Can't export movie

I am trying to export a sequence using Export using Quicktime Conversion. I have done this before and it has worked fine. Now I get an error message every time saying "Codec error". What is wrong? How do I export my movie?
Help!
Thanks,
Marty

What format is the sequence you're working in? What format is your media? Is everything rendered before you export?

Can't export .MOV in AE cc render queue, But I can Export .MOV using Media Encoder cc

I get “[file path and name].mov”. An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted. (-1610153464) when trying to export .mov using AE cc render queue but works fine in media Encoder cc. My problem is that i need to export animation with alpfa channel for a client and cannot find an alpha channel option in media encoder.
Please help

To export with an alpha channel in Adobe Media Encoder, choose "32 bit" from the Depth menu under the Video tab in the export settings. (That refers to 32 bits per pixel: 8 each for R, G, B, and A.) Of course, that option is only available if the codec can include an alpha channel, such as with the Animation codec in a QuickTime container.

Imovie 11 Can't Export Movies NOT ENOUGH ROOM IN THE HEAP ZONE!

I have plenty of space on my hard drive, no other programs are running, and the video being exported is only 6 minutes and 57 seconds long.
I am working on a short film and 90% of the time that I try and export it in 720 I get an error, because there is not enough room in the heap zone. Then after I restart the computer if I am lucky I can get it to export 1 out of 10 trys. It has nothing to do with the title I give the video.
I need the video exported in 1080, but it gives me the same error EVERY TIME! Even when I export to quicktime and use various settings I keep getting the same heap zone error. What is the deal!?! I have exported an hour long documentary and didn't have this problem. I erased all my previous projects and events and still I get this error
UNABLE TO EXPORT MOVIE
The movie could not be exported because an error occurred. (Not enough room in the heap zone /)
HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!

I have the same problem when trying to export a 720P movie to iTunes. Reboot did not help nor did renaming the project. I have an older MacPro with dual 3.0s, 11 Gb Ram and slightly less than 1Tb free space on the boot drive. This is a software issue, not a hardware problem. Apple please fix the myriad of problems with iMovie 11. My productivity has ground to a halt with my 4 month old iLife Software. How did this software ever pass muster!!!!! I can't believe anyone would purchase the new version of Final Cut given the horrible product you've included with the last iLife Set. This is an example of why I left the Microsoft Windows community. SHAME ON YOU!!!!!! I usually create 4 to 5 movies a month for the flying community I live in. I have completed one since January, and it was a mess due to software glitches. My attempt to re-render an old iMovie 9 creation has been met with failure. I have projects backing up and really have no desire to finish them or create others as iMovie 11 is no longer fun since it is broken. I'm tired of iPhoto 11 and iMovie crashing or not working and the reason for spending more on an Apple product no longer exists. Outdated expensive hardware and buggy software. Time to sell my APPL stock like Bob Mansfield, You're ignoring your core supporters and are living off the hype of the iPhone/iPad. The poor economy has allowed your "halo effect" to endure many recent short-comings - (Mobile Me (how slow and expensive can it be to stream a personal home movie - but don't worry you don't need Blu-Ray)), Mail (why do I keep getting duplicate emails in my drafts folder? and why is it always losing my password - just like Mail on my iPhone), Never providing a stable video card for 2006 Mac Pros, Crippled iPhone 4 for Verizon, no iPad Flash support, iLife Crapware)............where's the Tylenol!!!!! I need it since I promised an iMovie project for a friend's memorial that I am now unable to deliver.

HT4589 FCPX crash...can't export movie

After installing Mavericks i can't export video on FCPX...I'm waiting for an updating, some people have the same problem..What can i do??

I have the most up to date version of FCPX, when I attempt to export to youtube it says my channel doesn't exist when the username/pass is correct and the email/pass is correct OR when I attempt to save a master file a .mov file is created that is unplayable by quicktime or any other video player.

How can I export movies containing Panasonic LX-5 AVCHD clips?

When I use AVCHD video clips that I've imported into iMovie in a project from my Panasonic Lumix LX-5, I can't export that project. I get this error message: "Unable to prepare project for publishing. The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (-50)"
Anybody else had this problem using AVCHD video recorded with the LX-5 or any other camera?

Save the clips as Quicktime files (full quality), then you can import them into later versions of iMovie. An iMovie 6 project would not be compatible with recent versions of iMovie.

Can't Export Movie - Unknown Compile Error - Help!

I edited a 32 minute movie in Premiere Elements 10, and now I'm trying to export it. At some point during the export, and it seems to vary, I get an unknown compile error. I've been trying to export the movie for the past week and all I get is failure despite trying just about everything I've found written about how to solve this.
I have Win 7 Ultimate SP 1 running on a Lenovo desktop machine with an Intel Core 2 Quad CPU at 2.67 GHz, 4GB of RAM, 32 bit proc.
Premiere is installed on system C drive with 6 GB of free space.
Project and scrach disks are on D drive with 165 GB of free space.
Media files are on 2nd E drive with 50GB of free space.
Project and most source material is NTSC DV -- there are quite a few photos with motion, plus some iPhone HD video on the timeline, hundreds of clips in all plus narration, a few titles, etc.
Export destination folder is on D drive.
Everything will render to green lines atop timeline (sometimes it quits during render and I have to keep hitting Enter to continue rendering, but eventually it's all green)
So far I've tried:
- Reinstalling PE 10
- Reinstalling Quicktime
- Copying all the photos to their own separate folder
- Editing each photo slightly (outside of PE 10) and resaving to make sure none of the photos are corrupted
- Emptying the temp folder
- Deleting all the renders and cache files and letting them rebuild
- Exporting small pieces of the timeline to try to identify a bad clip -- this is a maddening process and I did find one clip that would generate the error, but I managed to export that to AVI and reimport and replace on timeline. It would be awfully nice if PE would just TELL ME which clip it doesn't like if in fact it's a clip error.
- Turning off the shadow / highlight feature I had on some clips, but this wasn't the issue, smaller sections with these clips exported fine
- Tried exporting to various formats: Vimeo SD, MPEG DV Standard, iPad Standard High Quality, AVI -- all result in the same error (the format I want by the way is Vimeo SD)
- Rebooting the machine and turning everything off that might possibly consume memory
This machine has never had problems exporting in the past. One thing I did try that worked -- installed PE 10 on another (less capable) Win 7 machine, and fed it all the media via an external drive. The other machine did the export fine (though it took a while given it is underpowered). This is nothing more than a work around though as I don't normally have access to this machine and I'm not done editing.
I'm at my wits' end! What else can I do to get this movie file to export?
Appreciate any help or clues you can provide to solve this mystery.

Oh, that is tragic!
I never had any issues with mine. Maybe it knew how respectful I was, having come from manual rewinds and a sync block? The Moviola was a godsend, at least for me. I am glad that I got to edit film, and on many setups, as some of that translated well to digital Video. Back when I was in film school, Video was 2" tape, and the only editing was by cutting at a 45 degree angle, and splicing the tape. There was not even deck-to-deck editing, way back then. Also, Video looked like crap, at least to my eyes. We could only use a switcher, to "edit," or do a feed to air. Looked like crap!
As for the Lexus, I can imagine all sorts of problems. My new LX-570 requires me to "Accept," when I put it into reverse, on the rear-view monitor! At least my wife's MB does not require that, but it is a 2011 model, so maybe the 2013 models will require that the user sign off on all sorts of "stuff."
Now, I can play Finding Nemo, for my rear-seat passengers, while driving, but the front-seat passengers cannot see it, which is just fine. When driving, I am not even a fan of hands-free calls, and declined most of the streaming stock quotes, etc. for XM/Sirius radio. NOT while I am driving. I will save that for reading the WSJ in the club at the airport.
Some years ago, our driver in London got a new BMW 7-series, and it allowed the playing of DVD's, even in the front, while driving. Not sure that I would want that, but such is life. At least his seats' ventilation system was "well-chilled," where ours' are just air. He almost froze my bum, showing off his new auto.
Now, working with PS, or PrE in an auto, or even on a mobile device, is just not something that I can wrap my old head around. I want a fast computer, with a big display, and cannot imagine editing Images, or Video, on any handheld (or auto) device.

Can't export .mov files in FCP3

When I go so export a sequence it does it really quick and when I click on the exported file on the desktop it's the correct length but it's just white with no audio. Any help would be great.

With the canvas highlighted, View>range check>off
When it's off, it gives you the white screen. Are you 100% sure your audio is not turned off?
If I recall correctly, in FCP 3 you can export Final Cut movie and QT movie. And QT movie gives you all the options. If this is indeed the case, carefully check your exporting options for audio.

Can't Export .mov

Hey there,
Has anyone had this problem?? I was able to export from with
in the Flash app to .mov files, then all of a sudden I can't. The
status bar goes all the way to the end, but I don't get the message
saying my file was successfully exported. If I don't click on the
stop button the app crashes.
I also can't find a workaround to create flv's. I've already
tried iSquint and QuickTime.
I'm using CS3 and an intel Mac.
Thanks for any help you can give:

If you right click on the avi in the library and select
Properties, Export, you can make an FLV. At least you can in CS2.
Selecting "Prodressive download from a webserver" when you import
the avi creates a component and the FLV. Is that not working?
Admittedly, I am still using CS2, but I use Riva because it
is faster and easier. There is no loading of the video. And its
free. Also, if you want to encode large files on the server where
they reside, you dont need a copy of Flash. It doesnt install on
your computer, it runs right out of the folder, and it doesnt bog
down your system. And, you can get someone else to do it...
I'm kinda new too, but I answered this because there were no
replies after quite some time. If anything, I bumped it back up so
that someone smarter could have a shot at it. And I was offering a
"workaround" to making an FLV from avi. Is that not what we are
talking about?
If were are, I was always told that the FLV format was
superior, and I agree. Is there a reason that everyone should not
start using it?

Can't export .mov file to FB/You Tube in any format other than Mobile.

I'm exhausted. I feel like I'm either not wired for a Mac or Mac intentionally makes interacting wtih non-Mac applications next to impossible.
I have a 720X1080 .mov file I imported to iMovie and on which I did a bit of cropping/editing work on. When I attempt to export it in mp4 or any other format, the quality is shot. When I attempt to upload it directly onto FB, the only option iMovie gives me is "Mobile" sized, or 480X260.
I just want to get this video out of iMovie and either into a format that is more universal or uploaded in a size that can be viewed without giving people a squint headache.
This shouldn't be that hard. But it is. Please help. :-(

Thanks - Walking away for a bit and a new day helped tackle the problem with a renewed energy. :-)
That actually exactly what I'm doing... but when I hit "Export" or "Share" (or anything, for that matter) all options *except* mobile are greyed out/disabled. When I check the specs on the origina video, it's a 720X1080 (taken on an iPhone4), and yet by the time I get the video into iMovie and edited, somehow I'm only left with the 480X260 option. All other options I can see, but aren't available for my video clip.
Thanks so much for helping me try and get this figured out.

I have my souce movies stored on an external 500gb drive, with 35gb free. The drive in the laptop has 30gb free.
I was able to get imovie to use the external hard drive to store the movies by creating a symlink from $HOME/Movies to /Volumes/Movies.

If you have Qt Pro, you can open the file and turn on a controller, then resave the file.

How can I export a comp or pre-comp to another AE project without having to rebuild or make a movie?

Can I export an AE comp or pre-comp to another AE project without having to rebuild or make a movie? In regard to tweaks or timing changes based on that projects' needs.

First, save the project in a different name. Delete out the comps & precomps you neither want nor need. Run AE's reduce project command to remove any unused footage, then save it again. Now you have a simplified project, which you can then import into any AE project you want.
If you like things nice & tidy, don't forget to use the replace layer (Alt-drag, Opt-drag) trick on any duplicated footage, using the footage from the project into which you import the simplified project. The alternative: just leave all the footage alone, and know you can't delete it.

Can't export form to fillable PDF or move to online!

I have been messing with Forms Central for the past two hours trying to get my form to export. After reading I assumed it was due to not having a paid version so I just subscribed for the Basic plan and I still can not export anything. The error message I am recieving is the most unhelpful error, "Acrobat.com encountered an unexpected error."
This occurs when I try to export as a PDF or when I try to move it online. I have tried running in Admin mode, updating flash but I am still having no luck! Please help.
EDIT: UGHH my email is my screen name.. Is it possible to change that as well? I don't want a flood of spam heading my way.

In that case I will need more information from you.
What is the version of your desktop version of FormsCentral?
Did you download FormsCentral or you are using the one that came with Acrobat?
After you signed in, did you get an update message? When did you do your last update?
If it is possible, would you mind give me your email address by sending a message to [email protected]?
Thanks
Ken

Help! Can't export the movie I've edited :(

There's no share menu button in my FCP X - also when i push the "export movie" button nothing happens, no pop up, nothing.
When I try to publish it on You Tube, this message showed up "compressionkit error or domain error." What to do?
I even ended up buying the Compressor, but it claimed I needed to update to a final cut pro that costed about 320 dollars. I'm pretty sure i have a new version. Anyhow, I'm really stressing out because I need to publish it on monday, so I'm hoping someone here can help me...

Thanks! I ended up downloading a trial version av fcp that helped me save the project so that I can post it in time! A short term solution though, but guess I'll have to consider and update for a more longterm solution
