Does anybody think that "Quicktime Error 50" is an unhelpful message?

I have tried to find out what this means to no avail. Other people encounter this problem when trying to share video using Final Cut Pro but nobody seems to know what its cause is. I consider this sort of message competely out of order. Apple should pinpoint the error and tell the user, me, exactly what the problem is, where it is, why it exists, what to do about it or better still fix it itself. I have tried all sorts of things and still the problem persists. Any ideas anybody?

Final Cut Pro X, Mac OS X (10.7.1), MacBook Pro

This is how you can get around it till it gets fixed.

1. When you're ready to export, go to preferences and turn off background rendering.

2. Quick FCXP

3. Go into your event and project that you're working on and delete the 'renders' folders (they'll recreate themselves when you open again).

4. Empty the trash.

5. Re-open FCPX. Export.

That should fix it for now. I think a patch will come soon.
