  • File error when rendering audio on finished project

    Hi gang
    When I go to render the audio before exporting, I get a file error message about 1 minute into the render that sez: "File error: specified file is open and in use by this or another application". I don't have any other projects open and I trashed my FCP prefs thinking it might fix the problem but same message appears again.
    Any ideas?
    thanks in advance

    If spotlight is indexing (that is a background operation) it is using your file... just not allow spotlight to use your fcp scratch and you should not have this kind of problem in future...
    I'd mark it helpful if I could. I've been having the same problem and got tired of "babysitting" my computer while I did a mixdown on long sequences. I just had a 10-minute audio render, and it gave me the error message 3 times. I found this reply and made the prefs changes and it finished just fine (unattended).
    Thanks again,

  • Photoshop file error when rendering motion menus in Encore CS4

    Hello
    I hope someone can help me please?
    I've successfully (after 3 attempts) managed to import my PP project into Encore, created the menus etc from the presets that come with Encore (Wedding Garden menu).  When it comes to rendering the motion menus with the animated buttons option checked, after a couple of seconds it comes up with a Runtime C error - photoshop file (508) i think it is and it crashes.
    It's a new system CS4, Windows 7 64bit, 2x2.40ghz quad core processor, 24gb ram, nvidfia 285 2gb graphics card - do you need to know anything else?
    I've rendered the motion menus without ticking the animate buttons option on the 3 menus I have (it's a wedding dvd - main menu and 2 sub menus with animated thumbnails) and its worked.  This is ok as a workaround but I'd really like to be able to have the menu thumbnails animated.
    Many thanks
    Rachel

    Thanks v much i'll certainly give that a try -
    if it helps - I managed to make a note of the error message after I had sent my initial posting on this topic.

    Thanks again for posting a reply

  • Error when rendering! Desperately in need of help!

    Just out of nowhere I´m getting this error when rendering in a ProRes project:
    "Codec not found. You may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card"
    I have done nothing with my setup and have never had problems with this before. What can I do to fix this?

    I started getting this error after exporting prores 422 (and 422 HQ) files from AE and dropping them into FCP. It happened a couple of days ago, right after I updated to QT 7.6.2. i checked out the details on the QT update and the update seems to focus on prores 422 functionality. so i think your theory about this having something to do with the update is spot on.
    my solution was to export out of AE using photo-jpeg. it's pretty close to identical on the visual and color correctable if not. this project has the flexibility for this type of codec switch since everything originates in AE -- you may not have that flexibility.

  • In aperture 3.4.5, I get unsupported file error when exporting version of photo I've edited using plugins?

    In aperture 3.4.5, I get unsupported file error when exporting version of photo I've edited using plugins. I have try reinstalling aperture three times, deleting plists a few times, reinstalling plugins, restarting my MacBook Pro many times. Everything I've tried may fix the problem for a very short while and I can export a few photos before it returns. The problem happens with topaz and photomatrix pro plugins after I edited and try to export version.

    I had the same problem with the Photomatix plug-in and this solved it for me. I realised it only happened with Photomatix and not other plug-ins so I checked where the plug-ins were installed. The Photomatix plug-in was installed in
    ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/
    where ~ is the home location for the current user account. All the other plug-ins however were installed in
    Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/
    which is the location that makes them available to all user accounts on your Mac. Moving the Photomatix plug-in to this location solved the problem for me.
    Note that the Library directory under the first location is normally hidden, to get to it hold down the Option (Alt) key and select it from the Finder Go menu.

  • Unreadable Files Error when Importing

    Hi - I get an "unreadable files" error when trying to import from my iPhoto Library folder. I've read the other postings, and it sounds as though I should not have moved files directly into this folder. If that's the case, can someone please tell me how to move iPhoto Library files from an external HD onto my computers HD so that I can access the files in iPhoto? What I did was move pictures from my external HD "Pictures,iPhoto Libray, Originals" into the the same folder on my computer's HD - Thanks for any help you can provide!

    misstexas:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    import from my iPhoto Library folder
    That's the reason. iPhoto will not import any file that resides anywhere inside the iPhoto Library folder. Move them to the Desktop and import from there.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Float4() causes "error saving Pixel Bender Byte Code file" error when exporting for flash player

    Simple test
    <languageVersion : 1.0;>
    kernel untitled
    <   namespace : "Your Namespace";
        vendor : "Your Vendor";
        version : 1;
    >
        input image4 src;
        output pixel4 dst;
        void
        evaluatePixel()
            dst = float4(sampleNearest(src, outCoord()));
    The above code will produce a "error saving Pixel Bender Byte Code file" error when exporting for flash player in Pixel Bender Toolkit 2.5.449694.
    "dst = (sampleNearest(src, outCoord()));" works fine. And anything like "float4 a= float4(b);" will give same error.

    Thank you for the error report.  I'll put it into our bug database.  We're bottling things up for the current version.  Gven the workaround, it is unlikely we'll be addressing this bug soon.  Please accept my apologies for the annoyance this will cause.
    In your second example, float4 a = float4(b), does it return an error if b is only a float4 or regardless of what b is?  If b is a scalar float, for example, is the conversion performed correctly? If so, this could be an error that only crops up when using constructor/conversion syntax when the thing being converted is already the correct type.
    Thanks,
    Chuck.

  • File Not Found Error When Rendering Motion Menu

    Hi there.
    I'm attempting to render a motion menu and keep getting the error "file not found". All of the necessary files are available and no specific missing file is mentioned.
    The background video is a .m2v, and there is a .wav audio file too. They are 42 seconds long.
    I tried other Encore projects and 2 others are doing the same thing, or coming up with a 'General Error'.
    I have cleaned the Database in the Media Cache. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Encore. There are no updates available.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    David

    Yeah, it would have taken me quite a while to redo the menus completely!  So I was very thankful for the save to menu template option.
    When I (not recently, thank goodness!) have a project I suspect of corruption, I create a new project, and just "import as menu" from the old menu subdirectory. The method you used deletes the  menus, so exporting the menus helps.
    Mac OS 10.6.8
    That's Snow Leopard, right?
    Actually, I'm not really sure about Encore terminology (this was my first project), but the only motion I have in my menus is the line that appears under the button text when that button is highlighted.  At one point I had the photo buttons (for videos) set to animate, but I removed that option.
    A highlight is just a highlight, not "motion." Animated buttons, when rendered as the menu, are actually a video background, so that was a motion menu.
    All 30 slideshows are actually individual video timelines.  They were created and exported from Photosho Lightroom 3.
    In Encore terminology, those are just videos - many Encore users choose to do slideshows as videos.
    I had originally tried creating each one as a slideshow from within Encore, but I was DEEPLY dismayed by how slow Encore became, evetually locking up at least once per hour.  It was ridiculous, even taking into account the fact that it is not a 64-bit program.  I planned to leave 2 of the songs as Encore slideshows (Lightroom can't do Pan/Zoom), but in the end I had to replace them with mp4s because the slideshows just would not play.  Really, it was about 11 wasted days plus 4 productive days to get me through the project!
    Encore has a variety of problems with slideshows, but I suspect from your description that you were using very large images. Scaling them down a bit can improve performance.

  • Error when rendering illegal file name

    I appreciate any help. I am trying to finish a video and I have three clips in the video sequence that won't render. The message I get is "illegal file name, unable to render". I tried renaming the clip; saving the project under a different name; replacing the clip; overwriting the clip; shutting down the program; shutting down the computer. I have searched the manual and the discussion forums and have not been able to figure this out.
    This is not the first video I've edited - am using final cut express.. iMAC WITH OS -X 10.6.1
    Again, appreciate any assistance. Renee

    Thank you all for helping me with this! I am using FCE 4.0.1 IMAC 24" 3.06SD/ intel core 2 DUO Machine is only 2 months old/ came with all software preinstalled. Video is taken on JVC Everio in MOD format and converted to MOV by Iverio convertmod program (which I installed). The video file permission is "you can read and write". The file itself is one clip - it is from the funeral service from my Mom's funeral and all I wanted to do is take out some of the dead space/ insert some video transistions/ and burn the video for relatives that were unable to attend. I am wondering if it has something to do with the fact that it is one clip that I have spliced into several clips. The file name is 2009-07-14 09h16mn16s.MOV When I rendered most of the clips that I spliced and added the transistions to, they rendered fine, but the last three spliced clips keep giving me the error reading "file error ..illegal name" When I try renaming just that spliced clip - it changes the name on all the clips in the timeline (including the previous rendered clips. I know I'm probably not thinking as clearly being that this video is a bit more emotional to me than the others I've worked with, but other than the fact that it is my mom's funeral - the only other difference is in the other video's I've done - each clip has a specific name (and maybe are 5-7 minutes long - and not just one long 52 minute clip that I'm splicing)
    Again, I appreciate any help - I'm about ready to scrap the whole thing and start from the beginning -

  • Error when rendering for Flash

    I have had two projects crash when rendering an Encore CS3 project.
    The info in the data collection is:
    AppName: adobe encore.exe AppVer: 3.0.1.8 ModName: dvacore.dll
    ModVer: 2.0.0.60016 Offset: 0008bdb3
    Any clues?

    OK... I use Premiere Pro and then encode files with an application called Cinema Craft for m2v files. These are loaded into Encore and authored for dvd, tested and all work fine.
    With two projects, encore crashes with the error I mentioned in my first post. Others have gone through fine but are consistent with how I always create projects.
    I do work with a Matrox RXT.100 board with PP2.0 and have seen posts that PP CS# does not like rxt.100. This should not have any bearing on projects that are exported into m2v or wav and then imported into Encore CS3.
    Is it best NOT to export into an mgp format and let Encore transcode video?
    If more info is needed I would be glad to supply.

  • PDF created in CS6 now produces a "Cannot Open File" error when I try to reopen it :(

    I created a file in Illustrator CS6 (v. 16.0.0), and saved it as an (editable) PDF. When I try to reopen that same PDF inside Illustrator CS6, however, I get a "Could Not Open The File" error. 
    The file opens in Acrobat just fine, but I need to continue editing/working on it.  Opening it in 5.1 works but it's all flat and not ideal for editing.  Renaming the extension to .eps or .ai didn't work, either. I also looked into potential font conflicts (none) and restarted my Mac (OS 10.7.5) to no avail.
    Thoughts/suggestions most welcome!

    Illustrator is not designed to be a pdf editor, so save a .ai file backup always.
    A restart, as you did, of Illustrator or your mac will allow you to open the .pdf, or resetting your font cache with fontnuke.
    Update to 16.04, and especially check if acrobat needs updating.
    I have had and so have others problems with making .pdfs if you do not have a printer chosen, usually you get an error could not save .pdf but check you have a printer chosen in system preferences >> Print & Scan .

  • Intermittent 'Unable to read file' error when exporting/opening .html to .xls

    Hi, hope someone can help.
    I have an issue where I export a report from the Salesform platform to Excel. The file that is being exported is in html format and the report does not include any Pivot tables.
    The 'Unable to read file' error occurs intermittently, when Excel is already open and you export/open it from Salesforce...
    Have tried using Excel in safe mode with all the add-ins disabled and still no joy. The
    Do not save encrypted paged to disk option has been un-ticked the in Internet Options -> advanced.
    The issue happens in IE and other browsers, after raising the issue with Salesforce support they advised to raise the issue with MS instead, so here I am to see if anyone can help!
    Any help would be much appreciated

    Tools>Internet Options>Advanced tab, uncheck "Do not save encrypted files to disk"
    check your GPO settings to see if you have configured this to be unchecked.
    Thx.

  • File error when trying install Des9i by running 90201iDS_Win32.exe

    Your instructions to install Des9i are:
    1. Download the software (listed above) into a temporary directory. - DID THAT
    2. Run file10 (batch4.bat) - DID THAT
    3. Run 90201iDS_Win32.exe - I GET AN ERROR WHEN I TRY TO RUN THIS ONE. When I try to run it as a START/RUN with Batch4 running it tells me that the 90201iDS file is open by another application. I closed Batch4 and try running it again. Then it says it's not a valid win32 application. Then I tried to run it in Oracle by running step 4 (below) and selecting the 90201 file to install it. It tells me that the file is a directory or it is corrupt and to specify a valid filename. I re-downloaded it twice and tried all I know. Now what?
    I did create a second ORACLE HOME for the Designer that points to the same folder where I have the 10 downloaded files.
    4. Run setup.exe (located in the \disk1 directory). - NEVER GOT THIS FAR.

    I solved my own problem... it was this: right after you run the batch4 you need to wait a while for all the file1...n.brk files to run. I was thinking it was done after file1.brk.
