Final Cut Pro stalls on exports, can't be shut down after canceling the export...must be forced close

I found the problem area. My DJI mic uses the right channel, my sony cam has an external mic that uses the left. Naturally, I use the external mic in case my DJI mic has a problem (a backup basically). When I import, I drop the two channel audio and make the DJI mono.

The problem area is 5 seconds of a clip, split into two pieces and added together. If I delete the two audio clips, I compile fine. If I switch my mono from DJI to the external mic, I can compile just fine. The DJI mic portion is what's killing the project.

I don't use optimized media, but even after trying optimized with the problem area, it still didn't work. I don't use proxy. It won't export as an audio or video file unless I switch off the DJI mic for the 5 seconds.

I don't use rendering.

Version 10.8.1, but it was a problem with 10.8 (which is why I upgraded)

Though I don't think this will solve your particular issue, a simple thing to try is resetting FCP Settings. Hold option and command while launching FCP and choose Delete Settings. It will dump a diagnostics file on your Desktop, which you can dump, and then it will launch in the default state with the default Untitled library. Reopen the library you were working on, set the Settings back to the way you like (disable background rendering, etc.) and see if the issue persists.

It's also possible that DJI clip is or has become corrupt. Do you have the original copy that you can try to use instead?

The original file is the file...I'm not entirely sure what you mean.

Doing this dump, I will delete all of my keyboard shortcuts, as well as any transition/effects file I've added, right?

Thanks for responding.

I think Terry meant do you have the original camera clip on the camera card or archive.

Your keyboard shortcuts will be set to the default but they will not be deleted. You just have to select the saved command set in the application. Your transitions and effects will not be removed.
