QuickTime Error:-50

Good Morning;

I am not able to upload to YouTube a 7:51 project. The project was edited in FCPX. My work flow from FCX is Share/YouTube, I fill in the necessary YT blanks and choose 1080p & better quality(multi-pass). I have tried 3 times and always get the same warning Quicktime Error;-50. The Share Monitor advises that it has 100% uploaded in 1:16:25.

Any suggestion?

Thanks

Kent

Thanks Jon,

I have your software on another computer. I will import and run it here.

Enjoy

Corrupt Clip Finder is an excellent tool to troubleshoot your issue.

DRM audio or CMYK stills are the most common causes for corrupt files in any NLE.

FCPX does not really need H.264 to be optimized to ProRes, it handles native H.264 very well if your system is fast enough.
Same applies to audio: AIFF and WAV are indeed the best formats to work with, but contrary to legacy FCP FCPX handles other audio files extremely well, without any hiccups.

Best wishes,

Ronny;
Thanks this topic is running on two threads. My fault, sorry.

Hi Jon,

Correct, I have read some reports as well. That's why I avoid using any MP3 audio in my projects although FCPX does play these files without any problems or need to render.

Is MP3 not a supported audio format? The FCPX help lists it as OK but then it lists H.264. I have a MP3 audio file in the timeline.

I know it is turkey day but I feel like a dog chasing my tail.

Jon, earlier this year I purchased your Pro Maintenance tools for my laptop. Can I install it on my iMac and is there an update for FCPX?

Thanks guys

Kent

Ronny,
I checked every video clip all are ProRes 422, stills are either TIFF or PNG and the audio is AIFF. I exported it again and I still don't have any audio after 1:45.

Ouch

Kent

Good idea!

Best wishes,

Ronny

Success!!!!!
There was a cross dissolve at 1:45. I deleted it and all is good.

Thanks guys for sticking with me.

Any idea why a cross dissolve would cause that?

Happy days!

Kent

Yep good to know. Never heard of such an issue before. But very happy you found the cause.

Best wishes,

Kent,

You system specs are fine, your graphics card is supported and you have more than sufficient RAM.

MP3 is officially supported, i.e. it plays in FCPX without any need for rendering, BUT there have been reports of issues like yours and these were related to using MP3 audio. So now that you know your stills are OK this would be the next thing I would check. Make a duplicate of your project, then on the duplicate remove any MP3 audio and try to export.

One more thing: as you mention your system is slow (which it shouldn't be with your specs) AND exporting takes time (FCPX is famous for its really fast export) this makes me think you really are working with native H.264 video and not with ProRes.

R-click a video clip in your Events Browser and select "Reveal in Finder". The clip will appear in a Finder window. R-click the clip and select "Show Info". What's the format of the clip?

Best wishes,

Ronny
