SOLUTION: FCPX error "error -536870186"
Found a thread on here about Final Cut Pro X error -536870186 and wanted to provide some information on solutions:
For context;
- I am running the latest version of FCPX (11.1)
- My project and the media files within the project are saved to a 5TB external HDD Hard Drive.
- I am exporting video and audio in Apple ProRes 422 format
A couple things to try if you have this error code:
Delete Generated Clip Files
(File > Delete Generated Clip Files > Delete Optimized and/or Proxy Media)
Reset FCPX preferences
(Quit FCPX, Hold Command+Option and launch FCPX)
Check for frame render issues
(Final Cut Pro > Settings > Set Time Display to "Frames" and check for errors) If your project is rendering, you should see the dotted lines above your media in the timeline.
**Check Compound Clips**
This worked for me. I created a couple of compound clips within the project that needed to finish rendering before the main timeline could export. Ensure that all compound clips render properly and try the export again.
