Transcoding gets hung up and never completes

Imported 10 GoPro files.
Selected all and started Trancode Media .... Create Optimized
Checked background monotir window and all was going well.
Went to sleep dreaming about the vid I'd put together the next day.
Got up and FCPx was hung on the second file.  0% CPU utilization.
Any clues/comments/advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

So....   back to the original issue.
Any ideas what is going on with FCPx and why it gets hung up and stalls when transcoding Proxy Media?
Just to point out…your original posts said FCP got hung up creating optimized media, which is Pro Res 422, not Proxy. My guess is that FCP would have been equally unhappy transcoding to optimized or proxy.
The idea of transcoding beforehand was to suggest a more reliable workflow, since FCP isn't always very happy dealing with MP4. If you do this process in Compressor or Streamclip the size of the files you create will be no greater than had they been created by FCP.

    If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.

  • My FCPX boots up and then says restoring windows and stays there and never completely boots.  I've tried everything.  Any thoughts?

    Please state what you have tried - there's no point in people here wasting their valuable (own) time trying to help you, only to find you've already tried what they are suggesting.
    Have you tried trashing your preferences?
    Unexplained faults like this can often be fixed by clearing out FCP X's preferences (for some reason, they get knotted up from time to time).
    Download Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager (free, simple to use, and perfectly safe, both to download and use).
    With Preference Manager, you can backup the Prefs first, then if trashing makes no difference, you can restore all your settings.
    If you trash them and don't restore them, you will need to manually restore all your FCP X settings again, so it's a great idea to backup Preferences from time to time when FCP X is working well, then if they get corrupted you can ditch the bad prefs and restore from your (Digital Rebellion) backup.
    Can't guarantee it, but it's worth a try.
    If that doesn't work, move your projects and events (if you have any) to new folders so that FCP X doesn't find them, then relaunch the application. If it launches OK, there's a very good chance one of your projects or events is corrupt or one of the files in an event is corrupt.
    Quit the app, then move one event or project at a time back to the original folder and launch FCP X agian - keep going until you find the cause.

  • In downloading a TV show from iTunes to my PC the file is stuck in processing and never completes the download

    When downloading a purchased TV show from the Itunes store to my PC (Windows 7) the file is stuck in processing and never completes the download.

    The EXACT same thing happened to me last night!  Rented a movie; it had barely started and then froze.  When I touch the video app icon, all I get is a blank, dimly lit screen.  None of the other videos I own will display either.  Was your problem ever resolved?

    Hello Marcia,
    Sorry you are having trouble syncing content with your iPhone 5. I found an article that might help with this syncing issue:
    iTunes: May become unresponsive when connecting iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3219
    Also, you can delete the songs from the iPhone without syncing by just swiping from left to right over the song to get a delete button. 
    I hope this helps!
    Best,

    Can you open the Preview program without loading a file, like by itself?
    If it doesn't load then I suspect a corrupt Preview preference file.
    Deleting the System Preference or other .plist file
    Can you open other files with Preview, like jpg's and images?
    How about other PDFs? or is it just that one you have downloaded?

  • Apple Quick Time is Loading, loading, loading and never complets

    I loaded Apple Quick Time that came with my iPod. When I click on the short cut it begins loading and never completes. It just remains in a loading state. Any ideas?

    hmmmm. is that a QuickTime 7.0.x, Dumo?
    if so, it might be worth upgrading to 7.1 or 7.1.3. see:

  • When I allow thumbnails to be generated, it can't find two (probably deleted awhile back) and now gets hung up and I have to force quit.  What should I do?

    Using latest version of iMovie.  Have two external harddrives for my movies.  Decided to finally allow "generate thumbnails" run.  While running, it says it can't find a couple clips and gets hung up - have to force quit.  What can I do?.  Also, anyway to speed things up?  Loading takes forever.  Thanks for any help! 

    To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
    Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

  • Pages is repeatedly getting hung up and won't open. Suggestions?

    Can anyone help with managing Pages so it won't get hung up? I went to the Apple store a few days ago, and someong force quit it and restarted. I tried that with a general restart, but it still wouldn't open.

    If you are having problems in a particular User then it usually is the reources of that user ie the .plists and the fonts.
    You haven't said how you had the problem again.
    Did you attempt to open the same file again in Pages or did you first try to just open a clean Pages template?
    As for the Genius Bar, just tell them everything, have the problem file available, but don't try it first. You try and narrow in on the problem, as in open in different User to demonstrate that Pages is OK. They usually consult here anyway.
    Try what works (if anything) then estabish the problem by eliminating other possibilities.
    Last resort is to delete Pages and all its system files and reinstall. That usually fixes it:

  • Mail gets hung up and won't quit completely

    More times than not when I try to quit mail all the windows will close but the "Mail" button in the toolbar remains highlighted and it just won't finish quitting. I typically have to finally Force Quit the app.
    Also when it is in this state and I try moving from app to app using the Command-Tab. There the Mail icon shows no unread message count where when I'm not trying to shut the app down it does show the number of unread mails in read.
    Any thoughts on that?
    Thanks,
    -Tom

    What is the mail envelope index that you mentioned? How do you reset it? I'm actually having a few problems simultaneously:
    1. Mail needs to be force quit. - I'm hoping that your Mail Envelope Index reset solves that, so please tell me what that is, how to do it.
    2. One of my mail accounts hasn't downloaded to Mail since 10:49 am this morning, but keeps downloading the same message, which is a mail undeliverable message. At 10:49 am I sent a single message to 8 addreses. One of the 8 had a dead address on comcast, and I keep getting a message delivered over and over again with a time of 10:49 am showing that it was undeliverable. In fact, even if I delete the ones I received, they come back again plus a new undelivered one each time I restart Mail. No other mail has come down on that account since 10:49 am. My ISP says that all looks fine on the server, although I see other messages listed there (webmail) that I don't see in my Apple Mail inbox. The ISP is resetting the server account, but I'm sure that's not the problem, and that something related to that undelivered message that I keep getting is blocking the rest of hte mail from coming down or showing. Anything I can try while I'm waiting for their reset of my server account to finish?

  • Render Ceases and NEVER completes??

    Hello good people - here is a funky quirk I have - I goto render my main composition in AE CS4
    - it begins - gets through usally more than a third of the comp
    - it does not matter which comp - any comp - and just stops. I have yet to successfully complete a comp on this new machine and fresh
    - 3rd install of the AE CS4. Does anyone have the slightest clue wy this is occurring?
    I would really welcome any help on this as I am fairly new to CS4 and I'm really pulling my hair out.
    Machine - Asus P5E3 Wifi Deluxe
    8GB Tripple channel 1600

    Many thanks good people, Derek in Florida.

    Hello Sébastien -
    ok - the problem remains - what I failed to mention in my previous posts was that it is occurring in the render preview as well - so no matter what my settings - I cannot figure this out.
    - When AE fails the render, do you have an error message? NO - there is no error message at all. Never has been once.
    - And what are your composition settings? What specifiaclly do you want me to share with you?  I'm basically using a deault stock AECS4 settings right now
    - As well, I have downloaded the newest update/fix from adobe.
    As for my render "medium" - TV - FLV - MPG4 - internet - DVD/Blue Ray and Quicktime. These are the typical uses I'm working with.
    Sorry guys, I've only been using AE for a few months and not well versed in troubleshooting. I simply cannot figure out why this is occurring.
    Please advise - Many thanks in advance. Derek
    The Ram preview won't probably preview your whole composition, it's a normal behavior. You can have more info about previewing here.
    I'm sorry, but we can't help you without further information. "Default Stock AECS4 setting" is just too vague. We have to know your composition setting to try to figure out your problem. I cannot imagine that you don't even know the resolution of your files. If your composition is open, please do "ctrl/cmd k" to open your composition setting. Also what is the lenght of your comp, the content (is it audio/video footage, cg stuff, psd/ai files....) and how you try to render it (file > export or via render queue). Also, your render medium for this composition is too vague for us to be able give any relevent hints. You cannot add your composition to render without at least selecting a filetype, and if you can provide us with as many information as possible on the fileformat (avi, mov, h264...) and the codec (uncompressed, indeo, animation, mjpeg......). All this info can be found in the output module.
    Also, if your render fails, without warning it's really strange. You should hae at least a dialogbox telling you a basic error message. In your folder where you tried to render your file, you may have a txt file containing the errors logged by the render engine. Could you paste it's content here ?
    And last but not least, are you using a demo or a retail version of AE CS4 ?

  • SQL Restore gets to 100% but never completes

    Hi all,
    I receive a daily database extract  (differential) and a monthly full extract. Each day the full extract is restored (NoRecovery) and the differential applied (recovery) into the same database.
    I had an issue this morning where the full extract commenced restoring but 6 hours later had not completed. It was showing 100% when running my dbcheck script, but would not complete. I terminated the restore, rebooted the server and tried again using a
    scripted restore (usually the restore is carried out via SSIS) and the problem recurred.
    I then tried deleting the DB, and the DB files, then doing the restore and this time it was successful.
    Has anyone got any ideas what might have cause the problem? What issues are there when restoring over an existing database? I am trying to establish root cause - any tips would be gratefully appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi
    First of all thank you for informing us, and for the thanks :-)
    Let me use a small analogic case: There are 3 steps in any Disease: first there is a
    reason, that caused the second which is the disease itself, third you get the
    symptoms, which can be seen.
    You gave us the symptoms (backups stopped at 100%) and you asked why, I gave you the answer which is the disease (The RESTORE include several phases... and you stuck in the next), and now you came with the reason for the "stuck in the next" (your
    IO problem...)
    * Since we are not familiar with your system,in the forum we cant give the reason but only guess the reason and give the disease and hopefully the cure as well (which is the fourth in my analog case).
    Have a good day :-)
