Hi, Ive followed all the instructions here but create archive remains greyed out when I select the folder that was created. I am on FCP X 10.3.4.
Has anything changed in the updates? Is it still working as described in the video for others?

  Same thing here. Some times FCPX creates the required .plist file when it creates the archive, but most of the times it doesn’t. Completely unreliable.
