Most projects take under a minute.
This is taking longer than usual. The conversion keeps going as long as this tab stays open. If you'd rather not wait, get the desktop app, which runs on your own computer.

If a project didn't convert, the file name and what you expected to see help most. Attaching the .fcp file helps even more.
