unable to export to YouTube in FCPX 10.4.3 (installed 6/25/2018)

Every few days I do my usual routine of editing and uploading some 1080p60 videos from my Sony A6500. This has worked fine for many many months (going on years really, hehe) and there has been no change or upgrade in my personal home iMac system that I am aware of (other than I noticed a recent update to 10.4.3 the day I noticed the problem).


After I finish a simple edit consisting of adding a title, doing some simple color corrections, sharpening, end credits, I then share to YouTube. Now I get a spinning wheel of death the moment the YouTube dialog appears. It often just hangs or takes a really long time to let me finally click "next", and another wheel of death, and then finally "publish". After a really long wait, it fails to share, or sometimes successfully shares, but the file is DOA on YouTube and doesn't work properly.


I have done all of the typical things, checked disks, disk space, reset preferences, cleared all caches and render files, even reinstalled FCPx from scratch, tried republishing older projects that have been recently published (like ones from earlier this week in the exact same format), but the result is the same.

oh my, so weird, yes, I switched to another library (last year's for the same events, same camera, etc) and it worked!

So, then I switched back to my current library, and now it works as well to a Master File. I'm trying out the share to YouTube right now... and what do you know... it also works now? weird. no idea what fixed it!


Thanks so much for the suggestions!

It's very strange, because then I can do a restart of FCPX, start the export again, wait for it to start, and load it up with tons of other exports in batch, and all of them successfully completed. It seems to get tripped up on the first export at times and just locks up the whole system. Restart and sometimes it goes fine, other times spinning wheel of death on dialog. Not seeing a lot of consistency yet.
