Can't get playback through firewire...help!!!

[Joe Walker]

We've just edited a short film for a 48hr film contest, it's due in 6 hours, and we can't get it to playback throught the firewire. Everytime we hit play it plays for two seconds and locks up on the computer with audio still playing and NOTHING goes out through the firewire. We've tried the Digital Video Blue/Green toggle button and it won't work either. Need help, advice, anything. Thanks.

Did you render you entire timeline before trying the digital cut?

As far as 48 hour films go, congrats! You have 6 hours to spare, which is pretty good in my experience.

Perhaps there is time to render out to DVD instead of going back to tape?

What version of Xpress Pro? Of course based on time it looks like you've now only got two hours....

Are you in gren/green mode?

Everything's cool, just some corrupted files had to be deleted. We got it in way on time. We even traveled five hours from home to get shots on a beach. It all worked out. Thanks for your help guys.
