I am mastering a movie in Final Cut Express 4.
I master it in Logic and Live (tried both).
After importing the finished exported audio file( 16 bit 48000 hz)
FCE wants to render the audio.
I always get general error (49) when rendering the audio.
Does anybody know a solution to this?
Thanks alot

Is the Sequence setting in FCE matching the audio rate?
FCE Sequences are 32 or 48 kHz matching 12 or 16 bit respectively.
Right click the Sequence icon in the FCE Browser and select Item Properties to double check.
Is the target drive formatted to MAC OS Extended?
Plenty of free space on the target drive?

Hello!
Thank you for the answer
the settings are
2 Outputs
48.0 HZ
32 bit floating point
The target drive has enough space.
My internal drive only has 15 GB free though
Thanks alot

Is the audio file AIFF? That's what FCE prefers (AIFF, 16-bit/48KHz, stereo).
I always get general error (49) when rendering the audio.
For iMovie this goes - Most probably for FCE too
Error -49opWrErr File already open with write permission
Trash the preference files while application is NOT Running.
from Karsten Schlüter
Some users notice on exporting larger projects from within iMovie that this operation is aborted with an 'error -49'
This issue occours only on MacOs machines using 10.7x
try switching-off the Local Mobile Backup
in Terminal copy/paste
sudo tmutil disablelocal
Re-launch Mac

Thanks alot!
I tried using iMovie, then it worked. It's an old version of iMovie called iMovie HD.
Then I tried Final Cut X, everything works perfectly!
I'll try trashing the preference files if I have to use FCE again.
Actually I'm running snow leopard, however mountain lion was installed before on this machine..
Thanks again
