CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP. I am trying to export my timeline project and it goes about halfway through then I get this message.

EXCEPTION

Movie export from procedures failed, errcode-2034

I am exporting it to a quicktime movie. In the settings I have it exporting HDoutput. Native, 1920 by 1080 custom. 

Desperate, I am at a deadline for film festival for my short. I used this to export my trailer and it worked. This short film is about 17 min. long. While the trailer was 1

Hi,

What version of what Avid product are you using, and what are the system specs of the computer you're using (look at the bottom of my post for an example, and include what version of Quicktime is installed on the system)?

ciao,

Carl,

I am using a 2005 version of Avid Xpress Pro HD. on a Intel(R) 299GHZ, 200GB of Ram with Windows XP. I shot my project with a Cannon 5D mark 2. I don't know what version of Quicktime it is till I get back to school.

Thanks

Mick

Hi Mick,

Often times, export errors are caused when the system has a version of Quicktime installed that is incompatible with the version of Xpress Pro that is installed, so this is generally the first information we ask for when troubleshooting.  Until we know the versions of both of those that are on the system you're using, it's hard to say what the problem could be.

Here's a link to the Xpress Pro Version Matrix:

Also, what kind of file are you trying to export?

Carl, can you combine the duplicate threads?

Hi Carl

 Well as I may or may have not said I was able to export the trailer for this short film. So I did it once with both the current version of QT and Xpress Pro HD. I am really a novice at this but I will write you again when I get to school in about 2 hours.

I duplicate the project.

Click export

Send to Desktop

Save as Quicktime movie.....(Should this be HD 1 output)

Options I choose Avid codec, custom, 1920 by 1080, RGB, Native,

Maybe I did something differant with the trailer, I thing I'm doing the same but maybe I changed it by accident

Mick

The trailer was (probably) shorter, so file size might be the difference.  FAT32 has a 4GB file size limit.  Is the destination drive formatted FAT32 or NTFS?

I have asked Marianna to delete the duplicated thread. We have no moderator tabs in this Forum.

Hi Mick,

I've deleted your other thread on this same subject.  You only have to ask the question once.

Mick Flaaen:

Well as I may or may have not said I was able to export the trailer for this short film.

Yeah, I got that, which is why I asked for more detail about the file type you're trying to export.  As Randy alluded to, some of them have file size limits, which would help explain why a 1 min clip worked and a 17 min clip didn't.

Something that's important to remember is once you've got a workflow that you're happy with, write it down.  There are a zillion parameters available, and if you can't remember which ones you used when it worked, you'll just wind up back here again.

I know you're new, so I'm not trying to overly bust your chops, but you have to provide a lot more specific detail in your questions if you want to get helpful answers.  For example, if you fill out your system specs in your profile, we won't have to waste so much time asking over and over what version of Xpress Pro you're running, and what kind of computer you're running it on.  I see you've got Avid Xpress Pro HD listed there, but there were lots of versions, so the version number is just as important as the product.

ciao,

Here is what we need for system specifications. Click on your name, then "edit my profile", then "profile options" to get to the appropriate text field. Your specs will then become a permanent part of every post you make.

Asking again .... Is the destination drive formatted FAT32 or NTFS?  How much free space?
