error: -50

Question

error: -50

I am using my new Mac mini with intel core i5 4gb ram and am working on a video that is between 40mins and one hour long. I'm finished and I went to share "Apple Devices: 720HD" but all I get is "error: -50" when it comes to about 40% of the way. I tried lowering the resolution and it still did it. So my qhestion is how do I fix it so it doesn't do that anymore? Should I just upgrade the RAM, I don't think I should sense all it is is just DSLR videos shot at 1080 HD at 60 frames.

Final Cut Pro X, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

Is App Nap turned off? In Finder view in Applications, right click Final Cut Pro and choose Get Info).

Does the error message cite a frame number?

Also…what version of FCPX are you using?

To your RAM question, if you plan to do more than just the occasional video, I would upgrade to at least 8 GB. But that's not the cause of your export problem.

Typically it gives a frame number if it's corrupt media. It could also be a corrupt render. Test by turning off BG Rendering in Preferences. Select the project icon in the browser and from the File menu, choose Delete Project Render Files. Delete all render files. Select about 10 minutes of your project Timeline with the Range tool. Without rendering, export as a Pro Res master file. If that section exports, it's likely that the entire project will.

The Pro Res format is too big but I did it anyway and it still says"Video rendering error: -50". This is the trial version by the way, but it should be just as functional as the full version shouldn't it?
