QuickTIme Error -8969 (important)

We are currently using compressor 2 and flip4mac (licensed) to export out using the file format "QuickTime Export Components".
When we process a 5-minute file it completes the task successfully. When we using the same custom setting on a 80 minute recording (same source file) it will generate the following error:
Failed: QuickTime Error: -8969
Has anyone else experienced the same error and developed a solution?
Cheers

Quicktime Error -8969 ?

Hello all,
Working on exporting two clips out of Compressor. The clips are both 1 minute in length. The setting is for QT with Photo JPEG quality, same frame rate and size as source. Each time I try to export, I get "Status: Failed: Quicktime Error -8969"
Any Idea what could cause this?
Thanks in advance for any help

AE cc quicktime error on Importing/Exporting/Rendering (osx)

I keep getting errors when importing Quicktime files (no matter what the codec is) and when exporting/rendering, (see attached screenshot for error on importing).
Error during rendering (after 10-15 seconds) is:
After Effects error: Rendering error while writing file "xxx". An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted. (-1610153464)
The only solution I found it's to close and restart AE CC. Yesterday I also got a couple of crashes when rendering.
CS6 was working perfectly, error began to appear when I started working on CC.
I have Apple pro apps installed, quicktime is updated. I mainly export in lossless, photo-jpeg or png sequence.
Is there a fix for this in the update I just downloaded (7.0.1)?

Update. It happened right now, with default settings (lossless/automatic audio). The comp is just a simple psd as a background layer, couple of text and a camera, duration 20 seconds, no motion blur.
I got this error (see attached image), restarted AE, then the render went ok.
Cache is set in a folder on the same drive as the render dir, it's an internal SSD (secondary, the os is on another one).
(Already updated AME to 7.0.1)

Error During Import: File Could Not Be Imported

I am trying to load some .AVI movies from my digital camera into iMovie; most of them will, but 1 or 2 for some reason will not. I have played some of these videos on my old G3, which I replaced with this new computer; most loaded in OK.
The clips that won't load look smaller than the others when playing (don't know why). I played the movies and converted them to Quicktime again in MPEG Streamclip and they played fine (also in VLC PLayer, FWIW).
I am getting this error message: Error during Import: File Could Not Be Imported.
Also, I am trying to change the orientation of one clip that I inadvertently shot sideways; I did this in Bitlist but it won't load now into iMovie. Is there away to change the orientation in Quicktime (I'm not buying QT pro) or another free converter that will work?
Thanks in advance...

try to ...
* open the avi/mpegs in Streamclip
* choose 'DV stream' as export option
* in the 'DV stream' dialog, you're offered the option 'turn'.. rotate in the wanted direction and choose '75%' size to get all into the video...

Quicktime error 0

Hi,
I'm trying to export a video that I sent from FCP 6 to compressor and every time it says Fail, QuickTime error 0, I don't understand I've tried with different compression settings, DVD Best Quality 90 minutes, 120 minutes, Fastest encode 150, 120... all with the same result, Failed and when I look in the Batch Monitor it only says QuickTime Error 0.
Anybody knows what could be??
thanks
Javier

Hi,
did you send it directly from FCP timeline?
If so export the edited video as QT movie self-contained or reference movie and import that into Compressor.
That should solve the problem, which I believe is caused by some corrupted media sitting in FCP timeline and not Compressor.
Good luck,
G.

Quicktime Error -50 when doing mp4--ever resolved?

I'm having a problem with Compressor that was perfectly described in this thread from last year. In fact, I'm just going to quote what that poster said because it applies exactly to me:
I was trying to compress this 3 minute long clip using "MPEG-4 Improved NTSC Small Progressive" setting but it always failed, and in the log/history i always find the following status:
Failed: QuickTime Error: -50
I have tried another MPEG4 configuration, and some seems to work (NTSC for CD) and some don't (NTSC for fast cable streaming, NTSC Large Progressive). Has anyone experienced this before? Any help or advice?
This question seems to come up every once in a while but nobody ever seems to answer it. Has anybody figured out how to deal with this?
(I've tried deleting the plists for both Compressor and Batch Processor, and I've updated all my software. I've found that if I export a reference movie, and then import that into Compressor, I am a little less likely to get the "Failed: Quicktime Error -50 message... but I still get it much of the time. )

unfortunately Jacob, no one answers it because we dont know. let me rephrase that: i dont answer it because i dont know. shoot, try calling apple support, THEY DONT KNOW! and good luck trying to get one of the software guys on the horn or reply to an email!
there are many errors in QT that are "meaningless" (as in we dont know what they mean since there is NO documentation).
what seems to solve a lot of issues for many users, whether it be QT, compressor, FCS, or even DVDSP related is to do a fresh reinstall of your whole computer. this is NOT a very popular answer however and i can understand why.
many times however, i hate to say this, it is user error, or the user just installs or updates without optimizing the computer or OS first. they just feel they can install a software, and POOF< it works, and why not, since thats the way its SUPPOSED to work, but many things in life are not that simple!
there are just sooo many variables that go into a VERY complicated computer, and it seems when even a fraction of those variables are NOT happy, and it can be anything from an undeleted file to a bad or corrupted library, that the end user has problems with another application that has NOTHING to do with the corrupt file.
i would recommend, a fresh install of the app. although it seems it might not work, or you have already done it, since you did actually search before just posting. then i would recommend a fresh install of the OS, and then one by one your apps. if that is NOT an option, then i cannot help you and i would recommend calling apple's support
i wish i would be able to read the QT errors to be able to help you, but i cant!

Quicktime error -50 with "H.264 for DSP"

Hello.
When compressing for HD DVD with the profile "H.264 for DVD Studio Pro" (on macosx 10.5.5, QuickTime 7.5.5) I systematically get a QuickTime error -50, about which I am finding no information at all. More, precisely this is what the logs report
(in com.apple.stomp.transcoder.stomp.log)
... msg="Processing service request error: QuickTime Error: -50"
(in com.apple.compressor.cluster.admin.log)
<log ... msg="Handling exception: ... fatal exception = QuickTime error: -50, fail count = 1." />
<log ... msg="Stopping the failed request." />
This happens with all kind of sources, but only when the setting is "H.264 for DVD Studio Pro". All other settings work as expected. I don't know what to think, possibly an upgrade problem, possibly one of the QuickTime plugins installed on my system might be interfering (but then perhaps the error should occur given a source for all output settings, rather than vice versa, fixed the DSP setting for sources of all kinds). Google doesn't seem to know about this, searching this mailing list hasn't helped, nor grep-ing my system for more expressive error reports.
In way of help, can please anybody:
(1) confirm that they are able with Compressor 3.0.4 to produce H.264 for DSP
(2) shed some light on what this QuickTime Error: -50 might be, perhaps by pointing me to log files where some more information is given? (fatal exception -50 is not very helpful, really...)
My interest is of course to learn how to bypass the problem, or alternatively to convince DSP to accept H.264 in HD DVD projects generated by encoders others than Compressor with "H.264 for DSP" profile, or alternatively to understand how to make DSP accept H.264 generated by a third-party encoder (eg x264). Does anybody know?
thanks

Hi:
I've been experiencing all sorts of issues with compressor, somewhat like this. I think my quicktime plug-ins are the culprit. Example, I have been exporting directly out of Motion with no problems lately, but when I export to Compressor I see my "Flip4Mac" import window several times, then Compressor either fails to export, or crashes.
I would suggest trying a direct export from FCP or Motion, or whatever your source is. See if that works. Just bypass Compressor and choose your HD DVD option from the export window. It does the trick with Motion.

The Share Operation has failed: QuickTime Error: -50

I just updated to FCP X 10.0.8 and all of the sudden I am getting share errors when I attempt to export. I have tried sharing to youtube and sharing for apple devices at 1280px X 720px using H.264 codec. Each time I get a quicktime error: -50.
I am editing on a Mac Mini 2.7 GHZ Intel i7. 8GB memmory OS 10.8.3. The video files are AVCHD 1920x1080 24fps and live on an external 6 tb GTech Raid external hard drive.
So far, I have tried deleting both my project file's render files and event render files. I have copied the project to a new project and re-rendered. Each time, I am seeing that several tiny little segments are showing as un-rendered (orange bars above clip on timeline). I'm guessing that this might have something to do with the error?
I am not using any images and the music I am using is an AIFF file. I re-timed some of the clips for slow motion.
When I try to share as "export file" > Video and Audio > Apple Pro Res 422 at 1920 x 1080 I get "The share operation Export File has failed" The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 1403 (error - 1). But I'm not sure how to view frame numbers.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I've tried deleting all the render files several times and it doesn't work.
Interestingly enough, when I copy the bad clips individually to a new project and then export them, they export just fine. They do not have the weird orange render bars.
Check out this link to see a screenshot of my timeline.
I'm not sure if my clips are optimized. My import preferences have the "create optimized media" checkbox checked, but when I actually imported the files, I did not check the "create optimized media" checkbox. Although, on my hard drive there is a folder for transcoded media > high quality media and it has some clips in there, including the bad clips. So I guess it created optimized media? Is there another way to tell if a clip has been optimized.
Here is a screenshot of my preferences.
Here are my project properties.

Error: -8969 trying to export .mov file to MPEG-4

I have a .mov file of a band performance. The file is 1Gb in size. When I try to export this file to an MPEG-4 format with H.264 codec using QuickTime Pro on both my laptop and a work desktop, I get about 17% into it and then Error:
-8969 Unknown error has occurred. I can't find any reference to that number in this forum, on Apple's search or Google for that matter. Does anyone have an idea? I suspect it is a problem with the file itself since it crashes the same on two different computers. Here is the original file properties:
Format: Apple Planar RGB, 354x240, 16-bit Integer (Big Endian), Stereo, 48kHz
Frames/sec: 29.97
Data Size: 1.0 GB
Data Rate: 5.34 MB
Duration: 3:12
I am certainly not experienced with this stuff, but apparently neither is the 'videographer' who recorded it.

Take the file to a friend that owns a Mac and QuickTime Pro. Pay for it if needed as it will sort out your mess.
http://www.multimedia.cx/8bps.txt
Basic understanding of export formats may have helped the original exporter of the file.
What you have is a nearly "raw" file composed of an image format and a raw audio track.
If you can ask them to send a DV stream of the same file you should be able to continue your work.
Is the video some special image format prior to export from QuickTime?

Quicktime Error:0 with Compressor 4

Here's what I'm working on:
Mac Pro Quad-Core
16gb RAM
Mac OSX 10.7.5
I"m exporting from FCPX 10.0.7 to Compressor 4. I have an 82 minute timeline. When Compressor opens, I select the standard DVD presets for mpeg2 video and ac3 audio. The audio file renders fine, but the video files fails and I get this error- "Failed: Quicktime Error: 0"
When importing every source file, I have optimized media selected. Any ideas whats causing this?

Udate: The contained Quicktime file that I exported from FCPX rendered fully with no errors in Compressor, so I guess I"m in the clear, but I think this was an unnecessary extra step. Its a mystery why I was getting the error when sending the render to Compressor from within FCPX.
Anyone else that has this issue, please share any solutions if you have them.

Quicktime Error -2045

Hi everyone,
I am trying to render a Motion 5 sequence in Final Cut Pro X (10.0.6).
When I send the render to Compressor (4.0.5), it appears to render successfully with the CPU maxing out at 100% for a few minutes and disk activity occuring as it would use source files for rendering. My problem with this occurs a few more minutes into the render when my Share Monitor alerts me that "Quicktime Error -2045" has occured.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Thanks for your help.
Andrew.

I've never had this. Is this M5 sequence something you exported out of M5 and then imported into FCP? Could you export it as a movie out of FCP and then import that into Compressor?
Kind of a vague explanation form Editcodes: Indicates failure to write a file properly (which you knew). Suggested actions (again from Editcodes) change the disk you're writing to; disable 3rd party plug-ins.

Quicktime error in Final Cut Studio II

Hello everybody,
since yesterday I am figthing with the following problem in Final Cut Studio II.
First I wanted to export my subtitles through the XML Export in Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 but this did not work out, as it looks like the stack had an overflow and it says: "XML translation was aborted due to a critical error".
As I tested, some smaller projects are possible to export XML but not my main project.
I looked for different fixes as the system and the projects worked some days before.
Then I checked if I can Export the Sequences with compressor as I allways did and I get an error "Failed: QuickTime Error -50" after some processing time!
This is the content that is getting logged by the Console:

Thank you for any help on this issue!
By the way, after seening this issue for some time in OS X 10.6.8 I upgraded to 10.7.1 and it did not change anything to the situation.
To me it looks like a plugin conflict but deleting of Caches and .plist's did not change anything to the situation!
Please help!!!
Best Regards,
Chris

After some peacefull time my system crashed completely on Friday!
I installed all from Scratch to make sure its not some old stuff that I carried on during migration.
It's not a problem with the motion files as I deleted all of them and XML export is still crashing!
The situation is, that after installing it all I got the same quicktime translation error again and I am quite angry about how Apple handles clients who are working on projects with the recent FCP story.
Unfortunately due to the problems in exporting XML I am not even able to switch to Adobe Premier as this is the only way to import there.
After a lot of testing I am quite sure, that this issue has to do something with an Apple Update release between June 2011 and now.
Conclusion: Final Cut Studio II is not working correctly anymore as it did before June 2011!!! Apple, Please fix this issue asap.!!!!

What kind of media are in your project?
Does this happen with other projects or just this one? Import a fresh clip and edit it to a fresh project, try exporting as a master file.

Quicktime Error (-2000) after sending AppleProRes 422 clips to Shake

Hi there, I have been using FCP (7.02) and Shake (4.11) infrequently, mainly the smooth cam node with clips from my DV Camcorder. My new Full HD camcorder is recording AVCHD video which is transformed into Apple ProRes 422 when logged and transferred to FCP. After sending these sequences or clips to Shake, the node turns red and the clips don't show. In Shake's console appears an message related to the imported file which says <quicktime error (-2000)>.
Is there any way to solve this problem and does anyone know what causes it?

For what it's worth, QuickTime error -2000 means "Could not resolve data ref." Ordinarily I would assume that you were using reference movies but this clearly isn't the case.
It would seem that Final Cut Pro is formatting the movie clips in a way that Shake doesn't recognize so it might be worth recompressing in QuickTime or Compressor to see if that solves the issue.

When I try sharing to my apple devices from my final cut pro x, I keep getting a "Quicktime Error:-50". How can I fix this?, When I try sharing to my apple devices from my final cut pro x, I keep getting a "Quicktime Error:-50". How can I fix this?

You can search the entire internet by putting that error message into google, see what other discussions appear.
With only the little information you've provided, I'd trash Compressor and download it again from the App Store.
You could share the timeline out to MPEG2 and then import that into iDVD, if you have it, or Toast.
Given an hour or three, someone with better suggestions will soon chime in.
