Imovie won't let me "export as quicktime". It is only for one specific project, all others work fine

When I choose the option "export using quicktime", it starts the export and then just stops - no error message. It works for all my other projects, but not this specific one - any ideas what could be wrong? Fairly desperate as I am supposed to show this tomorrow!

IMovie Won't Let Me Export?

Hello!
My iMovie won't let me export in HD (1080p or 720p), which has proved to be very frustrating.
It first starts exporting:
but then after a few minutes, a message comes up:
What do I do? I've spent ages on this video, and it's really irritating, for me to start it all over again! I've updated all of my software, checked the App store for updates for iMovie, but there's nothing! What do I do???? GAH!!
Please help! Thanks in advance! Thank you!

I have the same problem and then some. I movie won't share this particular project, but it also won't save any changes made to it or any other project. At least that's what it started doing, now when I go to even try to make any changes it wigs out and things get scrambled in the Project window and it plays video from another project.
When I create a new project, the Share menu is available, but it won't save changes to that project either. And by that I mean I can put stuff in the project and do whatever, but as soon as I quit and relaunch the application, the project is empty. I did figure out that if I make changes in a new project and immediately share it to the media browser that it will save the changes, but then it messes up my other project even more somehow!
Tried archive and install, deleting plists, reinstalling iMovie and iLife support stuff (twice), repairing permissions, and changing permissions in the project package. Any other ideas?

IMovie won't let me export in HD

I imported an MP4 into iMovie, set the project preference to 16:9 and it still won't let me export the movie in anything but the "tiny and mobile" options. The "medium, large and HD" options are greyed out.
What could be the problem? thanks

After hours of searching through forums I have found the solution to our problem.
iPhone 4s video is automatically shot in HD. There is no way to turn this off.
In iMovie Version 9.0.4 iLife '11 you can set your project properties (File>Project Properties) to either either 16:9 widescreen or 4:3 standard.
Now HD is specifically widescreen and you can not create HD video in a 4:3 screen ratio. This is what my project was set to after spending over 16 hours working.
Once I change the ratio I was able to share and export my project in 720P and 1080P HD
You will have to tweak your project a little as when I went from 4:3 to 16:9 it cropped some of my video weird.
I hope this helped you as I am thoroughly relieved to have figured this out and slightly proud that I did it on my own.

IMovie won't let me export iPhone 4s videos in HD

I have imported a video file from iPhone 4S to imovie. I can edit it in iMovie but when I try to export it won't let me do it in HD. It keeps creating a m4v file. Help.

HT204088 I did not receive a order number for the ringtone(I won't let go), I was charged 3.00's for one ringtone. The charges appear on my debit card for it.

I purchased a ringtone I won't let go and was charged 3 times but no ringtone. I did not get a order number either as I did not get it sent to my iPhone number.

A member of my family previously downloaded the free trial and now that i need it, it won't let me download it. what can i do for free to get this to work?

How can i get a free trial? it's previously been downloaded, not for my use but now it wont let me have it and i need it for college. Help?

gbraye,
Is a single month student subscription an option, or using another computer?
The failure to download is owing to the facts that you can only have a trial once, and the Adobe system is based on identifying through the computer.

IMovie isn't autosaving my events/movies and won't let me export the file. How can I ensure my projects aren't deleted if I can't manually save?

I created a movie w/ no theme and added my raw footage to it. I edited and was ready to export but wouldn't let me share the file. When I tried to export to a file, in the "Theater" view the progress bar stayed empty and there were no files created in the target folder.
I closed iMovie (since it should auto-save my work) to try again and when I re-opened iMovie (took a couple tries, as it froze the first time I opened it) there was no movie. No trace of any of the work I had done, other than the raw imported footage.
Two questions:
1) Why isn't iMovie autosaving the movie?
2) Why wasn't I able to export it?

What exactly is the error you get?
How are you attempting this copy?
There's almost certainly a way to accomplish what you want to do (probably best from the terminal possibly copying the entire user dir and fixing up permissions, etc.) but I'm not sure you will end up with the results you want. There are plists in the preferences dir that you probably don't want to copy over (e.g., many of the com.apple.* prefererences). And many apps also create more than just plists. There may be stuff in Application Support, LaunchAgents, Internet Plug-Ins, etc.). And this would be stuff you do want to copy. Bottom line is it is not a trivial exercise which is probably why the system is slapping your hands for even attempting it

IMovie won't let me export my video HELP PLEASE QUICK

So I have the iPad 3, 64gb Wifi + Cellular and I have iMovie on my iPad. So I've made a 30 second video, with no music and I clicked to export it on my camera roll and it's said "An Error Occurred During Export" or something along the lines,and so I tried doing that with the other options, Facebook, Vimeo, YouTube and all said they could not export. All the footage was taken on my iPad and its not working. I then downloaded another app and it did the same thing. I'm so frustrated. Yes I have gone through my privacy settings and turned on iMovie it was already on. Yes I have done everything everyone else has done, but this is not working. can someone please help me !!!!.

Hello RamoziummOxide,
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. I would also be concerned if I could not export my project I made in iMovie. You have done several good troubleshooting steps. At this point, I would troubleshoot the iMovie app in general:
iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702
There are a couple of things to keep in mind regarding that article. Step 4 guides in you restarting the application, but I would quit any open application at that point. Also step 6 states to reinstall the application, but before you do that, you will want to backup the content of iMovie to iTunes before you do that because your movie will be deleted if you delete the application. I would skip this step if you are not able to export to iTunes. You can find steps to export your movie to iTunes here:

I hope this helps! I know how much time and work goes into iMovie projects.
Best,

Imovie won't let me export anywhere "share failure"- ever since the latest update-- help!

I get "video rendering error -50" Any suggestions?

Do all your projects have this error or only one? Does the error occur for all share options?

IDVD5 won't import specific iMovie into project. (Others work fine)

I'm utterly baffled. Over the course of a year I made six short iMovie films composed of a mixture of stills and video set to music. Each time I successfully used iDVD to burn DVDs for grandparents.
I'm now trying to create an omnibus edition with all six films in. I've successfully created a menu using one of the templates and can drag most of the films from finder to iDVD. But one of them just won't import. It still plays fine in iMovie, with no stray files or corruption that I can see. All settings (permissions etc) seem to be identical to the other five movies, but when I drag it across I don't get the green "+" sign indicating that I can drop it onto the menu.
I've eny tried re-importing it from a previously burned DVD using MactheRipper, converting it back to DV format using Streamclip and using that file in iMovie. Same result.
If anyone has any suggestion I'd be most grateful.
I'm using iDVD 5 and iMovie HD.

Hi Bengt,
Thanks for the questions.
a. Plenty. I forget exactly how much, but I had run out once, which caused other problems, so bought an additional HD and moved everything onto that leaving my boot drive as lean as possible.
b. Each is less than 10 minutes, so total duration well under an hour. In any case it's not when I go to add the last one that the problem occurs. And I tried a new iDVD project containing only the problematic movie and it wouldn't work even on its own.
Menu is a single opening with one link to each movie.
c. Can't think that there's any odd formats involved, as all the movies were built up in the same way: photos from iPhoto, film clips imported from DV camera directly into iMovie. Sound track is made up of MP3s, butthen so have all the others AND I've successfully used this movie in iDVD in the past.

During setup sync tells me my email address is already in use and won't let me go any further. I only have one email and don't want to setup another. How do I setup sync?

I can log into the sync account management with this URL https://account.services.mozilla.com and nothing is listed. When I go to the Sync tab within the preferences window, only two options are listed: Setup a New Account and or Pair a Device. Setting up an account doesn't allow me to use the email address I would like to, saying the email is already in use. I can't "pair a device" because the computer I'm trying to "pair" is my main computer (laptop). I used sync way back when it first came out and it seems as though there are new requirements (legal and otherwise) requiring me to setup a new account. How do I setup and use sync with the email address I have in place already without having to use another email address?

There was a major change in Sync services back in Dec 2010, but nothing w9th regards to the Username / email address and Password since that time.
Use this to reset your Sync Password if you can't remember it, for an existing account. <br />

What ever you may have stored on the Sync Server will be erased so you will be starting with with new data in the system.

IPad calendar won't open march 2013 in month view; just this one specific issue, everything else works fine. I've reset to factory but it still happens.

Hmm.....
New iPad, not been fiddled with in any way. When I use calendar, everything is fine except when I try to view march 2013 in month view, whether by switching to "month" from a march day view, or by moving from another month already in month view.
The application just closes down. No issues with data loss. No issues with same calendar data on my mac or iPhone.
I've reset to factory setting and restored but it persists.
Any thoughts? Thanks, Andrew.

The workaround for this is to remove any all day events from April 1 or change from all day to something other than all day event.
The update to iOS 6.1 is supposed to have fixed the bug according to some of those that have posted today.

"Edit in" Ps '14 won't launch for one Lr Catalog; the rest work fine

I've had multiple bugs and issues since the Ps CC 2014 "update." I've already uninstalled and reinstalled several times to try and fix other issues among other solutions. The last update helped but one issue I continue to have is a recent catalog I created will not open photo's in CC '14. I also already uninstalled and reinstalled 5.5. I had hoped the 5.6 update would fix it, but no go. I also tried the "hotfix" of downloading the scripts .zip file and doing it manually, but still nothing. My external editor is set to CC '14 as the default.
Can anyone clue me in on something I may be missing or haven't tried?

I already checked the external editor options as mentioned. What other settings and menus should I look at? I've tried to go through and nothing it standing out to me as the obvious issue. I created the catalog just like I created all my other catalogs as well, no special settings.

Final Cut Pro X won't let me export because I worked from an SD card

Hello,
I made the stupid mistake of editing my project from an SD card and now FCPX won't let me export it. I have since exported the original files onto my hard drive and I attempted to relink the files in the project folder but no luck. The option to relink files opens a dialogue box but the computer can't seem to find the files and the option to manually locate the files is greyed out. This is a time sensitive issue and if I can't solve the problem I will have to stay up all night to complete the project again. The video files are AVCHD, does this have something to do with it? I am not very tech savvy so I have no idea what to do. Help??

TTry the reimport from camera function to import from the card.

Twice the length of a cinema epic?
How are you expecting to distribute it?
iDVD encoding settings:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
Short version:
Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
That was for single-layer DVDs. Double these numbers for dual-layer DVDs.
Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned abo
In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.
