Please help. When exporting a 720p video using Quicktime Conversion in FCP it saves some extra temporary files to my computer. The temporary file it saves is called ICMMultiPassStorage. This file gets so large that eventually the program and exporting process crashes. I have been able to locate the file using GrandPerspective and close out of FCP to delete it. But when I try exporting the movie again it creates the ICMMultiPassStorage file again. I have made sure my scratch disks are set to my external hard drive so I know that isn't the issue. How do I fix this problem so these temporary files are not being stored on my internal hard drive instead of my external?Thanks!

Try exporting the timeline "using current settings" via Make QuickTime Movie, then submit that clip to Compressor for the transcode. This should be faster and less painful.

  • Final Cut Pro 4:  Problems exporting video using QuickTime conversion

    just recently updated my Mac to version 10.4.11 -
    Ever since, Final Cut Pro won't let me Export my video using QuickTime Conversion.
    Its starts exporting, then freezes at 79%. A general error message pops up.
    I know its not a space issue, because I have 20GB left and the video i'm exporting is only 2 GB.
    I installed all the software updates.
    Can anyone help? Do I need a new version of Final Cut?

    1) this is the final cut express forum not the pro.
    2) 10.4.6 is not the latest, try updating to 10.4.11
    3) after any system update you must run disk utility to repair permissions or errors that may not have been addressed during the upgrade process.
    4) have you tried exporting as a reference movie then playing it in qtpro, if ok then export.
    5) what are you trying to export too?

  • Problems in Exporting in FCEx HD using Quicktime Conversion

    I am currently editing video footage for web delivery using Final Cut Express HD and am having problems with the export using Quicktime conversion. When exporting to a Quicktime movie, there are no problems with the export. When exporting to MPEG-4 using Quicktime conversions, the audio is fine but the video image is very choppy and quality is significantly reduced. Is there a filter I need to apply to enhance the video for MPEG-4? Are there specific settings that work best with MPEG-4 in H.264?
    Thanks for the help

    MPEG-4 export only works in specific frame sizes. The greater the image size the higher the data rate you'll have to use to produce a good quality image. The quality of the compression is going to be to a substantial degree dependent on the quality of the original recording and the original compression.
    YouTube uses Flash video for delivery BTW, not MPEG-4.

  • Multiple problems when exporting 16:9 HDV using Quicktime Conversion

    Hello,
    I am trying to export a 41-minute long video so that I can post it online. It is in 16:9 HDV Widescreen format, and the computer I am using is an iMac G5 2.1Ghz PowerPC with 2.5GB of RAM. I've been having the following issues so far:
    1. It doesn't export the entire video when exporting to WMV. It stops after only a few minutes of exporting, and then when I check it to see how it came out, only the first few minutes of my video are there.
    2. When exporting using Quicktime Conversion to being an actual Quicktime file (.mov), it starts but then it stops at 7% and the "Estimated Time" increases from "about 2 minutes", to "about 5 hours"...and then THAT increases a few minutes later to "about 7 hours". I've already increased my memory to 2.5GB (which unfortunately is the most amount that my computer can fit).
    3. So far, for .mov, .divx, .wmv, .m4v, and .mp4, I've been having a lot of trouble trying to figure out the exact settings that I should be using for 16:9 widescreen (dimensions, formats, etc). A lot of times, the video has become 4:3, with the video itself stretched from top to bottom (it looks very weird like that).
    Any ideas on what I should do?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I have the same problem and I can't believe Apple did not think about that. Each time I'm doing a 16:9 movie, it doesn't work with QuickTime conversion.
    Read this site, it might help you. I'm gonna try the solution they're talking about.

  • I have tried the following, "netsh winsock, reset", but I get a message that says the required operation requires elevation run as administrator . this is my laptop and I am an administrator, please help , itunes store is the only program i have issues

    I get a message that says, the required operation requires elevation <run as administrator>. I am the owner of this laptop and I have administrative authority, why does this show and how can I fix this. Itunes store is the ONLY program I am having trouble with.Very , very frustrating.!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I will assume you're using Windows Vista-7:
    Try these steps instead:
    1 Click start, and in the start menu search, type "cmd" (without the quotes) DO NOT PRESS ENTER!
    2. Right click the "cmd" search result
    3. Click "Run as Administrator"
    4. If you get a pop up message, click yes or continue
    5. Type the command in the window as you did above.
    In an effort to try to prevent programs from messing with your computer, programs don't run under your administrator account unless you tell them to or they ask. This gives the Administrator (elevated) privelleges that you need.

    d scriv, I took a brief look at the website you posted. It appears to be using Adobe Flash Player
    http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    Unless I'm missing something here. I don't think QuickTime is going to be of much help with that website. Even if you saved a file from the website to the hard drive, it would not be easy to get QT to play it

    Why are you using Quicktime Conversion? Why not export using "current settings"?

  • Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 crashes when using QuickTime conversion export

    Our copy of Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 has started to crash when exporting using QuickTime Conversion. It gets about 66% complete, then dumps out. I have updated FCP using Software Update and QT to the latest version. Any ideas why this happening? Pro Kit 4.5 installed. QuickTime Pro 7.4.5
    My previous post had the wrong version of FCP. Dyslexia sets in.

    Erik:
    quite often during render I get the error messages "The specific file is in use by another application"
    Check this Apple doc:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302790
    I think that was solved with 10.4.10.
    About the crash problem, you would post the system configuration of that computer.
    Hope that helps !

    when recording a video using quicktime and my built in camera (isight) how come the program wont let me use my audio interface rather than the built in mike?
    The basic answer is that Apple has not programmed the capture routine with this capability. As such, you can always send QT feedback requesting this feature be added as a future enhancement.

  • Audio and video out of sync when using quicktime conversion

    hello,
    i am editing a hdv project and want to export to quicktime. the client needs it in a specific size (700x394). they do not want the video in the file compressed, just the size of image. they are compressing the video through flash for the web. anyways, i used to just use quicktime conversion, custom size and use 700x394, but now when i do that the audio and video are sparadically out of sync in the product. the wierd thing is that the project plays fine in the timeline, but when i export the problem occours. i then, exported to a full res fcp movie and it is fine. then tired reexporting through qt pro to 700x394. when i did this their were no sync issues but the quality of the file was not so good, it look more pixely, certainly not as good as when i did it using quicktime conversion.
    how can i export through fcp to get the 700x394 file? someone said 'use current settings' instead of using quicktime conversion? how do i do this? what do i need to do and what are my settings?
    any help is appreciated. thanks a ton in advance.
    cheers,
    clay

    What format are you converting the HDV to?
    If it's animation, it is quite possible your computer can't pull the data rate. In this case it would be a processor / hard drive issue not an out of sync issue.
