Cant save video "The operation could not be completed" Help!

Ok so i have tried saving a video i captured earlier today. and it keeps failing. I have tried saving it to the desktop, and i have tried exporting it to the desk top. and nothing works. it plays back fine. but i can't save it??? i have no idea what to do. I attached a photo of my continuos end result.

And when i export it gets stuck on the last 5 seconds every time. i even force closed quick time and relaunched it an luckily the temporary video was still there. but won't save regardless. i have searched the forums and can't find a fix. is it safe to restart my iMac and try again? or will i lose the video if i go that far... attached another picture of my additional outcome.

  • I cannot "save" my newly reduced size video after using the "TRIM" feature...I get "The Operation could not be completed". Why?

    I would start with my original AVI file, then hit duplicate to get a duplicate file to work on....I then would use the "TRIM" feature to shorten the video. Then when I hit "close", and it prompted me to name the newly reduced file, and saved it appropriately.So I did this procedure with two of my AVI format videos and it worked flawlessly.
    But I have tried to do this same procedure with a half a dozen more AVI videos and it will not allow me to name the modified file after I have "trimmed it" and save it...when I enter the name for the modified file and hit "close", I get the message "The operation could not be completed".  Why isn't it allowing me to save the files??

  • "the operation could not be completed as there is no video"

    Hi. I've been logging and capturing without incident for weeks now, from my JVC BR-DV3000 deck to final cut 5. Device control still works fine, so i know final cut is recognizing the deck, but all of a sudden when I set it to capture i get an error message that reads: "the operation could not be completed as there is no video". I checked all my connections and settings, refreshed external viewing options, and turned everything off and on again. And I just went back to see if it was the same for tapes I have already captured successfully in the past, and i get the same error message, so I know it's not the tape.
    Has anyone ever gotten this message in his or her log & capture window? Thanks...

    I get it when capturing from my mini DV cam (which is not controllable by FCP). To resolve, I have to click Capture Now a split second after I start the DV tape rolling.

  • "The operation could not be completed" when doing Save for web

    Hi
    I have just installed Photoshop CS5.1 on my new iMac with Mac OS 10.7 (Lion). Everytime I try to do a 'Save for web' I get this error message "The operation could not be completed". After that Photoshop also hangs. I've tried many solutions offered in forums and the like, but nothing helps. I am getting quite desperate...Anybody?

    I found out the following:
    When I write in Terminal:
    sudo chmod -R u+w ~/Library/Preferences
    sudo chmod -R u+rw ~/Library/Application\ Support
    The error message disappears, until I do a restart of the computer. Then the error is back.
    My suspiscion is that the error came up after moving files from my old computer to my new one.
    It happened even before I installed Lion...
    So now I'm thinking of doing a complete new install on Lion, not an upgrade and then install Photoshop again. But I am not really looking forward to this :-(

    Hi
    And without info - it's near to impossibly to help. Try my general troubleshooting note:
    Troubleshooting note
    When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
    iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
    problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
    Creating a new User-Account and log into this
    This forces iMovie to create all pref. and cache files new and error free
    Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
    a Codec is used that doesn't work (even though iMovie and/or iDVD tries to / they fail in the end)
    version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
    preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
    other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext HD or DVD)
    External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
    ( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
    USB-flash-memories - usually do not work
    Net-work connected hard disks - usually do not work (most often not fast enough and WRONGLY FORMATTES as DOS etc)
    iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie. When iMovie starts-up it first look trough this iPhoto library and if faulty it all Halt’s.
    This You do by
    First -  close iPhoto
    Secondly - on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
    Thirdly - now select all five options presented
    THEN - WAIT a long long time (>20 hours are not strange)
    free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
    external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
    GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
    Screen must be set to million-colors
    Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
    Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
    Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
    Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
    In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
    (I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)
    buenrodri wrote
    I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
    Last resort: Trash all of iMovie and re-install it

  • Wi-Fi cannot watch videos message the operation could not be completed

    Cannot watch video using Wi-Fi.  Get a message that the operation could not be completed.  I reset network, reset router, cleared history, closed apps, hard restart.

    Video in an app? Over the net? YouTube? Facebook? In your camera roll? More detail would be helpful.

  • File Save for Web = Error: The operation could not be completed.

    Installed photoshop CS6 trial Version 13.0 on Windows 7 Ultimate running in hyper-v virtual machine.  Created a small image and clicked File Save for Web.  This produced the error dialog "Error: The operation could not be completed."
    I tried the following trouble shooting steps:
    1. deleted the preferences
    2. created a new user
    3. re-installed both the operating system and photoshop
    4. looked for permission issues
    5. monitored procmon.exe to look for unusual errors
    I'm not sure what I'm looking for, but it simply does not work.

    ELEMENTS 12 AND ELEMENTS 13
    Upgraded to 13 Thinking might resolve the issue.
    Was working fine up until we had "Tech" come in the office and "up grade some stuff"
    then all of a sudden i started getting this message, something happened but i don't have a clue what.

  • Save for Web & Devices, The operation could not be completed

    I keep getting this error when I Save for Web & Devices: The operation could not be completed.
    I have saved for the web before for many more complex, larger images without a hitch.
    I am using a psd format with an image that I designed. It is no more complex than others I have done. It is small, just a horizontal navbar about the size of the one on Apple's website.
    I tried exporting it, flattening it, slicing it removing the slices.
    I think it is a problem with the application itself.
    I have tried repairing my permissions, restarting, and holding Cmd, Opt, Control, Shift during PS startup to reset the settings. Any insight would be appreciated.

  • Save for Web - The operation could not be completed. Access is denied.

    Hello everyone! I was hoping it wouldn't have to come to this, but unfortunately, I really need help with my Adobe Photoshop. I run on Windows 32x and my program is Photoshop CS6 (Portable and its 64 bit), which I've had for about a year. Yesterday, I made a GIF and I tried to save it but along came the message saying "The operation could not be completed. Access is denied."
    I reset my preferences (more than once!), restarted my laptop and cleared up a bunch of memory on my hard drive. The mode is set to 8 Bits/Channel and RGB Color. I really have tried to look at every thread I could, but alas I could not find anything. I would really appreciate some help. Here is my system info!
    Any advice would really go a long way to helping me, and I am desperate. Thanks.

    Make sure that you have read write access to the foldler that you're trying to save your file to.  Save for web doesn't save in the same location as where the file resides. It remembers that last location used, and you may not have access to that.

  • Shared videos won't play because the 'operation could not be completed'. Solutions?

    I have recently shared some videos with some friends over iCloud photo share but they will not play because 'the operation could not be completed'. Is there a solution for this other than deleting and starting again?

    mc,
    In your first post you stated:
    I checked permissions and nothing came up wrong.
    Did you accomplish that by using "Repair Disk Permissions" in Disk Utility, or did you actually check the "Ownership & Permissions" of your Desktop Folder using the "Get Info" command in the Finder?
    Click on your Desktop in Macintosh HD>Users>yourusername, and then choose Finder>File>Get Info. Under "Ownership & Permissions," it should say "You can {Read & Write}."
    If that is not selected, then change it to "You can {Read & Write}."
    ;~)

    Supply pertinent information for quicker answers
    The more information you supply about your situation, the better equipped other community members will be to answer. Consider including the following in your question:
    Adobe product and version number
    Operating system and version number
    The full text of any error message(s)
    What you were doing when the problem occurred
    Screenshots of the problem
    Computer hardware, such as CPU; GPU; amount of RAM;
    Windows reliability history Photoshop crash reports etc....
    virtualbox on a linux host. does the virtual PC provide any useful information? There an error in your environment you need to find out what the error is.

  • PS CS5 Save for Web and Devices reports "The operation could not be completed"  ?

    I teach in a lab of 27 computers, 110 students and part of the curriculum is teaching students to "Save for Web and Devices" this year for some strange reason none of my students can access "Save for Web and Devices"  they get the error message "The operation could not be completed-A write permissions error has occured."
    It has stumped our district top network support guru.
    We are running PS CS5 12.0.4
    He tried this posted fix but it did not work
    http://involution.com/2010/06/13/adobe-photoshop-cs5-write-perimissions-error-on-snow-leop ard/
    It worked once last Friday but today it failed, I'm getting very nervous about being able to prepare my students for the ACA exam without this function.
    In a discussion forum they suggested "zipping and deleting" the save for web preferences, I tried that.  Shut down Photoshop reopened it and that did not work.
    I am at a loss.  Seems like a bug.
    Any ideas.
    We are using iMacs running  Mac OS X  10.5.8

    The error message may not simply address the location to where the students will save a single file. The error likely applies to the temporary location where the various optimized versions might be automatically saved as you preview the image as JPG/PNG/GIF. I would wager that you would not see this error when you are logged into one of the students' computers as an admin.

  • "The operation could not be completed" using iMovie 10.0.6

    I'm using the new iMovie 10.0.6 with OS X Yosemite 10.10.
    This is the first time I access to iMovie after upgrade to Yosemite.
    When I try to begin a new movie and after select a theme the following message is shown:
    "The operation could not be completed.
    No other information is available about the problem"
    The technical information obtained from the console is:
    "13/11/14 11:46:50,195 iMovie[702]: -[NSAlert alertWithError:] called with nil NSError. A generic error message will be displayed, but the user deserves better."
    So, I can't use iMovie as I expected...
    Is anybody have this problem ?
    Thanks

    I had the exact same problem, working with apple support I had to uninstall iMovie and all the files connected with it and then download iMovie again.  The problem is you iMovie is not creating the library file it needs to save your work.
    Apple support was great at walking me through which files had to be deleted.
    good luck
