IMovie 10.0.7 won't export my movie.

I have restarted, shut off time machine, removed a fast motion clip, I have enough HD space and I still get error -50.   Please help!

I'afraid it was a mistake to remove the event from the library using the Finder.  (It is never a good idea to mess with the contents of libraries with the Finder).  It would have been better to move the event from within iMovie to a different library then move that library to some external storage to free up space.
You can't replace the event with the Import function - that is for adding clips to an event. 
Libraries containing events from earlier versions of iMovie should be updated automatically, (after you accept a notification that they need to be updated) but you now have an event that iMovie no longer "knows about" and which contains projects which are also out of date.   At least you have the original media from the event back but I don't know how you can restore the projects unless you have a backup of the library from the earlier version of iMovie that contains the problem event. 
probably not a solution but I hope this helps.
Geoff.

  • TS3695 Imovie will not allow me to export my movie to Vimeo?

    Imovie will not allow me to export my movie to Vimeo because it is bigger than 500mb even though I have Vimeo Plus! Is there any solution?

    don't think so...I just posted the same question...seems to be a major glitch on Apple's part

  • IMovie won't export my movie

    Every time I try to export my movie from iMovie, I keep getting a message that states, "Unable to prepare project for publication. The project could not be prepared for publication because an error occurred. (File already open with write permission). HELP

    Find the project with finder and change read write permissions to everyone?

  • Flash CS4 won't export to .mov PLEASE HELP ME!!

    Like the title says, i've been trying to export my .fla as a .mov from the Export>Export Movie option in the File menu. It will start exporting but once the progress meter gets to the end it just stops and never finishes.
    I don't think it has anything to do with:
    A: multiple scenes
    B: actionscript directing to each scene
    C: movieclips
    since I was doing the exact same thing in CS3 without a problem.
    What i'm doing now in CS4 that I wasn't in the CS3 version:
    A: Motion tweens
    B: importing .ai files to my library
    C: using symbols created for flash in illustrator from imported .ai files.

    Thank you Zombie. Specifying the length helped me export as a quicktime movie.
    I wouldn't be surprised if there's a rubbish piece of coding in Flash CS4 that doesn't let you export a movie over 1 minute long without specifying the length of movie.
    Ridiculous really. I expect this could be fixed in seconds by Adobe, but instead I'm left trawling the internet for hours wasting budget.

  • My Imovie won't export a movie I created, my laptop won't support new software.  I need to reinstall the program but don't know how.

    I would like to reinstall Imovie onto my MacBook and don't know how.

    iMovie is part of iLife. It should be on the #2 gray instalation disk that came with your MacBook
    While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use iMovie. There's an iMovie Support Community where everybody uses iMovie. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/imovie

  • Imovie crash when I try to export my movie

    I've made a movie about me in iMovie for school, it is 2.28 min long. But when I try to export it, iMovie crash. It's so frustrating that when I for the first time use iMovie (which I spent a lot of money on), it compleatly crash. Somebody help me!! Need to have it done for wensday...

    Try exporting the project, and re-importing it.
    Also try to restart your iOS device.
    I find a soft-reset (restart while holding the power button until you see the apple logo).
    Hope this helps.

  • Imovie 8.0.6 won't import hd movies

    I am using iMovie 8.0.6. I used two Flip video cameras to take videos (one standard and one HD). I am trying to create a project combining still photos and videos. The standard videos have imported and been placed next to photos. iMovie will not import the hd movies, even though their file names are both MPEG-4 Movie.
    Can iMovie not have mixed movie types in one project?

  • Logic 9 - audio won't export to .mov

    I'm trying to export to a .mp4.
    When I try the export "audio to movie", at the end of the process I get a messag that says "invalid time" and the file is not saved.
    I tried using the old "copy audio and add to movie" within QT7 Pro and that wouldn't work either.  I couldn't even resave only the video without adding anything to it. 
    Is this a problem with the movie itself?  What can I use that will allow me to convert the movie to a usable format?
    Thanks,
    Larry

    LHall,
    Do you mean to add your audio to your .mov file?  I usually use "Total Video Converter" on App store, which has a tool "Multiplex video and audio into one file",  which can multiplex video and audio into one file. Maybe can help you
    Good luck.

  • I just upgraded to the latest version of IMovie and now I can not export my movie so that I can publish it.

    latest version of iMovie has share but I can not get my movie to save to a file.  all buttons click and it appears to have saved but I an not find the movie in the folder I saved it.

    I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this  thread for background.

  • Imovie HD acting weird; won't show finished movie in the big screen

    My Imovie HD has started acting totally weird. First off, it wouldn't show finished movie projects in the large viewing screen. Then there were clips that no longer showed up. Sometimes I can hear the sound of a clip, but not see it. I tried compressing a project in quicktime to publish it on the Web and I got an error. Then the imovie started acting weird. Now when I open it, it just closes on its own.
    I've run disk utility and no problems were found. I also tried Tech Tool. And I couldn't find the plist file for imovie at all to delete it. I've also emptied the cache files. HELP!

    There is probably an app. malfunction. You should have a certified Apple salesman look at it. Other than that, i am not sure what to do.

  • Imovie 11 Won't Export

    So i have made a project on Imovie 11 and it won't export. I have no idea what the problem is but every time I try to export to quicktime its gives me and error and when I try to export to YouTube or as a movie file it won't export comming up with the "heap zone" error. I know that some of you will say "try to lower the resolution" or "split the movie in two" but it is only 5 minutes long, it contains no video only pictures voice overs and music from itunes, and it has some special effects with the picture color (hard light) and the globe effect where it shows the travel from one point to another on a globe.

    The project has 39 video clips.  I removed all the music, transitions & text.  It's only those clips on the timeline.  Some of them have effects added, but I can't see how that would stop it from creating the XML file.   I know that the original effects & transitions won't reflect in the XML file once it's opened in another program... all I want is the video files to show up on the timeline!!  I noticed today that when I view the Project Library, this particular project has 'HD1080' beside it & the others have 'HD780'.  But again, that shouldn't make a difference??!!

  • Is there a way to export my movie even if i don't have the files anymore?
