Final Cut Pro export fail

I'm trying to export from Final Cut Pro 10.6.6 but I keep getting a failed export. Pretty much straight after starting the export.

What I've tried so far:

  • Rebooting
  • Exporting another portion of the timeline or even another project - same problem just another frame number.
  • Clear preferences from FCP
  • Moved the entire folder with project and original files to another freshly formatted drive.
  • Reinstall FCP

There is a problem with the media or a bad render file.

Change the settings to show Frames. What is at frame 147?


Delete render files and try to export again. If there is a problem with the original media, you may have to edit around that bad part of the clip.

Delete the application preferences.

To delete preferences, hold down command and option while starting FCP X and click Delete Preferences.

The application will start in a default state, and open an "Untitled" library. Reopen the library you were working on, set the preferences the way you like them, and try again.

If the problem persists: Please run Etrecheck and post its full report here. Use the "additional text" button and paste the report into the text box.
