Cannot export video clips.  Get message: "unable to create video for export"

Cannot export video clips from iPhoto to Finder folder.  Export fails with message "unable to create video for export: "
The video clips play correctly within iPhoto. 
Software: iPhoto version 9.5 on OSX 10.9
Hardware: Retina Macbook Pro 2.3 i7 8GB

Yes.  I have 3,184 video clips in this library.  I tested Reveal function by randomly selecting individual video clips and in every case the Reveal in Finder function worked correctly.  I also tested this on random selections of groups of video clips and, again, the Reveal function worked correctly in every case. 
Some more info that may be relevant:
I have multiple iPhoto libraries.  My "main" library is very large (~30,000 files) and is located on an external hard drive (2TB WD) which is connected via USB.
The problem reported here is occuring on that "main" library.  I have not opened any other iPhoto library since installing the new release. 
While the File>Export function does not work, I have been able to simply copy and paste video clips from iPhoto library to a folder on Mac hard drive.  It appears that meta data is copying correctly along with the video content. 
I am able to import these copied video clips to iMovie.  Meta data is imported along with the video content and I'm able to perform iMovie editing functions on those clips without any problems.
In summary, the File>Export function still fails with the message "unable to create video for export."  Copying video clips and pasting them to interim folder seems to be a viable workaround enabling me to extract video clips from iPhoto for import to iMovie.  I will run additional tests to see if I can find a pattern to the video files that are being rejected by iPhoto Export function.

  • In iPhoto I get "unable to render file for export" when trying to export a file to an SD card?

    I have been trying to save jpg files to an SD card.  When I export from iPhoto is says "unable to render file for export".  It will let me export to the desktop.  Then when I try to copy or move to the SD card, it says the SD card does not have enought free space.  It's a 1 gig card and the files are under 100k.  I have tried different SD cards, formating the cards with the camera.  The card has 200 filles (57mb) when I started and wanted to add more.  I have ereased the card trying to see if that would help.  No go!  Any ideas?

    What is the filesystem on that card?
    i assume, you made sure that the little white lock mechanism at the side of the card is unlocked?
    Try, if you can set the "Ignore ownership on this volume" flag for the card in the "Get Info" panel for the card.

  • Getting error Unable to create a new Message Layout: 500 attempts failed.

    Dear All,
    I am trying to add Form Value item to the Message Component Layout region through personalization.
    I am getting error Unable to create a new Message Layout: 500 attempts failed.
    While I am able to add Message Text Input, Message Lov Input items without any issue.
    Same issue will appear if I add stack layout region.
    The requirement is to add two hidden field to a Oracle supplied Message Component Layout Region( Page /oracle/apps/pa/finplan/webui/UpdateForecastLinePG

    Please help me any work around or solution.
    Regards

    Hi Sun,
    Thanks for reply.
    I am just trying to add Form Value item not the Message Layout Bean.
    Jdeveloper is allowing to add the messageLayout bean to messageComponentLayout (I have just tested it). It means OA Framework is facilitating it, it is the personalization Framework which may have restriction.

  • Unable to create "filename" when exporting to SD disk from iphoto 7.1

    I recently upgraded from iphoto 4 to 7. I did do because when I tried to export to a SD disk, I kept getting the unable to create message on various photos. I did the upgrade to 7 and I am still seeing this error message. Has anyone else run across this one?

    George:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try exporting to a folder on the Desktop and then copy the folder to the SD memory card. Also make sure there are no unusual/unsupported characters in the file names, i.e. anything other than 0-9, a-z, _, -. The format of the memory cards, PC based, does not accept those unusual characters. If there are a lot of special characters in the file names, you can batch change the title of the files with the Photos->Batch Change menu option. Then select the option during export to use the title as the new file name.
    Happy Holidays
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Text Message: Unable to execute file for security ...

    Whenever I'm viewing a text message, when I try to open up the "Options" menu, I see the above message, "Text Message: Unable to execute file for security reasons". This doesn't seem to impact the functionality of the menu at all, everything seems to work.
    Anyone ever come across this before?
    I've updated the phone (Nokia E66) to the latest software, and I've only got one application installed other than the default base install (Google calendar sync utility), removing that doesn't change the problem.
    Thanks in advance!

    Your MacBook Air is an Intel-based system. To download the current version (11.2.202.228),  go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and download it from there.
    If there is still a Flash issue, you can try the Google Chrome browser, which has the current Flash built into it, to see if it works any differently with the videos. It's available from https://www.google.com/chrome

  • All CX traffic dropped on data plane with error message 'Unable to create policy params (policy-params-failed)

    Problems with CX dropping all traffic - error message: Unable to create policy params (policy-params-failed) seen when issuing cli cmd show opdata framedrop on CX.
    Data hits ASA Service Policy and is redirected to CX, but no traffic is passed (user experience is timeout in browser).
    Problem started after SW upgrade - present running versions:

    Any suggestions?

    If i am using 11G andrtp is 11g but on rtp side if they configure SSL, is it mandatory to do it from our side also?No it not mandatory to enable SSL at your end however you have to configure identity and trsut at your end.
    Any update on my regular question(The main forum question)?You mentioned that you are posting message from 10g to 11g and as per log you are sending it to URL - https://dev-nog.server:443/b2b/transportServlet
    So few things which I see as a problem are-
    1. You should use URL https://hostname:soa_server_ssl_port/b2b/httpReceiver instead of https://dev-nog.server:443/b2b/transportServlet
    2. SOA server SSL port should be enabled (SSL should be enabled on SOA server)
    3. You should configure wallet at 10g side to contain trust cert of 11g server

  • 2960X 15.02(EX5) %AAA-3-ACCT_LOW_MEM_UID_FAIL:AAA unable to create UID for incoming calls due to insufficient processor memory.

    Deployed four 2960X switches in a stack.  All okay for about one month then tried to web browse for the first time via firefox which partially displayed the page.  I assumed this was a browser error.  So tried Chrome then IE which both failed.  Chrome was a bad display and IE fails to connect.
    After this, I could not telnet or ssh.  Plugged into the console and immediately started receiving:
    %AAA-3-ACCT_LOW_MEM_UID_FAIL: AAA unable to create UID for incoming calls due to insufficient processor memory
    %% Low on memory; try again later
    I am unable to log in.  I have a TAC case logged but the first step to try is a reboot which will be difficult until I can get a maintenance window.  When I do get a maintenance window, I would also like to deploy a fix such as a different version of code or a work-around cofig command.  I don't mind disabling HTTP.
    Any suggestions?

    I am currently working with TAC
    The switches failed about 18 hours later and had to be rebooted to get back up.  Now that I have console/telnet access, I can see the memory being depleted mostly by the Auth Manager process at about the same rate as free memory is dropping.

  • When I go to download my iMovie to iTunes I get the following message "Unable to prepare project for publishing.  That project could not be prepared for publishing because a error occurred"(disk full).  What do I need to do?

    When I go to share my Imovie to Itunes after a couple of hours I get the following message.  "Unable to prepare project for publishing.  That project could not be prepared for publishing because a error occurred(disk full)".  What does this mean and how do I fix it?

    This is the forum for iOS (iPhones and iPads),
    I have refered it to get moved to the correct forum.
    But my guess is that you have to clear space on your harddrive.
    The video gets rendered when you out put it, so you will need lots of space to do so.

  • Export fails w/ message "Unable to create pathToSpecifiedExportFolder "

    Trying to export the iPhoto library to a folder on the local Macintosh drive, preparatory to burning a DVD from that folder. After specifying file type jpeg, Full Size, use Filename, use Exension, and clicking Export, the process fails with error message "Exporting... Unable to create Users/gliderguider/Pictures/PhotoBkup2007" or whatever the specified path was.
    I've tried opening up permissions on all elements of the path specified to 777. What am I doing wrong?
    BTW, I understand there is an easier way to back up the library to DVD, this was intendended to produce a DVD for wife to use on her Dell Wintel machine. I hope I can get this to work and preserve the marital peace

    Is it a common experience to follow the OS X Help articles' instructions explicitly and have the process described fail?
    Not in my experience. Though I will pop in the caveat: when it has gone wrong for me, the problem is usually me not quite following the instructions as explicitly as I first thought. But then I have the same problem assembling kits etc. Sometimes there are issues with terminology too.
    As I alluded in the original post, I used the "Get Info" dialog to recursively change permissions for owner, group, and all to RW, for the path to the target directory. Is there a bug in "Get Info" that prevents this from working?
    None that I know of, but it's fairly easy to make a mistake doing it with the Get Info window, that's all.
    What is the "unlock" parameter and how does this differ from permissions?
    This is a hold over from OS 9 days, it simply means that you can use the Get Info window to lock a file - make it uneditable. I'm not sure how it differs from permissions, but it does.
    How did you get the screen shot of BatChmod?
    Well, first off, it's not mine but Old Toad's. He's the senior (though youthful!) poster round here. Have a look at the Help - when you use the Help on any app it along the menu bar is the Library listing. Go to Mac Help and type in Screen Shot.

    What router are you using? make/model/version
    What security type are you using? If it is WEP then symbolic (non hex) keys may be converted to hex in different ways by different operating systems. Is your laptop a Windows PC?
    If you are using WEP then drop it and move to WPA2. WEP has been deprecated by the WiFi alliance since 2004 as insecure (it can be hacked in seconds).

  • I cannot recal pages files get message " Lost xmi file any help me please

    I cannot recall pages files and get message "Lost xmi files any ideas please

    First thing is cease all activity on the computer and usb
    drive that the files were on that your trying to recover. Next use
    a friends PC or get access to the internet and obtain a file
    recovery program such as LSoft they have a nice program called
    Active@ File Recovery Professional that even recovers a lost
    partition and formatted hard drives and usb thumb drives.
    The key is to cease any more activity from the time of
    discovery of the lost file to have the best chances at recovering,
    overwritten, lost and acidentally deleted files. I have used it
    recover a relatives overwritten photos from a digital camera only
    two photos out of 47 were not recovered and this was probably
    because of the computer being used three days even after he
    overwrote the photos with similar file names within the same
    directory.
    I recommend the Professional version for the price to others
    that are out there and because this version recovers lost
    partitions.
    http://www.file-recovery.net/
    The standard is $29.95 professional is $44.95 and is has great
    ratings on www.download.com search for it there.
