Sharing error "background tasks that are not yet complete." Sharing is idle!!

When I try to share my video saying that My video "has background tasks that are not yet complete.

If you continue, these effects may be missing or have reduced quality: Stabilization"


All my background tasks are idle, I've waiting over night... shut down the program and restarted the computer.

I even decided to share it anyway and halfway through it quits and gives me another error (error code -50) I believe


MacOS Sierra

Version: Mac10.12.3 (16D32)

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014)

2.6 GHz Intel Core i5

16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

Intel Iris 1536 MB


Please help!! I have a client waiting for their video!!

This is a bug. I first hit it right after updating to 10.3.4. For me it is not on stabilization but the new Flow transition. The problem does not happen on all Events or Projects, just seemingly random Projects. I can open another project and Share just fine. The error even happens when Sharing Current Frame unrelated to any clip with a Flow transition. The error is preceded by a progress indicator that FCP X is preparing for a render, that takes 20 seconds and then the popup. So you can't Share and walk away which is annoying. When it works, Share Current Frame only throbs for 5 seconds.


In my most recent case, opening the compound clip allows me to successfully Share Current Frame. But the same frame cannot be shared from the "master" timeline where the compound clip is used.


I've tried erasing all Event and Project files to no avail. I've also tried the (suggested by some) remedy of using the down cursor to visit every seam in the project, let the render throbber throb, then move to the next. I have also replaced every single Flow transition. None of this resolves the issue.


In my case the Flow transition renders fine in the Share but whose to say it will be in every case with a bug like this? YMMV

This has been going on for a long time since before 10.3. I always ignored those types of messages like the one that says something along the lines of "something is missing" and never had a problem with the final output. It is a bug I have reported several times. I haven't seen it so much lately though. Also, I sometimes get the yellow caution sign when there is nothing missing in a project. Exports are fine. Again - it's been reported.
