Unable to Share (Export) a Project in FCPX

[Joe Marler]

[John Irvine] “Regarding Compressor – is it worth having? I would need to upgrade my OSX to the latest version (not a bad idea) and spend £50, but is it a more reliable platform for exporting and does it do DVD authoring?”

Compressor gives very flexible export options. It’s very inexpensive. It can be used for time lapse generation: it can import a still image sequence and transcode to a 4k or native-resolution ProRes file that FCPX can then edit efficiently. Procedure linked below in MacBreak Studio #353.

If you are not already on High Sierra 10.13.6 and FCPX 10.4.3, those would be good first steps in troubleshooting your “unable to share” problem. You can spend lots of time debugging some odd behavior only to have it fixed by running the latest app and OS versions. However I would not at this point suggest Mojave until FCPX is updated.

Re export to DVD, I haven’t burned a DVD in three years so I’m not familiar with the current software. This Larry Jordan article says Compressor can do it, but the best Apple authoring app was DVD Studio Pro which is long unavailable and compatibility with the latest (much less future) macOS unknown: https://larryjordan.com/articles/optimize-compressor-4-3-to-burn-dvds/
