FCP 10.2 won't export to Youtube, won't export a Master File

This problem started before I updated FCP last night, but I try the direct share to Youtube option, and where normally after a few hours its done, this time it says 'upload successful' but no video shows up in my channel's video manager.
When I tried it again, it failed with the error code (-60), so I decided to go a different route and process a master file, then manually upload it.
Still no joy. I have videos that are now two days late for the channel schedule, if anyone else is having this problem and fixed it, please share your technique!

I forgot to update that OS setting in my profile, that's my bad.
I set a video to direct upload to youtube, it goes through the usual process, I get a notification that the upload was successful, but still the video doesn't appear on youtube, not even processing. It's been a day since this problem, whatever it is, started happening.
I didn't change any settings from before and this was all perfectly functional on Saturday 11th, I first noticed it on Sunday night, and then it persisted all day Monday.
So the alternate approach, usually, is to create a master file - which now fails and gives me the error message (-60)
I can't think of a reason for this to be happening.
EDIT: Just tried outputting a different, much shorted clip as a master file and it worked fine. This just deepens the confusion.

Good evening. When I try to rename a master file or export a master file, it only allows 9 spaces for my new name, even though Aperature 3 allows many more spaces than that for version names. This creates a lot of problems and headaches for me.

Good evening. When I try to rename a master file or export a master file, Aperature 3 only recognizes the first 9 spaces for raw .NEF files, even though it easily uses twice that many spaces for version names. I have a system in place that works really well for me, wherein by changing the file name I can recognize what's important to me just by glancing at the file name, no matter what system it is in, I do not have to open or mouse over anything to know what the file is. My files also arrange themselves in order no matter what file system they are in. Can someone please tell me if there is a setting, or something I am doing wrong, that prevents me from using a longer Master file name. I can't be the only person who would like to have his Master File names correspond to the name that appears in the Aperature library, and would like to use at least 16 spaces (numbers, letters, etc.)

Hi Frank,
As you suggested, I am attaching several screen shots. In the first one you can see how I set up my preset. I used "Custom Name" and "Counter" with a dot between the two drag ins, followed by "D90". I also have a dot to seperate the 8 digits in the Custom Name and make it easier to read.
I then click "OK" which takes us to the second screen shot. Here you can see that in the Example File Name everything looks perfect, and you can see I have clicked on "Apply to Master Files".
In the third screen shot you can see that the version in my library did in fact change correctly. With the "mouse over" pop up screen you can see, however, that the Master File name was changed to "1933.1017.NEF". It failed to carry the "12D90" and if I go to where my masters are stored that is exactly what the name was changed to.
In the fourth screen shot I attempt to export the master. You can see how my "Version Name" is set up.
And finally on the 5th screen shot you see in the File Name Example the name "1933.1017.NEF" once again, which when I export the master is exactly how the name will appear. Since I will export more than one file at a time , a (1) and a (2) etc., will appear at the end of the names because all the files are being given the same "1933.1017.NEF" name.
I hope this reply does a better job of clarifying my problem. I am anxious to see if this is something I simply misunderstood, or if I am simply doing something wrong.

Why, when exporting as master file from FCX, I have problem with sync

I edited all audio of a short movie in protools, bounced a stereo file, imported it in final cut and shared the master file at prores 422, from there through compressor I have created 2 files (mpeg 2 and ac3) and burnt a dvd but seems always to be out of sync , why?
fortunately i still have dvd studio pro that allow me to "nudge" the audio to fix the problem, but all this is quite time consuming.
any advice?

I have fixed some issue about audio and video, created a new project with correct sample rate, imported the master video at same frame rate, and in pt bounced a new track of audio, so no orange bar, everything fine in FCX,AUDIO AND VIDEO PERFECTLY IN SYNC. i exported a master file at best current setting and in compressor have created a dvd setup hi quality, 2 pass vbr encoding mode etc
and.. imported the m2v file and ac3 in DVD STUDIO PRO, and on time line i hear out of sync, now i don't know if the problem happen during the encoding in compressor or is dvd studio pro.

Why does Final Cut Pro change my title's baseline after the first two titles when exporting a master file?

Hey Guys,
I want to use a Zoom title (Titles -> Build In/Out -> Zoom). I only want the title, not a subtitle. So I insert Zoom's everywhere, type in my stuff for Line 1, delete the contents of Line 2, format it (font, tracking, etc.). Everything looks great in the Viewer. I let it render, then export a Master – same as source. I open the MOV, the first two titles are great. Then every title thereafter looks like someone changed the position by 100 pixels south of its original location.
Here's what I've done to troubleshoot it:
Removed all Zoom's, inserted new ones, removed the contents of Line 2 and left Line 1 alone (i.e. it still reads "Title"). When I export, everything's fine. The moment I change formatting or put in new copy in Line 1, same thing happens – every title changes position by 100 pixels down.
Downloaded Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager, trashed pref's/
I'm using a TTF with a bold type body only. Figured I'd leave it at Gill Sans Bold. Same thing happens as soon as I type something custom into Line 1.
I had a text style saved and removed it. (Which wasn't easy. Solution here.)
Has this ever happened to you?
Thanks!

Hey Jim,
Thanks for the follow-up. Here are some more details:
OS - 10.8.2
FCP X - 10.0.7
I can't update either of these because of my Avid installation.
Something else I didn't mention – this happens in a 4K project. Notice how a default Zoom title looks:
Lines 1 and 2 are almost stacked on top of each other.
Here's my title style:
Here's what the title looks after I apply the title style, modify Line 1, and remove the contents of Line 2:
And here's how it looks in the exported master file MOV:
Notice how it's pushed down?
Then I decided to make a 720p project. No more title problems.
So if you have some 4K footage, Jim, give it a go. Or if there's another 4K-er out there, try this and let me know.
Thanks!

Error 108 when exporting in Master file

My project is a 2-hours multicam edit. And I have this error 108 when I go to the Final Cut Pro X share menu and select "Master files" (Fichier Master" en français).
After a certain period of time, an alert will appear with this number.
What I don't get is why it's working when exporting with the other entries from this Share Menu !
Ps : I saw that this question was replied quite a time ago, but the given solutions don't work for me.
(Mac Pro (Mid 2010) - OS X 10.8.4 - memory - 16 Go - FCP X 10.0.9)

My project is 1920 x 1080 - 25i - surround - 48 khz
When I use the export menu, it is said Video Codec : Source is Apple ProRes 422
RAM is 16 Go - Hard Drives have plenty of room avail.
As you might know this problem is known but never found any help. some say it's a bug...

Exporting The Master File, AVI Uncompressed.

Hello Everyone.
I want to know what Is the best Export Setting to Export my 1920 by 1080, 30 fps, Edited Version movie, so I can have a File that Is not Lossless.
from there I can always Export to other settings such as You Tube, or even D.V.D.
My concern Is to have the best possible File, I have Plenty of Disk Space so It is ok for me To save them In My Hard Drive.
I use the MPEG2- HD 1080i 29.97.
Also I have a choice of using the: Match Source High bitrate.
My friend told me, the best Export setting for the Master file Is: AVI ( Uncompressed) with the Quality Slider to 100 percent, and check the Use Maximum Render Quality box Checked. Then you have nothing to worry about, and later you can export that to what ever version you like.
Please let me know, which one Is correct.
Once Again Thank you very much.

...so I can have a File that Is not Lossless.
I'm confused.
Surely you meant you want a lossless file for archive.
Here are a few recommended free codecs. I prefer Ut for archives.
All of these are better choices than using .avi Uncompressed.
Ut Video Codec Suite (pc or mac / .avi .mov / lossless)

Lagarith Lossless Video Codec (pc only / .avi / lossless)

What settings for exporting a master file?

Wondering what would be recommended to export as if you're looking to create a HQ master?

On the Mac, Apple ProRes is widely used for mastering.
On the PC, some common choices are Avid DNxHD, Lagarith Lossless, UT, or Cineform codecs. All of those are free downloads. They make large files, yet still much smaller than "uncompressed".
Check out my recent blog here for PC codec options for Premiere Pro users: http://blog.sharbor.com/blog/2014/06/mezzanine-codec-options-for-pc-video-editors/

Export as a master file FOR Youtube?

I want to export my videos for uploading to Youtube, however at the moment the file size is enormous (we're talking 6gb for a 4 minute video), which of course takes forever to upload.
I want to export it as a master file, rather than exporting it directly to youtube within FCPX, because I want to have an actual copy of the file on my computer, as well as the fact that I've been having some trouble with the youtube sign in through FCPX, so basically I've just been export in as a Master File with all the default settings for 1080p.
Anyway, what settings should I use to get a good quality video that isn't so enormous that it takes ages to upload?
Sorry, I'm pretty new to this, and kind of teaching myself as I go along.
When uploading to Youtube, it suggests uploading a different format for faster processing/uploading...
So I clicked the link to the help centre where it talked about how to encode the video. But I'm still trying to learn all this, so I'm not sure if this is something I need to do when i first start the Project, or if there are settings I should change when I export it as a Master File, or if there is something I've just missed altogether.
I'll include screen shots of Youtube's recommendations.
Any help or advice would be hugely appreciated Thankyou!

My suggestion: keep it simple.
The simplest way is to export a master file AND also export to youtube. There is nothing preventing you from making several exports of the same material!
(As it happens, you can also do this "double export" in one fell swoop, using destination bundles - but, again, keep it simple; you can learn that later).
Anyway, you certainly don't need Compressor. Compressor is only useful if you need something specific that FCP X can't directly provide - but that usually means an experienced user who knows his/her way around the arcane compression options - in other words, complex stuff.
If you don't want to use FCP X to export directly to youtube: just export a Master File, but instead of the default (which is ProRes, and, as Karsten explained and you acutely felt, produces massive files), choose H264. Then upload via the youtube site.

Looking for some help with an error message when exporting master file. I'm stuck and would even pay to get this sorted out!

Hey guys, I'm really in a bind here and need some urgent help tonite. I would even be willing to pay for some actual help and not some vague information that i may not be able to understand if we could do something via skype or some other way that would be much quicker than a message board. Of course I have to have the project done by tomorow . so I'm new to fcpx, but have succesfully exported 2 other projects. I've also ran into this predicament before (error message not allowing me complete export) and have been able to solve that by converting the files i imported off my camera (canon g20) to a different file type (prores).
so where I'm at now: i have a 13 min short, all shot on my canon g20, imported and converted to prores422 with the brorsoft video converter with all the shots in a single event in fcpx. i'm using fcpx version 10.0.08. I have one main video track in my timeline that is completely full of very fast edits. (all quick 2-5 second clips, sped up shots in 2x, 4x, or 8x, tons of transitions, titles, and a little fx. theres 2 audio tracks, one is narration/speech and the other is an ongoing music track that constantly ducks everytime the subject speaks (tons of ducks/edits). Have you seen mtv cribs? Well i filmed an EXACT replica. So If you've seen one of those episodes, its literally the same exact same thing. I have all of my work completed, everything has been fully rendered, and i have it exactly as I want it.
I'm including all this information in case it may help. my successful projects ive exported in the past were rather simple, and this one is very complex and full of edits. here is what it looks like in the timeline:
Ive tried exporting the master file using almost all the different ways with no luck. My primary objective is to get it on youtube by any means by tommorow for a showing to a potential buyer (long story) and so I've been told using the h.264 is the best format for that. This, along with the other methods give me the same error message:
It think it gives this error message when i reach 24% everytime during export.
So first of all, what is that error message? Do i need to be concerned about the specifics of it, or is there something major that I'm missing? Like i said, i dont care how, but I need to get this video up on youtube tonite for an important viewing tomorrow. Conceptually, I think if i can figure this one out I shouldnt have any more trouble in the future doing something so basic, yet critical, such as exporting my 40+ hours of work for someone to see.
anyway, I apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge with this software, and for my extremely long winded question which will probably have the opposite effect for me as most wont want to take the time to read all this, BUT i figured if i was as thorough as possible it might help actually getting a concrete answer, instead of a "read the manual, exporting is on page 37." or "use the share button on the right of the timeline then just click export master file and it will work everytime."
Cheers everybody, and thank you. Like i said if someone is up, and willing to talk via skype, phone, messanger or any other method that works for you I would be totally down and will compensate you generously for your time. thanks again.
Taphabit

boom! that advice was correct and worked. i was able to export the full project as a quicktime movie and it can be uploaded to youtube.
NOTE, theres is definately quite a few noticeable audio glitches/lags/pops that werent there before doing this. I believe, and will test to make sure, that having a project such as this one needs to render before exporting. I'm not sure if the advice requires the project to be unrendered before exporting for a specific reason, because if it will export fine after rendering the project that's the way to go. like i said the edited version i have in my timeline plays back perfectly but this exported version has quite a few noticeable audio glitches (a few video glitches too). I'm going to retry doing the first few steps of your advice, but then at the end render, then export and compare the results...
OK, so this leads to a big question, Is this something that is standard for everyone when trying to export? If its not, what causes this error?
is there any way of preemptively avoiding it in future projects?
thanks again, and hopefully this information will help others as exporting seem to be one of the biggest problems in fcpx. any word on a new patch or firmware update?

Error message when attempting to export master file?

I am running Mavericks and have FCP 10.1
When I try to export a master file, I keep receiving the error message "The share operation master file has failed. An error occurred when creating frame ..... (error -1)."
I've turned off background rendering, I've tried copy and pasting entire timeline into a new project, and I've tried deleting project and event rendering files.
At this point, I don't know what else to do.
Help?

Returning to when you turned off BG Renderiing and deleted project and event renders, did you delete all renders? And before you tried exporting, did you leave BG Rendering off and did you try exporting without manually rendering?

I did delete all renders. I did not manually render anything. BG Rendering off, I clicked export master file and that was all.

ARCHIVE HD: What format to export master file of edit

My one-man band operation just entered the HD world as of a few weeks ago. I use FCP7 and shoot 720p/59.94 AVC-I 100 30pn with a Panasonic AG-HPX300. I ingested the P2 into FCP in ProRes HQ and have completed my first edit. I am going to send it to COMPRESSOR for a variety of distribution outlets (DVD, websites, soon-to-be-award-winning PBS documentary, there is even Oscar buzz)
However, this post is about a logistically and technically smart archive system. Here is my three step post-tape archive concept for my dedicated external hard drive that is stored in a safe place.
1. Copy all the original P2 files.
2. Use Media Manager of the edit in ProRes HQ and copy all of that to the arhive.
3. Export a master file of the edit for the archive.
I recently saw a post where Shane made a point, in his very gentle and diplomatic way, about ProRes HQ being for big broadcast projection situations and that regular ProRes would suffice. But he was generously sharing his expertise with someone who was using HDV. 'Overkill' I believe was one description of ProRes HQ.
So the question is, if you are shooting 720p/59.94 AVC-I 100 30pn, editing in ProRes HQ, and making a master file of an edit to archive on a backup external hard drive, what export settings would you use... and how many mistakes have I already made thus far?
Je voudrais vous remercier en avance.

Apple's white paper on the ProRes family tells us HQ was developed as a means to deal with 2k/4k material. It is unlikely you'll see much difference between std ProRes and the HQ variant given your starting material.
The one work flow where HQ may offer you a benefit is if you are a heavy user of Color where the extra information contained in the original material comes into play. Do a test and see what happens. If the std version of ProRes does what you want, you'll save a bit of file space. Even though drives are relatively inexpensive these days, keeping down the file sizes does help.

Exporting Master File to iDVD - interlacing problem?

Hi,
I am finally at the stage of exporting our school play recording to iDVD (is there a better alternative?). Anyway - I have read many posts on the matter here - and the consensus seems to be that I should export a Master File (this is a massive 52Gb). I have done this, using the default settings. The picture is clear - but fast movement causes a funny distortion - stripes almost. A friend who is versed in Handbreak told me that it was a interlacing issue. What should I do to combat this? Hope someone can help

Hi,
Thanks for this. I have create an empty project which is 1080p. How do i safley move my finished 1080i project to the 1080p project. Apologies if this is a very basic question.

To render, or not to render ... exporting to a Master File question.

Hi again
What's the best workflow with regards to rendering? Specifically:
Will exporting to a Master File do exactly the same amount of rendering as selecting 'Render All', and then exporting to a Master File?
If so, if I render all my clips / transitions first and then export to a Master File, should it export very quickly (as no further rendering is required)? I appreciate this will use up more disk space as it will have to create all the render files, and then create a 'flattened' version of the whole project in the Master File.
If I've understood things correctly so far, is it generally best to render everything before exporting to a Master File? Otherwise if you had created the Master File from an un-rendered timeline, but then needed to tweak a tiny part of the project, you would have to re-render everything when exporting the Master File again?
Many thanks for any tips / advice!
David
PS. I'm always optimising my media first.

Hi Dan
I don't know to be honest I'm thrilled with the newfound speed of this machine, everything just happens so much faster! In the end I re-rendered my entire project, and what took almost 3 days of practically 24-hour rendering on my old laptop (running overnight, taking the computer to work with me and letting it run during the day), this new machine finished the whole thing in 3 hours!
By the way, I've been using the G-Drive Mini 1TB 7200rpm drives and find they perform extremely well over USB 3:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/HB136ZM/A/g-technology-1tb-g-drive-mini-usb-30 -high-speed-portable-hard-drive?fnode=5f
I don't have any multicam stuff in my project, but for general projects these drives should be absolutely fine.
Cheers!

I am trying to export a video I have made in FCP 10.0.8 to Youtube or to a master file and I keep on getting an error -50, or "error exporting master file at frame 20074" Any ideas?

Having used FCExpress for a while I decided to give FC Pro X a trial, I created my first video with it, exported to youtube and it worked fine. I am now trying to export my second video to youtube and I get an error -50 which means absolutely nothing. Not being defeated that easy I tried exporting to a mster file using the H.264 codec and I get an error "exporting master file at frame 20074" - again another useless error. It takes at least 10 minutes to get to this error after the rendering has started, it gets about 12% in. Any ideas where to start - I am seriously at the point of giving up with Final Cut Pro X simply on the basis of it being more trouble than its worth - I am just glad I did not pay for it yet...
Any help would be much appreciated.
Gerry

Hi Russ,
Thanks for your response. I am not an experienced user of FC or other video editing software but if its that hit and miss I think I will go to the trouble of finding some better software - I have a busy enough life as is, I don;t want to get into second guessing what a software problem might be!
I have just successfully exported my video to a master file using one of the Apple codec options so it looks like it could be to do with the H.264 codec. I am wondering if Apples Compressor software would solve this problem - the only way to try this it to buy it, there is not trial for the compressor app. Any ideas?
Thanks
Gerry

Best practice for exporting a .mov file for YouTube

I am using FCPX 10.0.9 with a MacBook Pro. We are needing to upload relatively small-size high school football videos as .mov files to YouTube for my newspaper. I have been choosing the Export File option with the setting set to h.264, exporting the file to the desktop and then uploading that .mov file to YouTube. (I do not have Compressor installed on this Mac.) The other night the first of three files done like this uploaded fine, but the next two just kept processing and processing at YouTube and never finished. The following morning the files processed fine. Any thoughts about why ths might be happening?
And would it be better to export in another file format --.mp4 files -- instead that might cause less of a problem and which of the export options would be best?
Thanks,
Douglas

Am I correctly uploading a .mov file to YouTube by using the Export File command with the export setting set to .h264 then if I wish a reasonable size file for upload?
Sure. There are many ways to get videos to YT and yours is a reasonable approach.
"Reasonable size" should be thought of in terms of upload time. Again, YT will re-compress whatever you give it. So depending on how quickly you need to get it up on the Web, it's better to upload files that have more information than less information. (To that end, some folks upload very large Pro Res files; they also have a lot of patience.)
Just to let you know, the majority of FCPX users follow one of two workflows:
1) Share>You Tube option and have FCP handle the uploading;
2) Export as a Pro Res Master File; bring the master file into Compressor and apply the user's custom settings; upload using YT's uploader.
FWIW, I prefer the second workflow.
