Can't Share Project - Error-1

14 Jul 2014 16:54 - 14 Jul 2014 16:55 #49890 by Rbelfi
I keep getting the Error-1 message when trying to export my master file. It picked a frame that only had stabilization, so I move slipped the clip to removed that specific farm from the project and now I'm getting the same problem on a different clip/frame. Any suggestions on how to resolved this?

My footage has been transcoded to prores and I'm using 10.1.2.

This error can occur either because of corrupt Analysis files or because of conflicting Render Files.

Delete your Project Render Files (select Project icon and choose File > Delete Generated Project files > Delete Render Files). Then either re-render the timeline and try exporting again, or just export without rendering.

I deleted the render files and I'm exporting the master file now without re-rendering first. It's been failing around the 12% mark so I'll report back hopefully after it works! Thanks Ronny.

It seems to have failed at the same frame as the previous attempt with the same error. First frame 12178, then 12616, then 13270. There's nothing done to these clips besides stabilization. Any ideas on what could be the cause?

Bummer. This brings us to the second option: corrupt analysis files.

You can delete the stabilization analysis files in the Library which will force FCP X to analyze the clips again when you start it back up. But unfortunately this will not always solve the issue.

Sometimes this problem arises when you stabilize native long-GOP (AVCHD, H.264 etc...) clips with Optical Flow. Is this the case here?

The analysis files could be the cause, The original footage is a mix of avchd and h.264 that was all transcoded to prores by fcpx. Some of the clips may have optical flow check off as well. I trashed all the preference files and re-opened FCPX and have begun another try of exporting the master file at the moment.

Last week I had the same problem. I changed my preference to frames, found the frame (it was blank) and deleted it. The project had no problems exporting then.

The issue is happening again, each clip/frame is there, but as Ronny mentioned it may be from optical flow. Is there a way to select every clip and make sure clips are normal? To go through every clip of an hour project will take too long.

Also, does this mean we shouldn't be using optical flow anymore?

I too had this issue once. My project was mostly Canon 7D and stills, but it turned out it was a single clip show on the iPhone 5 that was causing the trouble. In the inspector it showed an odd frame rate.

I isolated the bad clip it by exporting sections of the timeline. In case you didn't know you could do this, select a range on the timeline with the range tool or I & O and then export. I did little chucks of 5 minutes each and then I was able to find the issue.

I hope this helps.

I thought about doing that, but so far I've had 3 different clips give me the error and they are all from 2 different cameras. I feel like at this rate I'm going to have to export, get an error, fix, repeat until i get to the end.

Weird. So what is common about those clips? Do they have a similar plugin used? effect?

A mix of stabilization, re-time, and/or optical flow. Nothing 3rd party used on them.

I would grab some of those problem clips, paste in new timeline and see if the problem still persists. Also if you remove those items, one by one, does it resolve it?

It seems to be an optical flow issue on the clips that have come back lately. Is there a way to select all or a group and make them all normal again?

Yes you can group-select multiple clips that have been retimed using Optical Flow and change the Retiming Video Quality of all the clips all at once.

The great thing about this in FCP X is that, because the analysis files are still there, you always can switch back to Optical Flow without having to analyze the clips again.

Sure, just select the multiple clips by shift or command clicking and then choose normal from the menu.

Looks like Ronny and I posted at the same instant!

I was able to do this for smaller groups, but not for my entire project. Hopefully by hitting the different groups I caught the problem clips and that this will be the last time exporting.
