I have also tried to export from FCP using compressor and have received the "failed" warning. Try exporting a quicktime quicktime file compressor (NOT using the export conversion) just a quicktime so the icon is a FCP icon, then import that file into compressor.

The only recent change was updating Quicktime and purchasing the pro option from Apple. jmfReturn to

It works and I don't hink it's really a work around, think about it this way, let's say another editor gave you the quicktime file to compress for him because he doens't have DVD studio pro, this is the way you would have to get the file into compressor. Does this make sense? Sorry, but you might have to change your workflow.Return to posts indexReport Post•Re: Compressor error "Failed: Quicktime Error: 0"by jmf on Jan 14, 2006 at 8:48:30 pmOkay, it was an interesting journey; here is the skinny: The error was caused by a missing mpeg2 component in Quicktime. The timeline looked okay (no unrendered clips) but when compressor hit the mpeg element it failed causing the error. Also note worthy is that adding the missing mpeg2 component to Quicktime causes FCP (at least versions 4.x) to pause, as if it is not responding, before finally opening. I pu

Quicktime Movie Compressor
Effects, and Photoshop. After we upgraded some of our classroom machines to Snow Leopard (Mac quicktime compressor mac OS X 10.6), an old problem reared its head when we tried to use Compressor to render H.264 video. When we would submit jobs quicktime compressor for windows directly from FCP using the Share -> Using Compressor option in Final Cut Studio 3, the Compressor jobs would fail with "Quicktime Error -120." And once one job failed, all the jobs that came after would fail too.Asking https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/8/878930 around the office, nobody could say for sure what Error -120 stood for – but one of our old-timers did suggest a fix. Simply pick "Reset Background Processing" from the Compressor application menu, and Compressor will flush out any old flotsam from its background rendering pipeline.After the jump, a little bit about what Reset Background Processing does ... In basic terms, Compressor offloads its compression jobs to a background distributed rendering engine called QMaster. Incidentally, this engine can http://www.geniusdv.com/news_and_tutorials/2009/12/quicktime_error_-120_in_compressor.php also power background rendering for Maya and Shake if you want it to. The catch is that, even though you may only be using your local workstation to render your video, QMaster still goes through the motions of setting up shared folders and job lists and chunking out the render for distribution.Normally, this just means that Compressor is insanely easy to set up for a distributed render. Unfortunately, it also introduces an awful lot of moving parts to the render process. Any of these is prone to break – and, in our experience so far with Snow Leopard (10.6.2), Apple still hasn't quite worked all the kinks out of the Compressor render pipeline.So if you're a heavy Final Cut Studio user, you might want to put off your Snow Leopard upgrade until the next round of system updates – and if you're already upgraded, get used to using that "Reset Background Processing" function with some frequency. Because, as we all know, things wait to break until you're right on deadline.

Simon Hi Ken, I have tried everything. I am trying to send a FCP project to Compressor, but it immediately reports: "Failed: Final Cut Pro generated an error or unexpectedly quit". FCP didn't quit, http://www.kenstone.net/discussions/read.php?3,16497 so FCP generated an error. I have trashed prefs, restarted the computer, opened a new project and copied the clips onto a new sequence. I opened a previous project on a different internal drive and tried to compress, and it failed also. I have to get this done by tomorrow, does it sound like there is a solution somewhere?

(September 13, 2009 02:16PM) Ken Stone Admin Trig, It would really help if I knew what verion of QT and FCP, also what codec in FCP and how are you going to Compressor? What preset in Compressor? You have to provide information. --ken Reply Quote Re: FCP to Compressor Failed: FCP generated an error or...

If that isn't what you need to know, where do I find the specific output codec FCP uses? One thing for sure, it fails as soon as I click on the second submit button Other info found: The inspector reports NTSC 4:3, 29.97, SD DVD Stream Usage, Ext.m2v, Jobs segmented Pixel aspect ratio: NTSC CCIR 601/DV, Bit rate: 6.0 DVD Studio Pro met-data enabled In the mean time, I am using a QT movie in DVDSP4 to get the job done. Not sure how hard that is. Thanks, hope you can get me back on track. Trig Reply Quote Re: FCP to Compressor Failed: FCP generated an error or... (September 13, 2009 03:55PM) Ken Stone Admin Try it this way. Quit Compressor. Select the Sequence in the Browser or in the Timeline, set In and Out points. File > Export > QT (Not with Conversion). Make Self Contained, Use Current Settings, Do Not Recompress all frames. Drop the QT export into Compressor. --ken Reply Quote Re: FCP to Compressor Failed: FCP generated an error or...
