Error Sending To Soundtrack Pro General Error
a educational seminar. Part of my workflow is to export from FCP to Soundtrack Pro for sound fixes. 4 of the 5 pieces export properly, but one of them keeps resulting in a "General Error" message., with no file created. I've tried a couple of different work-arounds, re-started the computer, and even also gone back through the piece and put compression markers at every transition that involved a render. I keep getting the same result. Even more vexing is the fact that I completed all of these pieces before, successfully exporting all including this piece, and then decided, with my colleague, to go back and implement a series of changes into each piece. These changes were not major; there were jpeg slideshow images cut in, I went back and used a better method of creating the jpegs and then I went through the piece and substituted the old with the new. Some of them were extended, so there is slightly more information in the video tracks, but not so much that it should cause a problem. I can't find anything in FCP help or in your previous message index that refers to this problem; I figure it might be a simple fix, but as of now I'm baffled. Any ideas?

One of the most frequent causes for a general error while exporting is the presence of corrupted or non-standard clips on your timeline, such as CMYK graphics. If you are sure all your stills are OK, a next common cause is that your FCP preference files have become corrupted. Trash the FCP preference files and see if it works now. Best wishes, Ronny Reply Quote Re: Export: General Error (August 04, 2008 12:14PM) arovinsky Thanks Ronny I tried trashing the preferences first, since this was the last clip I exported, but that didn't fix it. The jpegs were indeed CMYK ( as exported from Powerpoint). and I presume I'll have to replace all of them to see if it works, but I'll let you know. At least the 3 I've converted so far don't show any degradation. I think that there's over 20 of them. Andy Rovins Reply Quote Re: Export: General Error (August 04, 2008 06:51PM) ronny

It has one of the least helpful warning dialogs and is frustratingly difficult to solve. However, I've learned that when a General Error occurs it is almost always related to a bad clip, or a bad render file, in your sequence. Maybe not always, http://www.kenstone.net/discussions/read.php?3,2414,2449 but this should be the first place to check.General Errors most often relate to render problems; either when you are rendering directly during editing, or rendering as part of an export. While there isn't a fast way to fix this, it can be fixed. Before you attempt to fix a General Error, it doesn't hurt to reset your system by doing https://larryjordan.com/articles/fcp7-general-error/ a Safe Boot.NOTE: Here's an article that explains how to do a Safe Boot: Trouble-Shoot in Five StepsTHINGS TO CHECK1. While Final Cut SHOULD be able to work with video of different frame rates, it can often have problems when a clip with a faster frame rate (say, 30 fps) is put into a slower sequence (say, 23.98 fps). Disable clips with different frame rates and see if the General Error goes away when you render.NOTE: To disable a clip, select it and type Control+B. A clip changes color when it is disabled.2. It is possible that a specific render file became corrupted. This isn't your fault, every so often it just happens. Delete all render files and see if the error goes away.NOTE: To delete all render files associated with a track, turn off the green visibility light, located in the track header on the left of the Timeline, then turn it back on. This is just a quick click - click. If you don't turn the visibility light back on, all clips in that track become invisible.3. Sometimes

Incidentally, when I import this isolated aif file into Soundtrack pro (from the original recording, not through FCP) I CAN see it and work on it. Weird, huh? Any thoughts?
