I have finished editing a video for web upload using final cut 10.7, the project is fully rendered at ready for export however when I share the file as H264 codec the exporting in background tasks stays at 0%. I would like to know in the simplest terms how I can resolve this issue.
Also is there a way to view an estimated export time like in the earlier final cut versions
Thanks
Final Cut Pro X, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
What is the duration of the Timeline?
What is the format of the video clips on that Timeline?
In the Dashboard (middle of the center tool bar), click the Background Task Progress indicator (round thing with the green progress bar), or use Command-9 to pull up the Background Task window. You can see the status of exports, imports, transcodes, etc, there.
All background tasks remained on 0% and the project was around 15mins 10seconds long since this post I opened the project in a newer version of final cut (would I be able to open the new catalogue project in an older version of final cut if so how would I )
The format of the clips are JPEG images, h.264 codec 720p video and Motion Generators
If it doesn't budge from zero, it's likely hung up at the beginning of the encoding process and not reached the upload, which typically starts when the progress bar has exceeded 50%. With a 15 minute video, you should see some progress in the first minute.
First, I'd trash preferences.
Try marking a short range in the middle of your project Time Line with the range tool and selecting whatever Web Upload preset you're using to see whether that range exports. If it does, you may have some funky media elsewhere. If it doesn't export, try the range with the master file Share option. If that doesn't work, try deleting render files. If it still doesn't, create a new empty project and copy the old project Time Line to the new empty project.

I have trashed preferences, created a new project and copied a short part over from the previous one as well as deleting my render files. This has not sorted out the issue. My source file was exported out of ScreenFlow in .h264 codec could that have southing to do with the issue.
Try optimizing a short section of a Screenflow clip and see whether that works.
if you can render the timeline you should be able to render out..
I think the problem could be in your export settings..
What are they? Specifics please... And perhaps screenshots
How would one do that ?
Control click on a clip and from the drop-down choose transcode media. It will give you a dialogue box with available options.

In the event browser, that is.

Thanks for the help, I actually deleted the project that would not export I will re-edit it and update you within the next 24hrs on the situaton.
try choosing a different codec... Just to make sure that the preset is not corrupted
The issue has returned ! The weird thing is when I have recorded the footage on my camera or via my elgato game capture HD it exports fine, however when I record my footage in ScreenFlow it refuses to export as mentioned above.
Try using another codec in screenflow
When exporting in final cut sharing stays at 0%
