While exporting i get "general error"

I was doing a project that was had about 12 different sections so I just edited them all in different sequences. Well when I was done I just took all of the sequences from the browser and dropped them on the time line and rendered it. I then exported it as QuickTime conversion as an uncompressed file. It would get to about 40% and it would just stop and a window would come up and all it would say is general error. What is wrong, thankyou Joe.

It could be many things. Whatever it is its about 40% of the way in your timeline.
It could be a corrupt clip or graphic. More likely to be a graphic so if there any graphics around there make sure they are RGB and not CMYK.
It could be a corrupt render. Select a chunk in the vicinity and Control Click>Choose Remove Attributes> Make sure NOTHING is selected and choose OK. The render it again.
FWIW I had this issue a LOT with a project I worked on recently. I think I had a cranky drive. It kept corrupting my audio render files. So every time it would happen I would just do the remove attributes trick with the audio and that would fix it most of the time.
Post back and let us know if any of that helped or not.

Hello, what OSX version?
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

I am trying to edit a project originally started on another computer, by someone else and saved onto an external h-drive, but keep getting 'general error 48' when I try to render it to work further. Can anyone help?

I am trying to edit a project originally started on another computer, by someone else and saved onto an external h-drive, but keep getting 'general error 48' when I try to render it to work further. Can anyone help?

Is this problem only occurring with the project you copied from an external drive, or with any FCP project?
For example, if you were to create a new project, do you still have this problem?
In FCP, if you go to the menu FInal Cut Pro > System Settings and look at the Scratch Disks Tab, is it set where you expect it to be? Have you tried switching the scratch disk to a different disk?

What are the properties of your source clips for your project? Click on the source clip in the FCP browser, and once selected type Command + 9 to see the properties of the clip. Either report those properties, or take a screen shot of the Item Properties and post it here.
What are your sequence settings?
Click anywhere on the timeline, and type Command + 0 {zero}, then either report them or take a screen shot of your sequence settings and post it here.
Have you tried restarting your system?
Have you tried trashing your Final Cut Pro preferences?

I get "General Error" when trying to playback unrendered video, and when trying to export to my desktop and I'm not sure why.

I import video footage into Final Cut Pro 7, added some effects like motion blur and colour correction, and cannot playback the video whilst it is not rendered. I click the play button but it just says "general error". This also happens when trying to export to my desktop "general error" once again. Does anyone know what is going on?
My RT settings are:
Safe RT or Unlimited RT (I get the error on either setting)
Framerate & video quality - Dynamic
27" iMac i7 @ 3.4GHz
4GB Ram
2GB Radeon 6970m

Hmmmm it seems to be just that file. The rest of my files are fine. I tweaked some settings and tried other files and it worked, so maybe it was just me, I am very new to Final Cut after all. Turns out I'm OK now! Thanks anyway!

Fix nonstop LR 1.1 errors "an error occured while exporting" and "an unknown error occured"

I downloaded Lightroom v1.1 & imported images. At least lightroom 1.1 could import images without crashing due to "out of meoory errors".
Then attempted to develop various images. It did not take long to start having major Lightroom 1.1 errors.
"An error occured while exporting", and no image created.
Or constant "an unknown error occured" while trying to view and develop.
Once again these RAW files can be viewed, and converted by Canon Digital Photo Professional & Adobe Photoshop. So the problme is the same old major flaws in Lighroom that make it unusable.
OK, I accept one fact. Lightroom is alpha or beta-ware and not in any way ready to be sold for public use.
Adobe suckered me for $199 for Lightroom. If Adobe will refund my money I will buy future Adobe products. If not, I am finished with Adobe.

With your attitude, I'm not surprised...if you want help, porvide the basics needed for troubleshooting-you know, OS, system version, what kind of files, what kind of HSs, where the images are being stored...otherwise, kindly buzz off. This is a User to User forum so the only people seeing your attitude is other users and we get kinda tired having of useless posts cluttering the boards. And your's is nothing but useless.

Getting general error when saving site using "create PDF from"

I'm using Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0.0 for Mac, trying to save websites. This started working fine, but I had to shut down in the middle of a site being saved. Now when I try to save a site using Web Capture/create PDF from I get a "general error, nothing was saved". What do I need to do, remove, replace, reinstall or whatever to get this feature working again?
Also can anyone tell me how to set the feature that saves web pages with the headers and footers showing date, time, URL, page title, etc. I often use the print feature (save to PDF) and up until a day or so ago it always saved with those headers and footers. Now they're missing, which is what prompted me to try saving entire sites, above. I remember setting these a long time ago and being able to choose what went on the left, right,header and footer, but I cannot find those settings now.
Thanks,
Michele

Well, after downloading Applejack, I am completely confused. I'm not sure I understand what will happen if I do any of these steps: see 3a.. "clean out all cache files including the Launch Services database and any cached User Pictures". What kinds of things will I lose? Can I choose only the Acrobat cache files? I don't want to have to spend hours or days resetting things as I'm in the middle of a project with a close deadline. I also don't really understand fully what will happen with all the other things they discuss. The instructions say (I just copied and pasted these):
3. Auto mode: You can let the script run through its tasks automatically by typing 'applejack auto'. If you want the machine to automatically restart at the end of its tasks, use 'applejack auto restart'. You can also tell the computer to shut down automatically at the end by using the command line 'applejack auto shutdown'.
3a. Deep Auto mode: If you want to let AppleJack clean out all cache files, including the Launch Services database and any cached User Pictures, use 'applejack AUTO' instead. Use this if you still have problems booting after running AppleJack already.
4. Interactive mode: To run through just one task, or to run the script manually, type 'applejack' and then choose tasks from the menu. Running the script in interactive mode has the benefit of giving you options for working with user level cache and preference files, not just the default system level caches and preferences. To select an option, type the highlighted number or letter associated with the action, and then hit return. Whenever you enter a choice in AppleJack, you will need to hit return for that choice to take effect.
4. Corrupted preference files are moved into a directory that will mirror the original preference directory, with (Corrupt) added to the directory name. For example, corrupt preferences files found in ~/Library/Preferences will be moved to ~/Library/Preferences (Corrupt). After running AppleJack, you'll probably want to take a look at them (and most likely throw out those folders). As of version 1.4.2, AppleJack now creates a copy of the directory tree inside the (Corrupt) folder so that if any files were deeply nested inside the original preference folder, they will be placed in an identical directory hierarchy in the new (Corrupt) folder. This way, if for any reason you would want to move a preference file back, you know where it should go.
6. AppleJack has a primitive logging mechanism. It writes a journal of most of its activity to /var/log/AppleJack.log. AppleJack will automatically reset the log the next time you run it, if the file should ever reach a size somewhat over 500k.

Multi clip won't open, get general error message

I have a multi clip that contains only 2 clips. When I double click the multi clip, I get a "General Error" "Out of Memory" message. I threw away the preferences and restarted, not sure what else to do. FCP 5.0.6

Probably something to do with having a non-existant version of FCP
Of the 5.0 series, 5.0.4 was the last.
What do you really have?
Seriously though, what video format are you using, what is your Easy Setup and Sequence Setting?
Where is the source material located on your computer?

I can't export and get this error message...

So I've been working on a video project for several weeks now... but when I go to export the file to any format, or site like Facebook, Vimeo, Youtube, etc I get this error message...
(com.apple.Compressor.CompressorKit.ErrorDomain error -1.)
I have no idea what it means or how to fix it. I tried just googling some answers but no luck. Anyone here able to help?
Cheers

If you are using the original version 10.0 with Mavericks then you simply update to the newer FCP X 10.1.1.
Be aware that this new version is very different in some ways particularly with the way media is managed.
There is now the Library method of storing Projects and Events within Libraries.
Older Projects and Events require an internal FCP X UPDATE process.
See here for the basics:

Cannot export zoneset, getting the error ""interface not isolated""

Customer is trying to run the command "zoneset export vsan <VSAN ID> and is getting the error "interface not isolated". Looking the manuals, it sounds that the interface should not really be isolated. The customer has a new mds 9124 and is trying to integrate it in the san that has another mds9513 and a brocade. The domain if of the new mds is 100. The mds9513 domain id is 99 and the brocade domain id is 98. The interop mode is 1 in all the switches. Does someone has any idea what is happening?

onal instruments\lookout". Even though when I use windows explorer I can plainly see the file in that directory. I have tried re-installing the software and that does not seem to help. Is there a step that I am missing. I never had this problem with 4.0.1.Sukesh Puri
well i think that u are creating the web page but the paths u are giving in web export options are arbitrary..like u are export it to the local directory in the hark disk and in the server url u are giving the arbitrary path but not accessing it till now...to correct this option see the code of the u'r generated html page and see from where it is retrieving code just change the url to the local folder instead of server url given of required ddl..

I always get "general error" when I change value of "Digitizer"

I tried to capture a Prores422 project by FCP6 and Kano3 card.
I changed setting of "Capture Preset Editor" to ensure capture what I needed.
I think parameter value of "Digitizer" will determine Bit Depth of the project.
The original value of "Digitizer" is "AJA 8-bit Digitizer". If I selected "AJA 10-bit Digitizer",it will pop up generel error.
If I re-select the value to "AJA 8-bit Digitizer", it will still pop up general error.
Please give me a hand.
Is bit depth (8bit or 10bit) is determined by the setting of "Digitizer"?
If yes, why does it always pop up general error when I changed it.

From the information available it appears that your install could be conflicting with a previous version or installation. I would recommend reviewing your installation logs to verify the root cause of your difficulties. You can find directions on how to review your installation logs at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.
