Can't export or share in Final Cut Pro X

Hi. Brand new to FCPX, this is my first project. I imported a project from iMovie, finished editing it in FCPX, and wanted to export/share it. The menu is completely grayed-out, and the keyboard command (Command-E) does nothing. What am I missing?

MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2011), iOS 5.1

Thank you so much ckmyers, It took me almost a whole day strugling with it since I promised the client to get their work on the next day, I was very frustrated. I followed your "trick" and deleted all the clips with a camera symbol on it, then re import them and I was able to share it. All my clips are on external drive using usb 3 as a connection. Hope this will help more people

I´m on a trial version of Final Cut pro X

Trying to export my first project to file - it is one clip only without any fancy transitions

After hitting export to file I get this error message;

User uploaded file

I have tried to delete the project and start all over again - same message. I thought maybe my HD getting full - trying to save to external HD - same problem.

I have a MBP 2012- Retina


I sort of like the program, and have watched a lot of tutorials, but now I´m glad I only have a trial version, cause if this is a general problem, i have to opt for something else.

Any suggestions for resolving this ?
