10.2 hangs while analyzing clip

Here's a screenshot of my default import settings. It shows the answer to all your questions. Newly imported media clips are supposed to be transcoded into the default "optimized" format and then are to be analyzed for balanced color. (I'm doing a quick turn around of service videos for a church, so I'm just relying on the auto color settings rather than spending the time to color grade the video manually.)

The other time I'm running into this problem is when I manually select a clip that has already been imported (such as clips added to an event prior to the 10.2 update) and select "Analyze and Fix."

I didn't have any of these problems prior to updating to OS X 10.10.3 and FCPX 10.2. (Both OS X and FCPX were updated on the same day, so I'm not sure which is the culprit.

And just to note, this latest hang that I've encountered has happened when trying to import multiple file types:

• MP4 video (h.264 codec)
• AIFF audio file
• JPG image

All with the same results...nothing. Status remains at 0% with all the files as shown in the screenshot in my original post. The problem has been replicated on multiple other Macs.

Tom,

I have plenty of HD space available. I'm importing 2 hours of video and an hour of audio and have over 650GB of available HD. This is a process that we have been doing every week of a couple of years. So I know the amount of disk space I have available is way more than enough. The source of the import is my hard drive as I already copied the files to my computer prior to import. Note that the screenshot below shows that the media was s

Before making my initial post on Sunday, I, too, tried everything that a1angelestried, as those options were suggested in other forums.

I just updated to FCPX 10.2.1 and updated my library. Then added a new Event and imported a brand new clip M4V clip. Still no joy. Note that the clips that will not analyze or transcode are h.264 M4V, that were originally recorded from our live broadcast using Adobe Flash Live Media Encoder, again using the h.264 codec, but inside FLME's F4V container. Then I used the Adobe "flattening" command line tool to convert or flatten the file to the M4V container. We've been using this same process for several years with no problem. Then I update FCPX to 10.2.x and the problem started. That's the only thing that has changed, so I don't understand why it will not work. Clips coming from one of our cameras import, analyze, and transcode without a problem. I've tried changing the file container to MP4 since I've run into that problem with other software before were an MP4 video will only be imported if the file is either in MP4 or M4V, but not vice versa.
