Folks this is an error I keep getting when attempting to export a ProRes 4444 from y Final Cut Pro timeline. It's one of a few different export errors I've gotten in recent weeks?
Does anyone know what this is and more importantly does anyone know where to find what this specific error code pertains to?

Try exporting a section around the shot and see what happens. You might also try replacing or cutting the shot. Trashing render files is also good test, as they seem to be prone to getting corrupted. You might also try running the original file through Compressor to re-encode it to ProRes to see if that helps.

No it didn't specify a frame. I tried sending it to Compressor also and that didn't work either, but id did give me this:
Error: RequestCVPixelBufferForFrame returned: 3 for absolute frame: 78559
The problem is that my project starts at 00:59:45:00 and when I switch FCP's time display to frames there is no 78559. See attached image. This is very strange.
I changed my timeline to start at 00:00:00:00 and then went to frame 78599. Nothing seemed strange about the clip, but I tried exporting that clip on it's own and it did so successfully.
I need to get this edit out for my color team, but can't figure out what is causing the actual export failure.
Thanks Tom. I deleted my render files yesterday after the first export failure. Do you think I got the accurate clip using that frame number? If I didn't use Compressor I wouldn't have known which frame, but I have to assume that Compressor was counting frames from 0 and that starting at 00:59:45:00 doesn't matter since if I did there would be no such 78559 frame.
I also tried exporting to my internal SSD overnight to see if perhaps writing to a different drive would solve the issue, but apparently it didn't solve the problem.
I just reset my preferences and rendered that single clip, and will try exporting with a few clips around the alleged clip.
Export test including several clips around it was successful. I think I'll try exporting a larger chuck (maybe the first 30 minutes out of the 97 minutes) to see how that goes.
Do you have any other thoughts?
Same thing happens to me every time. I just try to export the highest quality possible of a project to just have on file so i can convert it to whatever in needs to be converted to if needed in the future but I can't because i receive this error every single time. I can go through and export each individual clip on their own, but all together is a big NOPE. I really don't understand and theres nothing out there to explain whats going on with that error. Very frustrating
It doesn’t specify a frame where this occurs?
The operation could not be completed because an error occurred while exporting (error -536870181).
