Final Cut Error Out Of Disk Space
• PRINT • NEXT >> • Error: Out of Disk Space (while exporting) by Ryan Domis on May 13, 2011 at 7:35:51 pm I have an issue that is both alarming and annoying. I am trying to export a self contained quicktime mov file and before it even starts, it says "Error: Out of Disk Space." I have almost a terabyte of free space with 8 GB's of RAM. I have googled and searched on creative cow for a solution and Ive seen that trashing your preferences is a good way to fix it. Can someone please tell me how to properly trash my preferences and renew them so I dont lose the ability to have preferences? Also.. everytime I try to fix the " Export: minimum allowable size" and change the amount.. it goes right back to the original number every time i reopen the window. All help is appreciated. I tried to use previous answers to fix this but i need specifics on how to trash and renew the preferences. I am using a MacPro with Final Cut 6.0.6 File sequence is DVCPROHD 720/24p foootage is dvcprohd 720/24pN shot with hvx200 exporting using H.264Return to posts indexReport Post •Re: Error: Out of Disk Space (while exporting)by David Roth Weiss on May 13, 2011 at 7:58:35 pm1) Check all of your drives for space, not just the one you're aiming at. 2) Trash preferences 3) Fix permissions on the system drive in Disk Utility.

Downloaded the Rebellion FCP maintenance pack ($139) 2. Trashed Preferences. 3. It still didn't work automatically. What was different however was the fact that I was able to finally change my settings/preferences , save them and use them as such instead of it resetting to the previous preference. This was all due to the easy preference management that took care of it at one click of a button. Thanks creative cow!Return to posts indexReport P

Where are your scratch/temp/cache files located, and how much disk space is available on that volume? –user9290 Mar 16 '12 at 17:42 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 0 down vote .DV tends to be about 4MB/sec. So 5 hours is about 18,000 seconds, so you are looking at a capture of about 72000MB, 72G so you should be fine.. Are you sure the Capture Scratch disk is set properly? Sometimes it's set to the wrong drive you want to capture to. Check Preferences if you are using FCP, if you are using FCPX it might be somewhere else, not sure how you set capture disks in FCPX.. share|improve this answer answered Mar 16 '12 at 17:56 Robert 1792 add a comment| up vote 0 down vote I found that System settings- Minimum allowable free space on scratch disks: Set mine to 1000MB and everythng has worked since doing this. share|improve this answer answered Oct 2 '15 at 14:59 Bob 1 add a comment| Your Answer draft saved draft discarded Sign up or log in Sign up using Google Sign up using Facebook Sign up using Email and Password Post as a guest Name Email Post as a guest Name Email discard By posting your answer, you agree to the privacy policy
