Error 403_ rate_limit_exceeded. It says that the app has not been verified? Never had this message before.

What version of FCP, and of macOS?

The recent versions have dropped support for exporting directly to youtube - probably because youtube was about to change its protocols. Maybe this has just caught up with you.

The obvious workaround is to export a master file, and then use the youtube website to upload.

Why don’t you just upload the video directly from a Safari tab using YouTube site / studio itself? This works as well.

I also have this problem. It just doesn't work.

Apple needs to Upgrade its License Key with Google to fix uploading to YouTube. Apple appears to have allowed lapsing of their license to share to YouTube.

Once you've sent it to QT you can then use this option.

This just opens a dialog that asks for credentials the way FCP used to.

macOS Monterey Version 12.0.1 (21A559) running Final Cut Pro 10.6. I surmise it has something to do with the way browser requests are blocked/tracked as YouTube itself refuses to remember the account signed in unless you physically click the button and it recognizes the user profile again. I've turned off all extensions, cleared browser cache, cookies and history, yet the problem persists in both the browser and Final Cut Pro export settings. DaVinci Resolve has the same issue, so it's not specific to the app FCPX.

This is actually an option from the QuickTime player after Final cut pro finishes exporting. Like I said before I doubt that it is a specific application that is causing this but more of a system block that authenticates with Google.

You are going to have to give more details about this.

I suppose you are talking about options in this menu (see image below).

If you added another option to the defaults ones, it is likely you or someone has created a script to automate the process of uploading. If so, we can't say much more without knowing what that script is trying to do.

Uploading or downloading stuff to or from youtube is always prone to failing, as youtube frequently makes changes to how these things work. I think this is what is happening here.

I had a similar issue with Quicktime - My Quicktime does still allow share with YouTube. - just now hitting Error 403: rate_limit_exceeded:

I have now exported as 1080 and am waiting for YouTube to tell me the upload is no longer just SD but has an HD version as well

I am puzzled.

Direct export to YouTube was removed from FCP around version 10.5, so how exactly are you doing this?

Hi I'm on my 2021 MacBook Air and I've had this problem to trying to upload stuff from my desktop iMovie and just in general to Youtube it says error code 403 and that this app isn't verified and when I try to click on the learn more button it won't let me because my QuickTime tab is still open don't know if anyone can help me but it would really help out my channel if I could figure out how to upload YouTube videos from my MacBook usually what I have to do is airdrop it to my phone put it onto iMovie on my phone then upload it to YouTube and for just a 10 minute video that will take about an hour if anyone has an alternative for this ad away around the QuickTime thing please shoot me a message.

Thanks. I was unaware of this.

I wasn't either. Little surprised it's in there.

So lucky for you - right after entering credentials I get the 403 error

How did you get it to work?

could you please be more specific because I don't have final cut but I don't know if it's the same with iMovie, thanks.
