Video rendering error: 10004

Ben is referring to this:

Uncheck Background render.

If you have a frame error, change the Timecode Display to Frames and then type that error frame number into the Timecode field for the Project, hit enter.

Check what is amiss on that frame.

Hi everyone, this usually happens because you've added a video which could contains some frame wrong.

In order to fix this follow next steps:

1.- Identify the broken video.

In order to do this, and if you've got more than one video added, try to do an export of your edited video to MP4 file. Obviously it will fail, but until it fails, FCPX will create part of the file. Usually an MP4 can be played, even if it was not completely closed until the end. This will help you to know exactly when it stops.

You can be sure the next second, in your FCPX timeline has this issue.

2.- Fix the error.

Simply trim the video a bit to skip that frame.

3.- Export it again.

Best regards.

I have exactly the same problem, but with the other updates I was having the frame of the error, now I do not have it and I have no way of seeing it! but is happening to me lately with all the videos I edit, how can I avoid it altogether? thanks so much!

I had this problem too and is only specific to 10.4, previous versions don't do it.

The issue I have is, for lack of a better term, a bad frame at the beginning of one or more clips.

Cut out that bad frame and it exports without error. I have found that when I snap to the beginning of each clip, if it displays black, it will cause the export to fail. Cut the first frame of that clip out (the black frame) and all is well.

I would like a better way to get past this as it is a PITA to check every clip and trim out the offending frame.

10.3x does not have this problem so it has to be something new in 10.4 causing it.

I would love to just change a setting and resolve this but cutting out the black frame is the only way I know.

Resetting the preferences doesn't ever delete any libraries. It just doesn't have any memory of any previous libraries that you may have created. It's the application as it is in its default state, which is an Untitled library stored in your Movies folder. Find your library wherever it's stored and double-click it, or use the Open Library function.

You would be best to direct your question in the iMovie forum:

First, turn off Background Rendering in the Preferences.

Second, select the Library, in the File menu select Delete Generated Library Files, delete ALL render files.

Third, quit FCPX, then hold Opt-Cmd while launching it again, when prompted, delete preference files.

Normally just deleting all render files for the Library would fix this type of issue. But there you have several things to try if it doesn't.

what preference theres lots of them

I have imovie can anyone help?

same problem, different software...

Hello, i did what you said but still the same error. Any other option to fix this? I badly need help. 😟

When you export to master file and you get the error message does it give a frame number?

It only says “Video rendering error: 10004. Render Video Frame failed.”

Does this happen immediately? As soon as it starts?

Just to confirm you used the master file setting with the default PoRes codec?

Thx Ben, I just deleted my whole Medialibrary with your "Opt-Cmd" Shortcut while launching Final Cut... MY GOD SRSLY
