I’ve got a brand new 12-core Apple MacPro with 16 GB RAM and an ATI Radeon HD 5870 Graphics Card!
While rendering a project in Apple Final Cut Pro (FCP) I’ve got an error message…
“General Error!” and then “Out of Memory!” ***WTF???***
Equipped with a brand new machine, I thought there must be another problem and did some research, but found nothing really helpful.
In fact the the solution is really simple!
I had the following sequence setting, when I first tried to render and the following error message came up:
Wrong setting:
SOLUTION:
I’ve changed the setting a little bit:
H.264 to “Apple ProRes 422” – and that’s it!!!
Right setting:
THAT’S ALL!
If you want to know which ProRes codec is the best for your project, please have a look at http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio
And if you don’t know how to change the video settings of a sequence: Right click on it and choose “Settings”! That’s easy… ;-)

[…] Apple Final Cut Pro – General Error – Out of Memory – *SOLVED … – Here’s another thing that may help prevent your FCP editing project from “hanging/dragging”: In addition to “washing” (standardizing) all your raw video through Streamclip to Pro Res 422 (HQ optional), check the frame rate of each clip and make them the same too.

THANK YOU SO MUCH BUT I”D ASK YOU ABUT RENDER IT IS TOO MUCH WITH THIS SETTING

You are a genius, you are the most important person in the word of editing and final cut pro, and I mean it from the depths of my heart. Apple should hire you and make you the ceo. Thank you and God bless you.
I agree… ;-)
Literally over an hour of searching and you were the only one who helped me. SAVED ME> THANK YOU
Not a good idea. Long render times. Better to convert to Prores before:
