video only exports about 25% of it's length...

Hey All, i've been exporting a music video and after the 5th pass or so now, the video is only exporting a maximum of 1:33. the total length is around 5 minutes. Ive checked all preferences, settings, etc. Any ideas why this is happening? For reference im exporting to "Apple Devices 720" . Mainly so i can view and share primarily on iPhone as a demo.

Thanks to you all. This is a great community and i hope everyone has a lovely and safe holidays.

Sorry if this is obvious but is there a range selected in the timeline?


Also: to what drive are you exporting, how is it formatted and how much free space?


If it all seems correct, maybe there is some corruption in that project. In these cases, selecting everything, copying and then pasting into a new project may help.


If it all fails, tell us more. Please run Etrecheck and post its full report here.

Use the “additional text” button and paste the report into the text box.

hey thanks for the reply. yeah, the range is selected. it's super weird. im exporting to my main desktop. i have enough allocated space, but i am running it from an external drive. I'll try to export it to the external it's running from and try that. I'll also follow up with your recommended "Etrecheck report". to which i can say im ignorant to but i will catch myself up to speed on asap. I'll check back. thanks again for the help. 'thumbs' (up) :)


What range is selected, exactly? If it is exporting the selected range, then it is working as designed, and you only need to deselect (or to select the whole thing).

yo people, seriously big ups on the support. my bad on the ghost session here: not even sure really where i been, but the problem was solved by opening a new project file and starting a new sequence. It's weird, i must have tried to export that vid a half dozen times and each time came out to a minute and a half. in the final render widow when making all last minute names and where to save it, that mini display window always showed the whole video with audio. calling this one a glitch. but thanks again. this community rocks in the sun, the shade, and wherever rockin is necessary or must be enforced. hope all are well and may it be a great year for everyone and all the years to come. there's really a fine line on where some good ol vibes can be said and really obstructing rant. i gotta get some better material and choose a new venue for the rants but all the Love is pure and real and FCP changed the world! (or just the analog film industry) \m/ @@ \m/

on a side note: i really appreciate this forum's html syntax editor. i would italicize everything, but that would defeat it's purpose. restraint will be practiced to a tight discipline ;-) digression is a strong suit for me
