"Codec not found" in FCP with editing proxys

[Erik Arvid Bo Andersson]

Hi!

I'm working on a video where I edit the proxys in FCP 7 without conforming to quicktime. Some shots are shot with different resolutions so I have to Scale up/scale down some shots to fit the sequence. When I do that I have to render the clip and when I try to render it a message comes up and tells me:
"Codec not found, you may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card."


My sequence settings have REDCODE as the compressor.

I have tried to reinstall FCP, trash my user pref's but the problem is still the same. How can I fix this?

You have to set your timeline to prores.

You cannot render redcode.

have you tried to drop a proxy to the timeline and let FCP set the sequence settings?

Cheers!

My sequence settings have REDCODE as the compressor.

Like Gunleik said, this is incorrect. You can't set REDCODE as your sequence coded, as it's read-only. Set it to one of the various prores flavors.
