Select your desired exporter from the category tree on the left side.
: Ensure QuickTime is enabled under Settings > System Settings > Import/Export > QuickTime .
If your project resolution or frame rate does not match your export preset, check the "Enable Conversion" box in the export window. This allows EDIUS to scale the footage to fit the selected format.
Try switching from .mp4 to .mov or vice-versa to see if the container is the issue. 3. Frame Rate Mismatch
For more specific guidance, you can refer to the official EDIUSWorld FAQ on Export Failures or the Grass Valley Forum discussions regarding this specific error.
Codecs like H.264/AVC or MPEG2 MXF expect broadcast-standard frame rates (e.g., 29.97p, 59.94i, or 25p). If your timeline is set to a "true" integer like 60.00p or 30.00p (often captured from video games or smartphones), the encoder will reject it.
Discrepancies between your current video profile and physical preview/output hardware profiles (like Generic OHCI vs. dedicated Storm Mobile cards). Step-by-Step Solutions to Fix the Error 1. Enable Video Conversion in the Exporter
In older versions of EDIUS (8 or 9), certain H.264 or .MOV exports require the QuickTime Importer/Exporter to be enabled in System Settings. Step-by-Step Solutions Problem exporting vertical video - Grass Valley Forums
: If you are working with non-standard resolutions (like vertical video), some presets (like MPEG2) will remain grayed out or fail because they only support standard 16:9 ratios like 1920x1080.
Select your desired exporter format on the left pane (e.g., MXF, H.264/AVC).
Sometimes the error is purely mathematical. You may be working on a timeline that is 1080p, but you are trying to export a lower resolution (like 360p or 480p) using a standard preset that does not accept scaling.
