Why wont Final Cut let me export my movie?

I have been using final cut since it came out, and recently I started editing a 13 minute documentary on the history of my town. When i was finally done putting on the final touches, i tried to export it, and recieved this message:
I've tried to export it several times, but I always get the same message, and always with a DIFFERENT frame number.
I am exporting my movie to H.264 format, the file is 1920 X 1080 at 23.98 fps.
Can somebody help me out please?

What software version? What OS version?
Trash preferences. Trash render files. Switch off background rendering.

  • Final Cut Pro difficulty exporting QuickTime movie out to external drive

    Hi every one I hope some one can help me figure out why whenever I export a Quicktime movie and save it on an external LaCie drive, two files come out with the same name but one has an -av1 extension. And if I delete that file the original movie doesn't play.
    Any one has any idea???
    please help!
    thanks.

    Your external drive is probably formatted as MS-DOS. It has a file size limit of either 2Gb if formatted as FAT16 or 4GB if formatted as FAT32.
    In either case, reformat the drive to Mac OS Extended. You will lose any material on the drive in the reformat process unless you copy it to another drive.

  • Final Cut Pro X Export Speed Problems

    I'm having problems getting any real processor speed out of my Final Cut Pro X exports. Whether I do a direct native Pro Res export straight from FCPX or send to compressor with the same settings, or even change them to H.264 or something else, i more often get processing that looks like the included picture, barely one processor being tapped. Sometimes ill get 50 percent which is probably all direct export is meant to use, seems like Qmaster distributed processing still doesn't work here. Once i get the file out and then bring that into Compressor 4 I get no issues, can get 50 percent with regular submit and full speed all cores running with Quickcluster submit. Any ideas why this is happening?
    Just to be clear, these are native ProRes HQ clips, no effects, nothing, just selects I'm trying output, and since we can't do reference clips anymore, well....

    TThe most common cause of this problem is that the media hasn't been imported properly and is still referencing a camera card or archive. If you press Cmd-E and no dialog appears, this can be one cause.
    BTw, this is primarily a user to user forum, so no one here really cares if you go and use Premiere.

  • Final cut pro not exporting to youtube?

    Final cut pro isnt exporting to youtube? why is this and what can i do to fix it?

    Isn't exporting to YouTube? Why? Can't see your computer. What's happening on it?
    Are the keywords in the export tags too long?

  • Why new final cut X is so restrictive connected clips? I do not see benefit.

    I am coming from final cut 7 and I have no idea why new final cut X is so restrictive in having primary storyline and connected clips. I loved how in FC7 all clips were independent in timeline and gave you freedom to move and organize your clips however you wanted.
    Now I have to take extra steps or jump through hoops to move clips around becaused they are connected to primary storyline. Like I have to create secondary storylines. Really??
    I do not see any benefit to connected clips except that it automatically follows primary storyline when you move primary clip around - which most of time I do not want it to do.  We should be able to turn this off because I do not see any benefit to connected clips with primary storyline.
    FCX is dictating how we organize clips on timeline which is way more restrictive than FC7. This is just wrong.
    Also bring back enable tracks. Why in the world did they remove tracks. Tracks work and is easier to visualize and organize clips in timeline. Like if I wanted to disable audio or video for a track it was just one click in FC7.  Now there are extra steps in FCX  They should enable this for people who are use to tracks.
    They should really talk scold to whoever mad scientist who wanted to make FCX more restrictive than FC7 and impose their workflow on everyone else.
    I like magnetic timeline where you can move clips around and other clips will automatically move to make room for it. This save time.
    So can we disable connected clips and let us enable tracks just like better FC7?

    The first Quantel NLE, back in the 80ies, was mimicing the Moviola - showing vertical stripes of 'film'.
    So, you could ask "Why have they changed to horizontal?"
    On editing film, you wrote with some white wax pen an X onto it, to indicate a dissolve....
    So, you could ask "Why have they changed that to drag'n drop grey boxes?"
    On recording they hold a clapper into the cam, to 'sign' the time-code.
    So, you could ask "Why have they changed that to meta-tags, hidden invisible in the file?"
    Aside doing compos ('Brady Bunch', '24'), there are no 'tracks' in no movie.
    In any movie, there's always just a single storyline...
    If you like to apply 'variations', get customed to FCPX' Auditions.
    If you like to adjust cut-aways, get customed to the various trim/ripple/nudge options of FCPX.
    If you like to pre-select clips, get customed to the Events-concept and its endless options (you can even abuse to create 'bins'!) to tag clips.
    If you like to 'pre-comp', get customed to FCPX' compounds and their own timelines.
    It is a different, a new way of editing. That simple.
    As others told you: nobody forces you to adopt it.
    There's AP, there's DaVinci Resolve .... and many others.
    And you even can Position a clip...

  • Final cut pro X export files bigger than originals

    I got two WMV files, each file size about 500mbs, I converted them to mp4 using permute. Afther converting, each file size about 490mbs.
    Then I open the mp4 files with final cut pro, I just want to mend the two clips together, it's that simple. I finish puting the clips adjacent to each other. Then hit export and chose encoding method .h264.
    When final cut finished exporting, the movie is over 4GB in size.
    Why is it so big ? the orginal files combined size is just about 1 GB.

  • Ripping dvd footage to Final Cut and re-exporting to DVD

    Greetings,
    I'm taking footage off of various dvd materials with the intention of bringing them into final cut and re-exporting an edited product onto dvd. My method has been, thus far: to rip whichever chapters I'm looking for using Mac the Ripper, bring the chapters (VOBs) into MPEG Streamclip for 100% quality conversion to the 'Apple DV - PAL' setting, and then bringing those files into final cut for editing. However, it seems no matter what my export setting is, I'm getting quality loss on the finished product - a bit of pixelation (most evident on high-def televisions), etc. Converting the .VOBs to an Uncompressed setting wouldn't work as I'm working with hours of accumulated footage and the space it would consume wouldn't be a possibility. What I don't understand is why, when I burn a cloned dvd using Mac the Ripper there's hardly any quality loss at all, but here I'm getting quite a bit. Is this due to a re-compression happening somewhere? And is there any way of getting rid of it? Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank You.

    There is about four or five generational losses in your workflow.
    There isn't a way around that.
    Use the original footage to preserve quality in the process.
    Plus, why is MacTheRipper necessary with non commercial DVDs?

    Look, you can build an HD DVD with an SD movie, just as you can build an SD DVD with an HD movie. This is not a bug, it is most likely user error. Apple will not be addressing it.
    Just start over, and ensure you are building an SD DVD by bringing up the inspector for the disc (click on the background in the Graphical tab).
    Make sure SD DVD is selected:
    (If you do the same thing on your ill fated project, you'll see that HD DVD is selected)
    Build your DVD and you'll be fine.
    Patrick
    P.S. You will need to google HD DVD and Blu-Ray if you want to understand the difference between the formats. The reason that DVDSP included HD DVD was that its format was similar to SD DVD's. Blu-Ray is something else entirely.

  • Final Cut having problems exporting after updating to Maverick

    Since the update, Final Cut will only export videos in a reasonable amount of time when Final Cut is open to the front. Otherwise a 45 minute video takes 8+ hours to export. Not sure what has happened or how in the world to fix this.

    Anyone Please Help i need to send these Documents and can't. Thanks

  • How does final cut pro x export a file if it has not finished rendering?

    How does final cut pro x export a file if it has not finished rendering?
    So today I finished a project: Share >Export > as a pro res 422 and I'm now burning with iDVD as we speak. FCPX is still doing background rendering! I hope my DVD turns out ok....

    You don't need to render before export.
    Rendering is for playback.
    If your project plays OK from the storyline, you can safely turn off rendering in preferences.

  • HT4589 Why did final cut x lose some fonts?  how do I retreive and reinstall fonts from Final Cut X 10.0.7?  that that isn't possible can I reinstall the previous version of final cut x?

    Why did Final Cut X 10.0.8 lose fonts?  How do I get these fonts back (namely Chapparal Pro and Trajan Pro)?  If that is not possible, can someone tell me how to reinstall 10.0.7?  Thank you for your help.

    Great suggestion, but I don't have the Time Machine running to help solve that issue.  If I hadn't had a backup of those fonts on another computer, where would you have recommended that I go to get them? Is there a free Apple font bank online?  Thanks again.
    I have these fonts, and did not install them specifically, so I had thought they must have come standard with OS X.
    However, I did find an online list of the fonts that came with Lion: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5098?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US; and likewise for Mountain Lion: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5379
    These two fonts are NOT in the list. Googling further seems to show that these fonts are from Adobe, so they may have been installed together with some Adobe software.

  • Can I use Final Cut During Compressor Export?

    Hi,
    This is my first time using compressor and I'v read that you can use Final Cut while Compressor exports. When I start to export from Compressor, I get a message on Final Cut that says Frame X (what ever frame the export is on) and I can't use Final Cut when Compressor is exporting. I have rendered everything in Final Cut's timeline. Can I use Final Cut while compressor exports?
    Thanks,
    Zevie

    Zevie,
    You would not lose any quality. You will speed things up considerably.
    To set up compressor to use all your free cpu, you need to enable sharing with qmaster. On your system preferences, there should be a qmaster item.
    There are lots of posts about how to set it up. Do a search on it. I think even apple has instructions on how to do it. You can read the compressor manual as well.
    It is called distributed processing, and you will want to set up a quick cluster.
    Here is an article about it. The only thing that I know is different is on Snow Leopard, you may have to select "Managed" in the services box for compressor. This will allow you to select the number of instances.
