  • FCP X suddenly failing to upload directly to YouTube.

    So I’ve suddenly got a problem with Final Cut Pro X 10.0.9 failing consistently in any attempt to share directly to YouTube.

    Up until about a week ago, I had been having no problems with any upload. I would finish editing in the timeline, share the file, it would create the .mov file and then upload it to my YouTube channel.

    About a week ago, however, I suddenly began to have a consistent error with every single upload. Now if I attempt to share directly to YouTube and turn on the Background Tasks window, I can see that at 50% the .mov file gets created as per normal. Then the percentage gets all the way to 99% before it then gives me an error message saying that the share to YouTube has failed. When I then check YouTube, there is NO indication that it has actually attempted any sort of upload at all. There is no aborted upload, nothing.

    I made no changes that I am aware of in my FCP preferences or workflow. Can anyone help me figure out what I can try or change or check to get the upload process working again? Yes, I CAN upload the .mov file to YouTube directly–but that equates into changing the entire workflow timing on the channel (as I often need to be uploading overnight, which made the one step render and upload workflow work very well for my channel).

    I am on a Mac, OS X 10.9.5. I don’t know what other info people might need for this one. But any help would be REALLY appreciated, because since I didn’t change anything, I don’t know where to even attempt to fix it. (And I know it MIGHT be over on YouTube’s side, even).

    this is an FCPX question.
    it needs to be posted in the FCPX Techniques FOrum
    this forum is for FCP7 and under

    My apologies! Multiple Google searches came up as this being the correct forum! I’ll put it in the right place.
