After a bit more research I have actually found a solution!! Not sure what app nap is but I went and checked the “prevent app nap” box when I clicked “get info” on fcpx application.

I am now exporting images without any problems! Thanks again for your advice Craig =D

Thanks for your response and trying to get me all working properly again 🙂 As far as I know this is the only issue I am having on this account at this time. I was afraid I would have to do a clean install to fix this and hoping to leave that for a last result since it is so time consuming getting everything transferred then installed again. If needed though I will go that route but hopefully there is some cache or folder I can delete to reset what is getting stuck and causing the “Waiting” issue.

I was thinking about just using the other account in the meantime to take screengrabs since I really only need to do it a few hours every week. When I try to open up the fcpx projects from the main admin account into my newly made secondary account FCPX says “permission is denied and we cannot save your progress” then forced me to quit. I had gone to the “movies” folder of the 1st admin account and made that folder “read/write” access for all so am not sure where the permission is getting hung up on for me to not be able to use that folder?

As for saving it into folders I have actually tried multiple locations on different drives that do have “read/write” access so the permission is there to save them on my main account.

Any other suggestions besides trying disc warrior? Will put that though on my things to try list today and see if that clears anything up.

Thanks for the advice!
