. When the message does pop up, it is always after a few minutes of copying, never right away.
    Never had this problem prior to the Mavericks upgrade.
