FCP 6.0.3 and no H.264 at DVinfo.net

James Brill · May 2nd, 2008, 11:39 PM

So I recently just updated to 6.0.3, started a project shot on the ex-1, and sequences and renders set to pro res HQ. When I am working on this project I am unable to export using h.264, what happens is it stops at 7 percent and the estimated time just keeps going estimated times around 30 hours after an hour has passed. I then copied the sequence to another sequence set to the native settings of the EX-1, conformed it to Mpeg-2 and no joy.

Same results happen when I use compressor. I can't be sure if it is a pro res thing or a h.264 thing but I was wondering if anyone else has had similar exporting problems since the update?

How long is the sequence? How old is your Mac? Thirty hours could be right on target.

Mine is the second generation mac pro with a 5 minute sequence. I made a new pro res hq sequence and I was able to export the sequence via h.264 in about 30 minutes which is normal for me. I am going to have to figure it out but maybe it just fixed itself.
