FinalCutPro 10.5.3 Crashes on Exporting Any File

When hitting Next... and Save on Export dialog, FCP just simply crashes. A few moment system dialog shows up "Final Cut Pro Quit Unexpectedly".

I have tried these :

Reinstall FCP
Delete All Libraries
Reset Preference
Try export few codecs - HEVC (either mov and mp4) and ProRes 422 LT
Try few bunch of vdo files

None could solve. Anybody has the same issue here ? Did not have this issue before 10.5.3.

Intel MacBook Air 2020, Big Sur 11.4, FCP 10.5.3, Compressor 4.5.3

For those who are not be able to solve this issue, based on other user who has contacted Apple, looks like we will have to wait for an update for this. But if you have a backup of previous FCP. I suggest to roll it back right now since it would work perfectly. According to nahumyamin.

"[UPDATE]

I've reverted to the previous working version of FCP (10.5.2) from my time machine backup, and no issue with exporting. The application works as expected and in the same way as before.

I suspect there is an issue with the new released version, I will keep this previous version and wait to see if there is an update or fix from Apple."

Hope this also helps you.

pakawatt,

Yes, I do think it is problem within FCP that is no longer work with some regions.

GeordieAlex,

Seen your post about changing region in another thread too. It is now the only option I have besides waiting for Apple. Thank you.

zeqing0408,

Thanks for info about regional option. Everyone tends to be able to export a clip from changing a region.

To wrap things up,

The root cause is definitely came from FCP update that somehow messes with regional setting. Most of us having an issue all due to a non US region. That is why who reside in US might not have one. Although, changing region to US is a temporary solution but FCP has to be fixed from Apple anyway. Thank you all for the effort. At least, we have a workaround before FCP finally updated.

This worked for me! I finally managed to export the files! I had English set as the primary language, but had 3 additional ones. I removed all of them and it worked, I have no idea why additional/other languages would cause the app to crash, but removing them in system preferences did the trick for me. Thanks for the help! Hopefully everyone can export again :)

Didn't you need the previous posts? Well known problem, and the current solution has been repeated many times, including the post just above yours. Change the region in System Preferences->Language & Region.

I had the same problem, exporting didn't work, crashed after a few seconds. I read all threads. Deleted additional languages, German and Croation, no effect. Then I changed the English language (UK region) to US region and I can again export! It is an English System (bought in Vancouver 2017), Catalina 10.15.7, MacBookPro 15 inch mid 2015 - 16GB RAM,Upgrade fcpx from 10.5.2 to 10.5.3 caused the export problem, Third Party (Magic Bullet, mLut, Prolumetric titles). Hope Apple can fix the issue with all the user information!

Now everything works!

I’ve deleted all preferred languages except English, and changed the region to USA.

I’m also from Thailand. So, could this be a regional problem?

THANK YOU SO MUCH! IT WORKED!!! I had additional languages and I just left English as the primary and it worked! I wonder why additional/other languages would cause the app to crash like that. Maybe we'll have to wait for an update with a fix for that? Even so, I am so happy that it's finally worked! I've got 5 five videos that needed exporting asap and I can finally do that! Thanks to all of you kind and helpful people! Hope everyone's issue gets fixed with this and everyone can export again :) Have a good week!

For the love a higher power. I have no idea how someone thought about language and region to stop the crash. but thank you for your genius.

I just changed the region from Panama to de US and that is it. (after doing another million things). my next step was time machine, but that is painfully long to do.

Meyao,

First some users's guess was leaving an English as primary but at the end changing a region is a key.

ZviadPochkhua,

Please refer to Tom's latest reply. In general, it is a bug within FCP that is no longer work on some specific "first-setup" regions (mostly non English-speaking).

Alchroma,

Thank you for more input on this.

I am really wish FCP team acknowledge this at this point and push out a fix although changing a region is a short-term answer but as user perspective, any software should just works on any condition.

Many thanks for the help!

Changing the region into the US definitely works!

Language seems not relevant on my desktop.

Had the same problem. Get rid of the Thai language and changed the region to the US. Now the export works fine! Thank you.

Yes, same OS and application versions as you. Can you confirm that you also have this problem in iMovie? That would seem to indicate it’s not a third party FCP plugin, unless it’s one that does a system level institution like CoreMelt and u think FxFactory.
