Final Cut Pro X Not Exporting?

Man, See above. It's gone midnight here, do the search yourself, it's all I've been doing all night so I'm not about to do it all again. And you're probably getting paid to do it! 😉

. Export movie and nothing happens, no progress bar, %, wheel of doom or anything.

Question for you: did you purchase FCP X from the App Store?

If you didn't, you have no valid complaints,

Russ

II'm not paid. And you're not answering a single basic question. Unless you want to try to go sonething about it, like see why it doesn't work for you, then I'm done.

Ok I searched. This is the only thread since 10.1 was released. No one else in this thread reports anything like what you're reporting. Most of the older threads are for software versions that arent compatible with 10.9.

OK I'll go with the update route thanks. (in the morning)

They're not my machines I just work here! Late at night, and expect things to work.

I appreciate you guys taking the time to respond.

Cheers

I was just gonna ask:

Did you hit Command+9 to see if things weren't just being rendered in the background? I was having the same problem (clicked "Save," nothing happened at all), but then when i brought up the background process window, there was my file being rendered; along with all the other attempts at rendering.

During weeks i had error - 60, error -50 . It is very frustratting, What worked for me is the following:

Disable app nap

Update to latest version

Delete rendered all files

Empty trash

Restart machine

Copy all files in timeline and paste into a new project

Share again

Delete files unnecessary files

Hope it works good luck . Please let me know if it works for you. Thanks

My problem came up last night, when I had no issues two days ago. I removed the app and reinstalled it, check marked the "app nap" and it still refuses to export. I tried deleting clips and exporting, still refuses to export.

I have OS X Version 10.9.4 (13E28) MacBook Pro. No updates for FCXP exists for my version. I checked the app store, system updates and whatever I could get my hands on. Mavericks was uploaded/updated July 2.

it certainly is an update avaiable. Did you buy your current version from AppStore ? If so log in to AppStore and ckeck under purcases. FCPX 10.1.2. If you did not buy it from AppStore then there is of course no new version available to you. FCX can only been bought from AppStore.

I purchased my FCXP from App Store, which is why I went there to see if there was an update for the program. The program version is 10.1.2, updated June 27.

Yes 10.1.2 is the current version. Just download it. Since you have a legal older version and Mavericks.

Please take us step by step through what you're doing starting with selecting the timeline to make it active. What do you do, and what happens when you do it? Post screen shots.

I think that first of all you should check to see if the problem is bound to the specific project you are trying to export, or more general.

Create a brand new project, add something like a title or a generator and export. Does it work?

1. If this test project exports, then it is almost certainly something in your own project.

Does your project play in the timeline? Do you see any yellow warning triangle in your events?

2. If even the small test project fails to export, then you may try deleting preferences. This is even easier now: hold down command and option while starting the application and you'll get a dialog asking you if you want to delete them. Confirm. See if things have changed. (deleting preferences is completely innocuous, even if it does not solve the problem; none of your content will be affected).

I already downloaded; the app store shows it as updated in the Update section.

What I did was exported my videos from SD disk/digital camera (not Quick Time Videos), which is not the first time, to the desktop. After opening FCX, I used media import to get the videos from desktop. I set up my video as designed, just basic editing such as cuts, words, transitions (although I found this a bit odd, the transitions were a bit wonky, some I just directly placed onto the clip, some had a pop up telling me something about (can't remember) moving the transition and should I go ahead? Which by nature I did) and two picture files. Nothing fancy or elaborate as many would use FCX for.

Then I clicked on the export icon, chose Master File. Nothing came up, not even the lovely rainbow 'waiting' circle. I went to export and tried YouTube (as this is a homework assignment for my masters course), nothing happened (same as mentioned).

I did clean up my laptop because of memory shortage, there was nothing outward. Many of the projects I did were already moved to my external HD so I just cleaned up old files.

This morning, I did search (during class) for possible solutions and resources that would help me figure out the answer. I was led to one of the threads here on Apple Forums which explained how to remove and reinstall the FCX app as well as the "App Nap" information. I made sure the FCX was updated and looked at the Maverick information that was disseminated through this thread. Nothing worked.

I am currently working my university's lab and the exportation works. The FCX version is 10.1.1. I don't know what's going on. Since I am using an university computer, I can't update anything for that computer. The computer's OS X information is Version 10.9.3 (has not been updated).

A window doesn't appear after you click Master File in the Destinations popup menu?

If that's the case, the application probably needs to be reinstalled.
