FCPX while in sharing process gets up to 44% and stops

I use a MacBook Pro 1.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5(2020) with up to date FCPX.

I try to share/export and it gets up to 44%. Then it repeats going to 44% quickly several times. Gives me a check saying it's finished, and the result is a 244kb file. I have tried everything I can think of except reloading FCPX. I use two external drives. I have not had issues before.

The project has footage from two cameras. I tried making it a compound clip and I did get it to export 38 minutes of the 1.5 hours... not all of the audio was there, but it was something. Please let me know if I missed something?

Mac Pro, OS X 10.11

Please post that report as Tom requested.

Also: whenever something is not working right, deleting FCP preferences is worth a try. 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.

I can't say the report helped. It's more an issue with FCP. For whatever reason, making the different layers a compound clip worked. I just didn't let it render for the first attempt. Thank you for the help!
