  • cmd E -ProRes export stucks at “preparing media for share”

    Posted by Clermond Ferrand on May 22, 2018 at 8:12 pm

    Everything was fine until for weeks until today when I wanted to export a ProRes master from my project.
    A window popped up “preparing media for share” and FCPX stuck with the famous beachball.
    My mp4 compressor preset exports fine.

    I deleted the share settings and added a new one.
    I deleted the prefs of FCPX (alt cmd)
    I deleted PRAM when booting also I excecuted safe boot

    I still get stuck in the “preparing media for share”

    I attach my Pegasus to the MacBookPro and export the same project. I don’t see that window on my MacBookPro. It works fine except a notification about missing effects, generators or titles. I have no idea which one is missing but the video file looks okay..

    I found a work-around while typing: adding share destination as ProRes setting from Compressor.
    I am still curious what was happening?

    I’d get this tool and have a look at all the effects with this tool:

    https://www.spherico.com/filmtools/X-Files/X-FXHandler/

    It will allow you to see, with a bird’s eye view, all the templates that are in that Project (after exporting an XML).

    It may point to missing effects (returns a value of “False” in the left column).

    thanks Jeremy for this hint. I know this great tool from Andreas Kiel and I checked this before. All effects are true. There is also no problem when exporting with my compressor presets. Missing effects should be affected there also.

    Do you have any slow motion clips with optical flow?

    Another thing to do is to make a brand new Project and copy/paste the program in to it. That may shake loose any weirdness.
