Okay, I'm working in FCP 5. I've got a project with the following settings:
1440 x 1080
HDV 1080i60
I've been working on this project for several months and I thought we were finished. But my uber-picky client just had a "few more" changes.
In the meantime, I had major computer problems (macpro running 10.5.8) that a failing hard drive and permission issues (may still have some but I'm afraid to change anything at this point until I hear from my Apple guy).
The file opens and saves with no problem. But when I go to render the sequence, it gives me that blasted unknown file error.
Here's what I've tried:
--Went back to an earlier version from Time Machine
--Tried copying the entire sequence into a new file
--Tried saving the project onto another drive
--Tried XML export and then import into a new project
--Tried opening another project on the same drive -- no error
What am I missing?
