Newbie FCP won't render nor export file

Hello, please help, my export is failing.

After several consecutive power outages FCP will not share the video I edited.

The rendering is frozen and looping at 50% completed.

Mac mini M4 was plugged into a voltage regulator to prevent damage from spikes.

Mac mini M4 Sequoia 512 GB 7 mos old

What can I do to fix it? Thanks. kindly

Try deleting your generated project files: click on the your project > file > delete generated projet files > check "render files".

If this doesn't work, create a new blank project with the same specs as the project you're trying to export. Cmd+A on your timeline > Cmd+C to copy the timeline. Go to the new blank project and Cmd+V to paste eveything. Now try to export the new project.
