Unable to export Final Cut Pro project

I'm trying to export a FCPX project and keep on getting the following error message.

The error message is "Error: RequestCVPixelBufferForFrame returned: 3 for absolute frame: 27397"

I've tried rebooting and exporting different formats. Everything was rendered prior to exporting. I've been using the software for years and have never had this issue.

Final Cut Pro error -50: renderVideoFrame failed Hi I hope you're well and wondered if you could help me, please. I've been using Final Cut Pro for months, years, without issue, but this recent video is driving me crazy and keeps crashing FCP, or even my laptop (forcing a restart) when trying to export my latest video. I've put the crash log below, can anyone tell me what the issue video/frame is by any chance? I've resent all the clips again from my phone to my MacBook and the issue still remains. I've deleted render files etc before and still no luck. I can't upgrade my FCP version/Mac software to anything newer on this model of MacBook, but have never had any issues exporting until this video. Any help would be much appreciated - Thank you.

Export error video decoded and frame missing FCPX I've exported a project multiple times with no problem, and out of the blue when re-exporting the same project, I get error 10008 and -8969: The operation could not be completed because an error occurred while creating frame 37 (Error (10008): Frame rendering. "Part 2" cannot be rendered at 00:00:01:12. Error (-8969): Incorrect data in the source file. “C1977.mp4“ cannot be decoded to 00:00:38:15.). I position myself in the frame and minute:exact second and there doesn't seem to be anything strange, neither blacks nor corrupt video, I export again and it seems to be solved but it gives me the same error in a different frame, I've been dealing with this problem all day today and I could not solve it, please help me. I already tried to take it to another library, another project, delete the rendering files, export in mp4, apple pro res, h264 etc and nothing. And another error is this, similar:

Use the General FCP settings to change to display view. Go to the specified frame number and replace or cut the shot at point which seems to be corrupt.
