Final Cut Pro 7 General Error
PowerPC Mac had no issues with this whatsoever. Some other producers I know are having the same issue and we have similiar workflows. I cannot export my sequences either thru the Export tool or thru Compressor. Both fail final cut pro disk full everytime. I need help, deadlines are approaching and if I can't output my sequences....it will not be good.

The only way I was able to find the culprit out of the 300 or so final cut pro not enough disk space clips I had in the project was by adding them one after the other and trying to export. I've also had success fixing this problem once by trashing all my render files and creating a duplicate sequence to work from. Increase the auto save interval, max. undo's etc. and start eliminating. It's painful and time-intensive but as far as I'm aware the only way to get to a corrupted clip. Maybe someone out there knows of a tool that can batch check the integrity of clips and graphics though?

Duplicate your sequence, and cut your sequence in half. Try an export? Does it work? Great! We know the problem is in the half you cut. Now, add in half of the half of the sequence you cut. Repeat. Do it until you find the culprit. Do you have any gfx above 3K or 4K, in terms of frame size? I've often seen that cause issues....FCP no likey high res gfx. ~Michael .: michael kammes mpse .: senior applications editor . post workflow consultant .: audio specialist . act fcp . acsr .: michaelkammes.com .: twitter: @michaelkammes .: facebook: /mkammes Hear me pontificate: Speaking Schedule .Return to posts ind

Gigs are full of a lot of things other than cached files, so the http://blog.youdownwithfcp.com/2012/07/17/how-to-fix-out-of-memory-error-in-final-cut-pro-7/ actual number is even a bit smaller. The only thing that you https://hiddenmoonproductions.wordpress.com/2012/02/01/final-cut-pro-out-of-memory-error-fixed/ can do to prevent the error is actually to use less memory. Thankfully, here are a bunch of tips on how to do that. 1) NEVER edit in h.264 or any other compressed format. It will add a little bit of transcoding time to the beginning, but it will prevent a lot final cut of rendering and rerendering once in the edit. 2) Make your sequence settings (ideally) prores, and make sure that all of your footage is transcoded to the same flavor of prores (LT, HQ, 4444, whatever) This applies to framerate as well! 3) Ensure that your audio is aiff (not mp3) and at the same settings as your timeline. 4) Resize all stills to rough video final cut pro sizes. 30,000 pixel wide files will bog down fcp immediately so crop or scale it down to something closer to your timeline resolution. If photoshop does this once, then fcp doesn't need to do it a million times. 5) Flat stills are easier than layered files. FCP doesn't have to deal with the precomp that psds or layered tiffs come in as. 6) Close unneeded tabs in the timeline and canvas. So that's basically it. Pre-process your footage to be 100% the same as your timeline and work with as few sequences open as possible. In my experience it seems that once things start erroring there is very little that helps outside of a restart. ~ by ross on July 17, 2012. Posted in FCP, glitch 5 Responses to "How to fix "Out of memory" error in Final Cut Pro 7" Thanks for the list Ross. I keep coming up against that wretched message all the time even when using ProRes… Then again I've been working on some pretty hefty HD projects recently. Have found that if you get the message, flushing some render files using Tools->Render Manager can free up e
Final Cut Pro "Out of Memory" Error…FIXED! Booyah Final Cut! Take that! I dont know if anyone who reads this uses FCP7 but if it even helps one person with this INCREDIBLY annoying problem then its worth confusing some readers. Every once and a while I'll be editing a project and go to render and see this. I know I'm NOT out of memory… In fact, I am currently only using 30% of my RAM. What the hell Final Cut? In searching the web I found a couple solutions that worked for some people but I figured out one that has worked every time this pesky error shows up. Here is a simple timeline where the error popped up. Nothing special. Just some opening graphics, interviews strung back to back with supers. How could something this simple cause any problems? The sequence settings looked like this. Here's the solution: - Click in the timeline. - Select all (Command+A) - Copy (Command+C) - Right-click in the Browser window and make a "new sequence" - Right-click on the new sequence go to settings. - Manually set the settings to match the original sequence (if it is using Compressor settings of either HDV or H.264 you might want to change this to some form of ProRes) - Paste the previously copied timeline in the new sequence. (Command+V) - Render! I bet you've never been so happy to see a progress bar have you? Now go get a beer and celebrate while your sequence renders and you feel that warm feeling of relief come over you… Unless you're at work. In that case, GET BACK TO WORK.
