Compressor

[Robbie Comeau]

I am trying to export a 24 minute show from final cut with these specs in compressor:

Video Specifications: HD
Container Format Quicktime (.MOV)
Video Codec XDCAM EX 1080i60
Optimal Bit Rate (CBR) (35 Mb/s VBR)
Frame Width 1920
Frame Height 1080
Field Dominance Upper
Frame Rate 29.97
Audio Specifications:
# of Audio Channels 2
Audio Sample size 16 bit
Audio Sample rate 48 KHz
Audio Codec Linear PCM

I submit the file, and it fails after about 2 hours and it says: Failed: Quicktime Error -50

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks,
Rob

Best thing to do is not to export from FCP using Compressor. I've never had good experiences with that.

Export a self-contained FCP movie at current project settings, then quit FCP and use either Compressor or MPEG StreamClip to do the conversion outside of FCP.
