Exporting issues with Final Cut Pro X

Never had an issue myself with FCPX till the Mavericks update too.. I can't get any answers either.. You should be able to update the program and it should work...

I really love using the program but might have to look at adobe..

Kat_to,

To recap (this thread has a lot of moving parts and is hard to follow) you've been able to export short projects but not longer projects?

Did you try Tom's advice to trash the render files and export the project unrendered?

Did you try creating a new user account and running FCP from that account?

I'm wondering if App Nap is getting in the way. If you haven't done so, try disabling (Prevent).

Hi Kat,

Since my update to Mavericks, I also have exactly the same problem, In the activity Monitor it says protranscoder tool (not repsonding) so a 3 minute export is currently taking over an hour and is currently at 18%.

Other projects are just refusing to export totally, saying -50 as the problem.

Prior to Mavericks upgrade, I had several projects on the go all exporting perfectly fine, after the upgrade I cant export anything without it either being really really slow or just not possible,

Running osx 10.9

2,9ghz intel core i5

32 gb 1600 mhz ddr3

FCPX 10.0.09

Things I have tried:

Tom's advice to trash the render files and export the project unrendered?

Creating a new user account and running FCP from that account?

Disabling (Prevent).

So heres hoping someone somewhere comes up with a solution, having fcpx like this is just pointless at the moment.

After I disabled "app nap" in the get Info for FCP, I was able to export my project. Who knows if it will continue to work. I would bet Apple is working on a fix, but we won't know until they release it.

Hi Tom. Do you understand the difference in the words "before" and "after"?? Before installing Maverick fcpx 10.0.9 worked as usual - all renders were uniquely and always correct. After (you know Tom - after!) Install Maverick FCPX 10.0.9 began issuing an error when the same render before. The same outputs ok? People ask you what could be the reason for the error when rendering in FCPX and you pretend not to understand what they mean! This problem only in the FCPX, its compatibility with the new os

What's your problem? I've answered questions as honestly as I can. I haven't been on this thread for a month and a half, and you lay into me. Good luck.

I must admit that I got a bit upset with the mavericks update playing with FCPX but when I took the time to update it, it works fine now... I had to import all my footage again which was a pain but I have no issues with exporting footage. There are plenty of YouTube tutorials that you can watch to help..

HOW DO YOU DO THAT?

I CANT SHARE PROJECT TO YOUTUBE OR TO MY HARD DRIVE! IT KEEPS TELLING ME (Video rendering error: -50) WHEN I SHARE TO TO YOUTUBE AND The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 1859 (error -1) WHEN I SHARE IT TO MY H

If you update your version to the current version of FCPX VERSION 10.0.9 and re import all you footage it should fix the issue.. Failing that I re installed FCPX version 10.0.9 and everything works like a charm..

I have tried that!

Ok so I have read through everyones posts above and I tried everything suggested with no luck. I have recently upgraded to FCPX 10.1.1 and have never had an issue before now. One project in particular would not export, I would get a "video rendering error: -50" everytime. Any other project that I would try worked fine. Thankfully mine was a smaller project and I was able to find the problem for me.

I had a compound clip (this one was audio) that was throwing the entire thing off. I went by groups disabling clips until I found the pattern. As soon as I disabled this one clip the entire project exported with no issue Not sure if this will help anyone else but for me that one clip killed the deal and disabling it fixed my problem.

Now what to do with the 2 hours of my life I just lost 🙂

I shared the file as apple pro res 422(hq) as a master file - and for some reason this worked for me when I had the same problem.

Was also experiencing the "video rendering error: -50" with FCPX 10.1.1, and resolved it following TarHeelMac's advice above. I had an empty compound clip or two sitting at the beginning of my project. When I removed these, the project exported perfectly.

Just as a side note, the entire length of my project was only about 90s.
