Final Cut Pro X Not Exporting?

After I did all of that, export worked fine.

I'm afraid given the complicated rendering you are doing, you'll have to find the offending clips one by one, by trial and error.

In my case, I didn't replace the clip, which was not crucial, and just edited the rest of the movie around the missing clip, which was only about 8 seconds duration.

One suggestiong, if you know the clip is, say, 35 minutes long, and compressor and/or FCP stalls at 12 minutes, then your problem clip is 12/35 of the way through, or about 33% in. Or do you mean, a variable position it stalls as between 6-12 minutes?

That's as much as I can suggest.

thanks for the help. wont work for me, but i get little peices out every 6 tries or so. have 75% exported but still have some color grading so, a very annoying thing...looking forward to talking with apple tomorrow on phone.

Good luck. I know how frustrating this is. By the way, your hard drive is not going into sleep mode, is it?

Also, you might try the build in Export....say to disk, and use custom settings to reduce the movie to non-HD and very small. That might make the trial and error easier.

dont think its going to sleep, the whole project is stored on it. it seems to be a very unstable fcpx problem, might be the file size, not sure.. ya, very frusterated, cant find consistency which is worse than never working. thanks for all the reccomendations. i'm at a loss.

Even though I'm working in Motion 5.1, I'm receiving the same "Failed: Video rendering error: 60," I'll try this — and report back. I'm trying to export through Motion itself, as well as through Compressor 4.1.

Just updating this (after 2 and a half hours of work) to tell how I fixed the issue.

I found this thread, even though I Google'd for Motion and Compressor — so hopefully if anyone else does the same, this is how I solved the issue on my machine.

First, I made it so that Motion & Compressor were prevented from going to App Nap:

Then I restarted my computer, just to freshen things up a bit.

After that, I decided to render out a Motion project in batches of 500 frames. I eventually found a section in the middle that it failed, and I played through it — and apparently one of the Particle Emitter layers was the culprit. During playback from the timeline, the video stopped but the audio kept going — even after a RAM preview. This was a new thing — otherwise I would've caught it when I did my pre-rendering run-through.

I didn't end up adding them back in, because they weren't essential — and time was of the essence!

Preventing App Nap wasn't probably essential, as the corrupted Particle Emitters were probably the sole cause — but it doesn't hurt to try.

i got the same exact problem im trying to get fixed now

were is app nap at

I have a similar problem - where do I find APP NAP please?

Didn't you see Russ's post? That is the Get Info window in the Finder. In case you don't know how to get it: navigate to the Applications folder, select the appropriate application (e.g., Final Cut Pro, or Motion, or whatnot), and hit Cmd-I.

Found it thanx, I newish to Macs !!!!

ive made this short flim for school and ive finished it and everything but it won't export, i know you guys have been disccusing it for a while but i a noob to Final Cut Pro X and i need someone to simplfy it down for me. i would click on the share button and click on export and it wont export, ive tried command E and it still wont work. Im scared that if i have to re download final cut pro i will lose everything and my film is due tomoz :/ so if anyone could help me plz do.

You need to provide more information. It is not even clear which version of FCP X you are using.

And by "it won't export" you mean exactly... what? An error message pops up? Which one (specifically)?

Installing a new version of FCP X will NOT erase any of your projects or media.

BUT, if you are using an older version (10.0.x), a new media management system, based on "libraries", has been introduced in 10.1. It is much better than the old way, but you need to learn how the new model works, and how to deal with updating the older projects to the new system.
