I'm using FCP 6 creating a 30 min TV show. My Mac Pro is having some serious trouble rendering video after grading video clips. Error message paraphrased "Unable to render video at this size..." What does this mean? Graphics card, memory, etc...

I an using a MacPro2x 3ghz Quad Core Intel Xeon 8GB 800mhz DDR2FB-Dimm with 4 ATI Radeon HD 2600xt Graphics cards. Although, when I investigate it appears that only 1 of the graphics cards is attached to the dual monitors. Problem? Also, the Quad Core has 4, 1TB HD's installed but those HD's are nearly maxed. Scratch Disks are set to an external 4TB RAID HD.

Are my Graphics cards not installed correctly? Are they too small? Could my RAM be too small?

Any help would be great!

what are the render settings within FCP? It sounds like that is where the issue is.

And what happens when you Share the video, like for an Apple Device? Will it compile the video?

Use the Share menu at the top, there will be a lot of selections there. See if any will work.

I am actually kinda stalling since I am not sitting in front of my FCP...
