Canon HG10 - Export Movie Error -2125?

HI,
My workflow is basically, Plug in camera, import the clips from hdd (which takes ages since it converts from AVCHD to Apple lossless and takes up much more space than the original movie) - I drag and edit the clips to make a small movie then choose export video and set the quicktime options to 720p - it sits there quite happily spending hours rendering the movie and promptly quits with an error code, why does iMovie doe this, and is there any way to actually export from iMovie 08 at least HD content? (after all it DID import HD content....)
-M

I have the same error. Tried everything. The project is quite large, so I tried to split it in smaller parts and then sharing to external HD via QT or just export movie with default settings as "large". After ~300 minutes (that is, in fact, 5 hours for just one part) of exporting it says that it could not export the movie due to error -2125. That error number should mean something, shouldn't it? Something to give a clue what is wrong (with me apparently)...
And, no, iMovie 06 will not work either, because it does not support that sony camera.

Canon HG10 :Merging mov files and output on a Mac

Hi,
I'm on MacOSX 10.5.8 and currently working on a little video project.
I must admit my ignorance on the subject is comparable to my grandma asking how to send an email. So please be nice
I have several .mov videos imported from my Canon HG10 at the highest resolution (which according to Quicktime Movie Inspector is 1888x1062 - FPS 29.97).
Now I need to a) merge all of them into one file and b) convert the output onto a much lighter but still good quality format (H.264 mp4?).
I spent a good few hours on iMovie but since I don't need to edit the video it looked like I was pretty much wasting my time.
Could anyone give me a quick 1-2-3 on how to do the above (hopefully there's some "lamers" solution out there)?
Cheers!

Here's Avids answer:
Pro50 codecs only work in Macs, so the original files need to be EXPORTED from FCP with a special codec Avid created for Mac.
So that's that issue solved ... hopefully, let's see after the next export.
But .mov files are still screwed up on my PC.
Kirk - I did reboot the machine in SafeMode, reinstalled QT, but nope - version 7.2. still doesn't play any .mov files properly that are stored on my C-drive that previously were just fine.
Thanks again.

Anyone got any ideas? Thanks!

IMovies 09 (8.0.6): Unable to Export Movie: Error -43

OS: 10.7.2
Imovie 09: 8.0.06
When I go to export a movie using Share --> Export Using Quicktime
A popup comes up and says:
Can't export Movie becasue an erro occured. -43
What is error -43? The error is not very descriptive.
Thanks, Jim

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.

Test / Export Movie Error

CS3 Flash. Just installed. When I go to Test movie or Export
Movie I get this error:
Error creating Flash movie file. ....
Locked drive.
I am running Leopard and unlocked my drive in the "get info"
but it automatically locks it again.
Strangest thing that I have seen.
I can export to an external drive but not my hard drive. I
have no problems with previous versions of Flash.
I can although save the movie to my hard drive.
any ideas?

Go into Publish settings and then to the Flash tab and down
at the bottom make sure that "device sounds" isn't checked. Unless
you are publishing for a mobile phone or something like that, you
don't want that checked.
I think…

Unable to export movie Error code = -2002

I am exporting using quicktime on my MacBook, Movie to MPEG4, options H.264, Data Rate 1700, image size 768x576 SD, frame rate 30, Key Frame Automatic.
iMovie opens a window that says Exporting project, the line shows progress until it gets to the end, then the error comes up.
Any idea what this error is and what is happening?
Thanks

i have the imac 21.5 running on osx.8.4.
i am editing a movie (dur 7:00 with a lot of material).
when i tried to export it a first he would export but in the last second the exported file was missing (searched 1080p ex.. in spotlight and couldnt find it).
and now when i am trying to export it , imovie says : "unexpected error -36"
tried to finalize project - it ended up also in error -36
tried to consolidate media - not responding.
tried to upload via youtube - after 4 hours of waiting it told me that i have network problems (which i didnt).
please imovie experts , i need your help.
what else can i do?

shahar.

Have you tried this?
Go to SETTINGS--> PRIVACY and then PHOTOS; make sure iMovie is set to "on".
Should work then. (Did for me).

Exporting movie errors

Hello
I've seen references to these errors in the forum, but no clear indication as to what the fix is or what caused it.
Export to 1080p I get error -108
Export to 720p I get rror -50
I am able to export to quicktime....
The movie is 1 hour long. My hard disk has 90GB left, should be enough? I have 4 GB of ram, and am running snow leopard with the latest update, dito for imovie 11, all the latest updates.
I want to burn it via idvd, so I'm not sure if exporting the movie to quicktime is the best way? Quality wise? I'm not a video expert.
Does someone have a clear idea what causes these errors? I can't find a definitive error code listing from apple.
If I can't export this movie in 720p, I will cry myself into dehydration.
Thank you all

Update:
I called apple support, and they were very helpful. The jist of it is, in my hour+ long movie, and have many many small clips with many small audio clips as well. This is likely too much for the finalizing process. The solution is to do one of the following:
1. chop the movie up into quarters, and export them mpeg4 with the h.254 codec
- reimport them as events and create a new project with the 4 clips
- finalize them or export them to whatever format you want and need.
This should work just fine. Will give this a go, but running out of time today so will try later on.
Hope this helps someone else.

Export Error -2125

When trying to publish a video that is around 3 hours long and exporting via the Share menu and exporting it as a quicktime file I get the following error. *Unable to prepare project for publishing. The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (-2125)* This is after the hours of it doing things like it is exporting it then at the very end I get this result. Doesn't matter what size I do, it always ends like this. Any thoughts?

Hey AutoBarn,
I faced the same problem while exporting by QuickTime Pro the .mp4 for PS3. I tried to export 30min HD 1920x1080 into .mp4 (H.264/AAC) with bitrate 20000 kbps - firstly from FinalCut Express than directly from QT Pro - all the same - Error 2125. QT Pro estimated the output size about 4,5G and after about 90% of exporting it came to 2125.
I started to play with bitrate: QT succesfully exported the same movie with 10000 kbps (2,15 G of output file) and with 15000 kbps (3,26G).
I have the filling that 4G of output .mp4/H.264/AAC is a problem for QT Pro. I didn’t find the solution, I’m in the way.
By the way - I tried Mpeg Streamclip, Xilisoft Video for the same exporting - they crashed (???!!!)
My best,
TeddyFox

Osstatus error -2125 when exporting in iMovie 11

In imove 11, I'm trying to export using Quicktime. The computer works on the export for hours, but always returns a message of "osstatus error -2125".
I've had no luck figuring out what the code means. Does anyone have any clues here?
Thanks,
Mitch

Hi
OK Error code - 2125 usually indicates that the movie is to large.
It use to pop up when going to iDVD !
iDVD - DO NOT CARE ABOUT Gbs at all. I got movies on 500Mb that do not fit and 50Gb that fits nicely.
iDVD - ONLY CARES ABOUT - Duration. Duration is Movie time + MENU TIME. Choice of
menu and animation of this can take lost of "DURATION" 15 minutes or even more.
Choice of encoding method and use of SL or DL DVDs determine the DVD limit.
iDVD 08 & 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities.
iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST
• Best Performances (movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
DL DVDs can store about double of these times.
ALTERNATIVE - The Error Code can indicate that free space on Start-up (BOOT) hard disk is
less than 25Gb (my minimum)

If you are getting OSStatus error -2125, I've seen this caused by the computer display sleep settings.
Try changing the sleep settings to never and see if you are able to export.

IMovie Export using Quicktime in 1080p gives error OSStatus error -2125

Hi, I am new to using iMovie, started using it few days back. So far i have been unable to "Export using Quicktime" in 1920*1080p option.
I was able to export using "Export to Quicktime" in 640*480p (.mp4 format) option and was able to use "Export Movie" with 1920*1080p (.mov format) option.
Trying to export using "Export using Quicktime" in 1080p always failed so far. I tried at least a dozen times with different settings. Initially i was getting the following two errors randomly, but later, the last 4-5 trials i keep getting only the first error.
1. OSStatus error - 2125
2. Not enough room in the heap zone.
Project details are - it is a 34 min. video and size came to 5.3GB when exported using "Export Movie" (.mov format) using 1080p option.
It indicates 2 hours to export it, takes 2 hours and interestingly, the OSStats error - 2125 error happens at the end of the export. I can see in the finder the increasing size of the file the process is creating. It has been a really frustrating experience with iMovie so far. I even tried duplicating the project with a different name and tried export, did not help.
I have >300GB of free space on my hard drive and 8 GB of RAM. I don't have any heavy applications running on the system.
I read forums about this error and tried the following so far with no help.
1. Tried changing names of the iMovie project few times to see if that helps.
2. Set the sleep settings of the computer as well as monitor to Never.
3. Reached out to apple support about it and they suggested me to setthe sleep settings to never and then try. But that did not help.
I am stuck with this error OSStatus error - 2125.
The settings I am trying with are:
Export to MPEG-4
H.264 video format
20Mbps bit rate
30 fps
One question is, once I exported a project in one format or setting, do I have to create a new project to export it in different settings or I can just use the same project?
Can someone please help? Any help about this is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I am having the same issue. Have been searchin gfor 3 days for an answer. I am able to export as MOV file, but not MP4. I bought QT Pro 7 to convert THE MOV to MP4 and it doesnt work either. I then bought iskysoft Video Converter and it wont convert the MOV to MP4 either. (will convert smaller files)
I have 700 GB of free space on drive. I have tried a movie that is 3 hours, one that is one hour, and one that is 54 minutes..All same thing.. Error -2125. Although it will work with smaller movies under 30 mins.
Surely there has to be an answer to this? It seems it has been an ongoing issue for quite some time, yet there is no solution.

This error occurs when there is corrupt or invalid media in your timeline. Check that the codec used by the file is recommended for use in your editing application.
good luck

[Error 333] Cannot export movie at all

Hi All,
I have created a new movie using iMovie 8.5 (latest version included in iLife 09).
Unfortunately, when I try to export my first project, after few minutes of processing (the blu progress bar fully completes the process) it gives me an error saying that is Imposssible to export the movie, error 333.
I have not registered yet my iLife, could be that one the reason or could be something else?
To me is so weird, if was the registration it should have been said before..
Thanks a lot
Daniel

Hello,
Are you having a similar problem as this?:
CIRCUMSTANCES:
I have the most recent version of OSX and of FCPX and yet I cannot export or "Share" my timeline's Project.
I have the simplest project (a sequence of small video clips with no effects at all) and the program does not let me "share" anything.
I have been using FCPX since the first week it came out; it's not like I'm completely lost (I have already done many jobs).
DOUBT:
WHY ARE ALL THE SHARE* OPTIONS INACTIVE?
*Either selecting the Project from the browser or clicking directly on the Timeline, the Share options I'm referring to are found on File > Share > ....
ANSWER:
If your Sequence contains one single Clip which was not well imported from the camera, FCPX will not let you "Share" (Export) the Project at all (The timeline's sequence). FCPX is probably wanting to alert you by means of a yellow triangle on the Event's icon, right at the corresponding missbehaving Event. Click on that Event, scroll down through all your clips on the Browser and you will most probably find a clip with the same yellow triangle with exclamation mark.
In order to detect the wrong clip (or clips) on the timeline, you shall click on the timeline you are not able to export (that is, to "Share") and, once you have clicked on the timeline itself, open your "Timeline Index" ( which shortcut is: shift cmd 2 ).
Once in the Timeline Index, click on "Clips" (upper left, under the small search window) and also click on Video (at the bottom of the whole Timeline Index box).
Now you have the whole list of all your clips which are used in the Timeline. Scroll down until you find all the marked clips (they are all marked with the same yellow triangle with an exclamation mark). Eliminate them from either the Timeline Index or directly from the timeline if you want to export anything.
I hope this was helpful to anyone with erroneously imported clips or any misbehaving imported media.

How do I export from IMovie when "not enough room in Heap Zone" error code appears? How can I correct, what to Do.."export movie" insteand of Media browser or IDVD? Finalize movie? I want to burn it to DVD!

How do I export from IMovie to Wondershare Creator to Make DVD and share hour long movie when I am unable to "publish" movie on Media Browser of IDVD because the error code "not enough room in heap Zone/ " appears and function is aborted.
I shortened the movie, that is no cure...Correcting date info on clips does not pertain. Why would Apple throw roadblocks in your way without solving problems they create?
A techie made an appointment on the phone and was totally incapable of addressing the problem.
What is a heap zone????

Instead of Share to Media Browser, what happens if you try Share Menu > Export Movie... (choose Large size) and save it to the Desktop?
If that fails try Share Menu > Export using QuickTime...
Then pick Movie to QuickTime Movie, then click on Options... which is just to the right of Export
Under the Video section click on Settings...
Then in the pulldown menu at the top, titled Compression Type: Choose Apple Intermediate Codec. Then click OK. And click OK again, and save it to the desktop. Once the .mov file is created, you can import that into iDVD and most likely it will work in Wondershare Creator if you prefer to use that instead.
