Failed Quicktime Error -2045

FCP X and Compressor 4 will no longer generate a movie file when I submit it. I cannot get a movie to generate from FCP X either. Instead, I get an error after submitting that says Failed: QuickTime Error: -2045.


I have uninstall and reinstall FCP X, Compressor and Motion. Until Saturday I was able to generate movies without a problem.


Does anyone know what this error means and how I can correct?

Final Cut Pro X, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

I found my answer for this. Not sure if it will help everyone, but I was getting Failed with a zero code and with -2045 code. I did the uninstall and reinstall of FCP X and Compressor to no avail. But I also was running FX Factory from Noise Industries. When I deleted it (have to use the Uninstall Button on their menu and not just drag it to trash bin) then my error went away. It seems that one of the filters it put in added an invalid plug in to Quicktime and that was causing the error.


The Apple help guy had me create a new user account and run the same routine there. Since I had no error on the new user, the logic was that it was a plug in issue for my main account. So once I uninstalled the FX Factory app and its plug ins, then I was back in business. I am going to try to reinstall FX Factory later to see if I can get my Phyx filters back, but at least I am transcoding movie files again.
