Quicktime errors in FCP

I have a FCP project, comprising mini-DV footage I've digitized on my own system, and some DVCam footage I've dig'd at a facility with a deck. All to the same FW drive (500 gig Western Dig). Strange thing is, when I go to import the QT movies (from DVCam) into the project, about half won't come in due to "errors opening movie." The problem clips have a '-v-1' or '-v-2' suffix, which makes me think there must have been some hiccups when it was digitizing. I'm trying to find a solution without having to go back and redig.
The facility is on a higher vers. of FCP, but I only digg'd there, did no cutting.

Ease up Shane, you're sounding like me.
I said something about a capture card. And I didn't ask what you digitized to, I asked if it was done via FW (deck to puter) or via a capture card. Capture cards can use proprietary codecs which would need to be installed on your machine to use the files.
But Shane is right. It definitely sounds like a 2GB limit thing.

  • Exporting FCP quicktime error -50

    hi i want to export a 9 minutes video with FCP. while exporting, suddenly an error was occurred "final cut pro has failed quicktime error -50" , the statement probably like this.
    i've searched on internet about this bug (quicktime error -50) but i couldn't find solution
    thank you very much.
    any response will help .

    One thing that seems to solve a lot of these export problems in 10,9 is this: right click on the FCPX app file and choose Get Info. Check the box next to Prevent App Nap. You may have to close and re-launch FCP for it to take efffect.

  • QuickTime error when exporting from FCP 4.5 - Compressor

    I'm still on Final Cut Pro 4.5, waiting to get money for a hardware upgrade before I can move to FCP 6, etc.
    I have upgraded to QuickTime Pro 7.2.
    This setup worked fine until today.
    I selected a sequence in FCP and tried to Export to Compressor (the source material was NTSC MiniDV video footage in FCP) using an MPEG-4 Fast Cable Streaming 320x240 export setting. I used this setting successfully to export a very similar project only last week. This evening when I tried exporting via Compressor the attempt failed, and Batch Monitor's log noted a "QuickTime Error -50". I tried this repeatedly this evening, and it produced the same results even after restarting the machine.
    I'm baffled by this. I had no such problem last week.
    Any clues?

    there's also reports of incompatibility with compressor3:

    Can you explain in detail what you did?
    Do any other shsre destinations complete? If not, do you get the same error message?

    First try exporting a self-contained movie from FCP, the using the resulting file in Compressor.  To do it, go to File->Export->QuickTime Movie (do NOT use QuickTime Conversion).  In the export window, check the self-contained option but do not "recompress all frames."
    Once the export is finished, launch Compressor then use the self-contained file as the source.  If that fails, you may want to try using theis: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/compressorrepair/

  • Compressor 2.3 - Quicktime error:0

    HI All
    This morning I wake up with this new thing.
    Im using FCP 5.1.1 and a 15minutes DV Pal sequence, already converted in the past. This morning I've tried to re-encode the sequence using DVD 90 min. High quality and I've got this new message : Quicktime error:0
    According to Apple , this erro coul appear just in HD sequences with less 1Gb ram. In my case, I've got 1.5Gb RAM and a 720x576 PAL DVcam format.
    I've done just a small test. I've esported the sequence (using export/qt/) and compressor does his job! Any idea? What I could to re-export directly from FCp?Thanks in advance!

    I am going to attempt both of those options.   In the meantime, I made an H264 version of the file for Blu Ray using a Matrox setting.

  • Quicktime error: -50

    I have 4 minute movie I made in FCP. Just like I have hundreds of times before. I can export it using Quicktime conversion and dump it into iweb just fine. When I try to share it to my Gallery I get a "Share Error Quicktime Error: -50" message. What is going on????

    Does the file play ok before you up load it?
    If so, it's your upload app problem.
    If not, what are the exact export settings?

  • Quicktime Error -50 on every share intent

    Hi!
    I'm having troubles when trying to export a movie from a Final Cut Pro X timeline. I always use Share/Apple Devices or Share/Send to Compressor. I always get the same error after a while: Quicktime error -50
    Does anyone have a clue?
    Thanks!
    PS: I don't know if it can be a problem, but I have both installed in my iMac 27"

    Ok, hafken, I exported with "Export Media" option (wich never existed in FCP before, it was "Export Quicktime Movie" before) and it worked, then I opened it with Compressor and it could export with Vimeo Setting.
    Thanks everyone for your help, but now, my question is: is this happening just me? How do you think I can solve this so that I can export without all this detour?

  • Failed Quicktime Error -2045

    FCP X and Compressor 4 will no longer generate a movie file when I submit it.  I cannot get a movie to generate from FCP X either.  Instead, I get an error after submitting that says Failed: QuickTime Error: -2045. 
    I have uninstall and reinstall FCP X, Compressor and Motion.  Until Saturday I was able to generate movies without a problem. 
    Does anyone know what this error means and how I can correct? 

    I found my answer for this.  Not sure if it will help everyone, but I was getting Failed with a zero code and with -2045 code.  I did the uninstall and reinstall of FCP X and Compressor to no avail.  But I also was running FX Factory from Noise Industries.  When I deleted it (have to use the Uninstall Button on their menu and not just drag it to trash bin) then my error went away. It seems that one of the filters it put in added an invalid plug in to Quicktime and that was causing the error.
    The Apple help guy had me create a new user account and run the same routine there.  Since I had no error on the new user, the logic was that it was a plug in issue for my main account.  So once I uninstalled the FX Factory app and its plug ins, then I was back in business.  I am going to try to reinstall FX Factory later to see if I can get my Phyx filters back, but at least I am transcoding movie files again.

  • Compressor error - Failed:  Quicktime error 0

    I'm sending my FCP sequence directly to Compressor and I'm getting this message after I submit:  "Failed:  Quicktime error 0".  It's a 34 minute sequence.  I'm using DVD Best Quality - 90 Minutes as my setting.  I've googled this error and I'm seeing some folks suggest that there may be a corrupt file in the FCP sequence.  Others say that it may be an insufficient RAM issue (not my issue).  My questions:
    -  Has anyone seen this before?  If so, how did you resolve?
    -  If this is due to a corrupt file, how would I go about finding that corrupt file?
    Any help would be appreciated.  I'm up against a deadline about to get into panic mode.  thanks!

    Michael,
                Try cutting your sequence into ten minute segments to narrow down the problem, if indeed it is a corrupt clip or file.
    You may also want to post your sequence settings, also do you have any stills in your timeline, if you do are they in RGB color space and not CYMK

  • Compressor quicktime error -50

    i have an fcp project i need to convert to mpeg 4 improved for fast cable streaming. after completing my upgrades of fcp 4.5 and compressor 1.2.1 and fixing the QMaster the file got to the batch monitor. after a second of processing it quit. history says failed: quicktime error-50. any ideas for a fix?

    If I may just chime in here with my experience with QT error -50, this seems to be a bug, which I have reported to the FCP development team. There is also another error that compressors batch monitor also reports which is Quicktime error -6662.
    These error seem to be quite prevalent on the Intel Mac Pros, but on my G5/quad these errors rarely occur. I have tested the same source files on both workstations, (Mac Pro and G5/quad) and the errors are just about exclusive to the intel's. Once in a blue moon I will get a quicktime error -50, preventing the encode to complete on the G5/quad.
    The preliminary opinion of Apple support was that the errors may be related to writing to any drive other than the boot drive, but seems to be a guess at this point, rather than fact. My testing of this hypotheses seems to disprove this assumption, being that I used the boot drive in my test as the destination drive, for encodes.
    Still waiting for Apple to address this problem.

  • 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 -2045. I can't use compressor! someone can help me?

    When I try to send any video with compressor, never starts. Always appear this message: Quicktime error -2045. I have looked on internet and didn't find anything about that. Someone can help me? what I'm doing wrong?
    thanks, Noelia

    What version of Compressor? Are you sending fom FCP X or another version of Final Cut?
    I don't know the implications of getting that particular error code.
