I can't export or share my project.

Okay, I am a beginner and trying my best. But right now my best is definately not good enough.
I am using the 30-day trial of Final Cut Pro X with the latest updates. It's only limitation is the 30-day trial so I should be able to export and share my project.
After I mark the project and then click on the share-symbol->export I get the following message: "This item cannot be shared while it is still referencing media on the camera." I have also tried file->share but that menu is in gray and I can't click the options. If I click on any of the clips in the events window I can export them but that's not what I want to do.
I can't remove the trial and download it again since I can only download it once.
I suspect it might have something to do with my organizing the clips and the original files. My originals are in a folder on the desktop and that is the location I import media from into Final Cut's events.
If you have any ideas, please help me out.
Sincerely,
Edith

Thanks for your fast reply!
I had the copy to event function checked on. The folder is a regular folder that I created on my desktop. I have put other folders inside that folder, one of which is called "FILM" and contains 10 camera archive folders that the camera (Sony NEX-5N) created for me. That is how the footage was automatically uploaded onto my MacBook Pro. Each of the camera archive folders contains multiple clips.

HT5103 how do i export or share my project

I downloaded the trial version of Final Cut Pro X V10.0.6 and can't see any share tab on the top menu. There is one however in the Edit Menu, but it shows the icons for YouTube and other sites and then ones for Export File. I have tried a number of times to find the external hard drive I want to save this exported movie but can't seem to figure out how to export this project.
It says that the trial version is fully functional for 30 days, but I can't figure out how to export a Quicktime movie of my project.

That's weird. 10.0.6 has this same share path / feature. It is on the far right hand side. (In fact, my image IS from 10.0.6)
Sounds like you need to gain some basic FCPX skills. There are many tutorials on line. (And some people in this discussion group offer courses / books.) See: Tom Wolsky
That said:
You can fit the timeline to fill the screen by hitting SHIFT + Z.
You can adjust the clip appearance by clicking on this icon in the lower left:
Then, once you click it, you have several options:

Export gives "Unable to create" error,Can't EXPORT or SHARE modified images

I am running iPhoto 8.1.2 and I cannot export or share any images I modify.
Upon editing images (cropping or enhancing color profile), I am unable to drag and drop images to my desktop (gives a "∅" symbol) which I used to do all the time. I cannot export them - iPhoto gives an error: "Unable to create" filename error...
If I look at the "Show file" and verify the contents of the folder, none of the images I have modified appear there. If I look at "Show original file" all the original files are there but do not have my edits/cropping, etc. Where are my modified images going and how can I get to them? iPhoto seems like it is getting Alzheimer's or something...
I have tried closing and re-opened iPhoto and all the images thumbnails appear to be ok with my updated crops/enhancements. Double-clicking and opening them opens files with the correct edit/enhancements. Everything seems ok until I try to export or share any of the modified photos.
I tried rebuilding iPhoto and selecting the first 4 options but after the rebuild the problem still persists...
None of the files that I cropped/enhanced appear in the "Modified" folder for that date. There are some files there, but they appear to be files that I deleted!
So, where are my cropped/enhanced photos going??? iPhoto shows them ok in the Events, etc. but they are not in the "Modified" folder and I cannot export, drag/drop, email or share them...
This has been happening to me for awhile now and it is very frustrating. iPhoto is ok so long as I don't do any cropping or enhancing. If I do that, then it gets all screwed up...
I know that I can use something like "iPhoto Library Manager" to rebuild stuff but I don't want to lose any of my data. I have done extensive work with faces, places, attributes, names, etc...
I JUST WANT iPHOTO TO WORK LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO AND LIKE IT USED TO!
Thanks,
Steve

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair Library permissions.
If the permissions have been mucked up somehow, it's likely that your edits have not been saved.
If the fails:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Can't export or share in Final Cut Pro X

Hi. Brand new to FCPX, this is my first project. I imported a project from iMovie, finished editing it in FCPX, and wanted to export/share it. The menu is completely grayed-out, and the keyboard command (Command-E) does nothing. What am I missing?

Me three
-- I have this problem with a project that renders perfectly and plays back in FCPx. It is showing me a '!' warning but not showing me where the problem is. I've already shared the project once.
After a client meeting I did some more colour grading and changed the sizes of all the titles -- now no share menu (greyed out).
In desparation, I resorted to screenium to copy the project whilst having FCPx play in full screen mode --- Now double mad is that!

Can I export my FCP X project directly into iDVD?

I have not yet purchased FCP X, but before I do, I want to make sure that I can import my FCP X project directly into iDVD along with chapter markers. Thank you for your help.

Yeah it's pretty straightforward- just a lot of export presets and you get a lot more than DVD making codecs. That said, if you want to just add chapters to a track you can always try something like this: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20060119212015646

Can you export FInal Cut express project to IDVD?

I am currently using IMOVIE and IDVD. I am considering purchasing Final Cut Express. Someone told me that you cannot export a completed Final Cut Express File to IDVD. Is this correct. Would I have to invest in DVD Studio?
Thanks,
Benjamin

Completely untrue. Some people seem to have issues
with chapter markers not importing correctly on
occasions, but otherwise it works fine
Can anyone comment on this problem and the solution? I just upgraded to FCX HD and iDVD 5.0, and I can no longer put chapters in my movies. Worked just fine under FCX 2.0 and iDVD 4.
Thanks,

Can't export iMovie 10.0.1 to Vimeo or anywhere else

Just started using iMovie 10.0.1 and can't export or share a thing. Get rendering error 50 when trying to upload to Vimeo (and this ia a small file too).
Just as a side note, I've been using iMovie for well over 5 yrs but this is the first time I've ever experienced continual problems using an Apple product. I don't know why they took a successful software, changed it and in doing so, ruined it.
So my question to all you smart people out there is how does one export without experiencing rendering error 50???

Let me make sure I understand correctly what you're doing:
I'm assuming you have the latest version of itunes, correct?
When you connect your phone to itunes, do you get any pop ups? If you do, click cancel. Click the button, check for update, is this where you're getting that error message? Are you on a windows pc or a mac? If you're on a windows pc, make sure BEFORE you connect your phone that you disable your anti-virus software, turn off your firewall, disable any malware software & see if that will let you upgrade. On a 3gs, to install any firmware(assuming you're running the latest version of itunes), itunes HAS to contact apple's servers.

Quicktime cant export or share!

My Quicktime can't export or share files!
The Export seems to work fine but crashes in the end, the exported file crashes every software (Quicktime, iMovie, Mail etc.)
The same problem when exporting in iMovie!
The same file converts just fine on my girlfriends mac.
What can I do?
(I run the latest system and Quicktime pro version on an iMac G5...)
Thanks in advance!
//Mikael

Yes the files opens and plays perfectly in Quicktime.
I have had this problem for a while, the file i tryed now has format and codek:
Motion JPEG OpenDML, Unsigned Integer (Whatever that means)
Todays files are from a Cannon camera but I have had similar problems in other files i.e. original iMovie files...
Previous attempts to fix this problem has been:
- Reinstalling Quicktime.
- Creating a new user on this mac.
- Reinstalling the system (keeping my user info)
None of these helped.
The error message I get includes this text "KERNINVALIDADDRESS (0x0001) at 0xc0000000 quicktime"
Greatful for any advise!
With regards

How can I export/share events (not projects)?

Hi,
I would like to share my raw video footage-- "events" in iMovie-- with a colleague so she can use it for her own projects. At a one-to-one appointment last week, the trainer told me the only way to share it was to save it to an external hard drive. She said the hard drive would appear in the events window and then I could just drag the events onto the drive. I just bought a drive, plugged it in, and it appears in the events window, but iMovie won't let me drag the events onto it. I can't figure out a way to move the events over to the hard drive. I'm not using Time Machine because I only want to copy the video footage and my colleague uses a PC.
Help?? Thanks!

Update: I reformated the hard drive to be just for Mac, and I could drag the events over.
So is there a way to save the events to a hard drive formated for BOTH Macs and PCs?
Thanks!

How can I export many short videos from one project?

We had an awards ceremony, and the entirety of the program was filmed and is now saved on my computer as one large, continuous file. I would like to edit it down to only the acceptance speechers (there are about 10 or so) and export them to MPEGs to share online. Is there a way I can do this from within one project or do I need to start over every time, editing each speech out individually and then exporting?
Let me know if my phrasing was unclear. Thanks for helping!

I would offer the principles involved in the following blog post for handling the task that you describe.
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/06/pe11-project-assets-organization-for.html
This involves trimming of the source (in Project Media area) in Preview Windows with the program's Set In Set Out points and the saving the trims as subclips in the Project Media and/or trims dragged to the Timeline.
If interested, please let me know if you need clarification on anything written.
We will be watching for your progress.
Thank you.

I can't export my project in Final Cut Pro X

Hey Troops. So after buying my new powerbook few months back finally have had a chance to use Final Cut Pro X. After completing my project, I went into 'FILE' clicked on 'SHARE' just see all my options greyed out. I checked to see if I needed an update and that doesn't appear to be the problem.
In past versions I would of thought I forgot to render, but with the auto render thats not the case.
Could use some help.
Cheers,
Dallas

I don't think this has anything to do with updates/
Make sure that your timeline has focus.
Also, it may well be that some of your clips has not been completely imported and still references the camera card. In that case, you can't export.
Locate the clip or clips (they may be showing a little camera badge in the browser) and do File->Import->Reimport from Camera/Archive...

Hello there, averypamby.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great information in regards to sharing/exporting your video in Motion:
Motion 5: Export a QuickTime movie
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH16623
Export your project as a movie file
Choose Share > Export Movie (or press Command-E).
Choose an export format from the Export pop-up menu.
This menu provides a list of codecs.
Choose an option from the “Open with” pop-up menu:
Do Nothing: The movie is not opened after the export is completed.
Open with QuickTime Player: The movie is opened in QuickTime Player.
Open with Compressor: The movie is opened in Compressor (if installed on your system).
Choose an option from the Include pop-up menu: Video and Audio, or Video Only.
If you’ve set In and Out points in the Timeline, use the Duration pop-up menu to choose whether to export the sequence or the portion between the In and Out points.
To specify additional Motion-specific options, click Render.
For more information about options available in the Render pane, see Render settings.
To see details about the file to be output, click Summary.
Click Next.
Enter a name and choose a location for the exported file, then click Save.
Motion renders and saves your movie.
Important:    The Export Movie command does not use background rendering, so you must wait until rendering is finished before you can continue to work in Motion.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.
