I'm perplexed over this one. I'm using Final Cut Pro version 10.6.8. I have a video that is about 22 minutes long. When I attempt to share the video only the first 7 minutes gets shared. I've been using FCP since 2015. I've never seen a problem like this with FCP before. It's really weird.
Any idea what would cause this to happen?
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.7
I never said anything about external drives. All of my video editing is ALWAYS on the SSD built into my MacBook Pro - no exceptions. I haven't memorized the exact formatting used - but I always pick the most typical - whatever that'd be. Nothing funky. Just normal stuff here. Nothing to see.
Eventually FCPX was able to share the complete video - after I first let the "Transcoding and Analysis" finish.
In the past I never noticed any issue with sharing a video while "Rendering" was in process. But, when I tried to share while Transcoding and Analysis was running FCPX (I'm using version 10) would only produce part of the video - with no errors whatsoever. FCPX acted like this is normal - yet only produced part of the video - not the complete video. Weird. Weird. Weird.
Slowly - but surely - macOS is behaving more and more like your typical Microsoft operating system. Sideways. And no one knows why.
I'm hoping it's just the fact that I'm using a 2015 MacBook Pro running Monterey. Hopefully I can buy a new MacBook Pro soonish.

In addition to what Michel said:
"(and sorry if this is too obvious, but…) make sure that you don’t have a range selection in the timeline"
I don't think I did - but all that information is gone now.
Hi(bonjour),
Did you export on external drive? If so, what is the drive’s format? It should be APFS for SSD or Mac OS extended for classic rotating hard drive.

Oh, so suddenly now 300GB is not enough? Too funny. My videos aren't that big - by the way. Maybe everyone is using 4k these days. I'm not. Unless I create a screen recording my videos are HD - 1080 - nearly all of the time. My source files are usually between 1GB to 15GB.
Anyway, it is suspected that "Transcoding and Analysis" needed finish before sharing a video.
300GB is not enough?
I found what seems to be the issue. It isn't disk space - at all. I have 300GB of free space.
Mind cluing us in to the issue so it could be helpful for others?
300GB is nothing, btw.
Transcoding and analysis are not the same thing as rendering. They are essential to get a stabilisation or retimed clip in timeline. Did you apply such effects?
FCPX not sharing FULL video - only partial
