Cannot Render or Export a 1h20m timeline

Hours of rendering? Share monitor? That doesn’t sound good. What version of FCP X are you on? Version 10.0.6 and after uses the CPU & GPU to render and it is much faster. Also, the share monitor was dropped in 10.0.6 and is only used for Compressor. Try exporting without compressor if you are on an older version of FCP X. Plus there is no need to render before exporting.

Although 10.0.4 and 10.0.5 are pretty stable (I made projects much more complicated that what you are describing) unless you are dependent on some third party plugins that have trouble with the latest version of FCP X, update to 10.0.7.

Also you might have a problem with the drive that your event/project lives. Try sharing to a different drive, it might make a difference.

Thanks for response. I am using 10.0.7. I found one more plugin I got from FCP.co and removed it . Re-rendered and it worked. Everything is perfect except on effect with four pictures are empty for 3 seconds, I guess something I missed when removing effects. But it’s just a home video so I am happy I got everything else. I removed the project and event to my “do not load folder”. I never want to see that project again, just the final video on Apple TV .

I will be very careful of plugins I get free from noe on. I have used many plugin effects in past from fcp.co, especially a photo album and was pleases.
