'Disk Full' when exporting movie

Hello,
I am trying to export my iMovie to Quicktime at full quality. I have tried to share selected clips, which iMovie says would be between 26.1 to 35.9 GB. to an external FW drive. I got an error message that the disk is full, but there is 67 GB available. When I try to save it to the computers drive I get the same message, with 59 GB available. The whole movie is HDV and is 71 GB. Any tricks?

I don't believe so, that is why it goes to a approximately 35 GB file from a 71 GB file. I have not found there to be much if any compression when I export to Quicktime at full quality when doing other projects.

    As a guess, try right-clicking on your Event and see if it allows you to Optimize Media. If it does, choose Optimize - Full.
    Your export should now work.

  • When exporting, movie always tries to fade to black toward the end

    when exporting, movie always tries to fade to black toward the end. trying to export just one picture, i realize that when exporting multiple pics to a movie it fades to black at the end, but im just doing one pic. settings are as follows, ken burns effect is being used, settings in slideshow, transition are "none". settings in "adjust" show transition as "none" also. this is my first post so hope that this makes sense. thanks.

    wcminor:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I tried to duplicate your settings and exported to a QT movie. The movie did not fade to black at the end. It does fade when played in iPhoto.
    My settings were:
    In the slideshow window:
    Effect: none
    Default transitiion: none
    In the settings pane:
    KB is checked, transition is none.
    It's the same whether there's music or not.
    Do you Twango?
    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.

  • Error message ''Disk Full' when trying to export with CS6, works fine in 5.5

    I get an error message when I try to export media in Premiere CS6 that I don't have in CS5.5
    I use export media for a AVCHD 60fps sequence with a few photoshop images on top of the main track. In the export settings I choose ''match sequence settings'' which gives me a .mpeg I- frame, 1920 x 1080 P, 60fps, quality 50, and a I tick the ''use maximum render quality'' check box at the bottom.
    It used to work fine but now I get a message: Disk Full where there is 1.5 TB free on the disk?
    I have the exact same sequence made in Premiere Pro CS 5.5 and it exports fine.
    It started to act weird after I used the queue for the first time and it went to the CS6 encoder.
    Since I used that once and it gave me that message for the first time, even when I try to do the same thing directly in Premiere CS6 , I always get the same error message.
    Question 2, is there a place to change the settings from 50 to 100 for the quality of this export profile?
    By the way I can export with other profiles without problems but this setting is the only one that I've seen that lets me keep my 60 frames per second in the export
    process. (Example: I can export this sequence in the H.264, 1920 x 1080, 30fps, high quality preset, using the maximum render quality in CS6)

    Hi Guys,
    Thanks for the input but if you read my message correctly and until the end I already can export to other settings and I want an answer to this problem. There's no logical explanation to why this suddenly wouldn't work with the same sequence that it used to do fine with and that CS 5.5 handles fine.
    As I said earlier this is the only setting that lets me export my sequence with the 60 fps, that I know of, for further and easier manipulation. As my main camera provides me with these 60 fps I'd really like to be able to have them left in that transition phase and, no, I'm not gonna give up until I know, really, what's going on and solve that problem. If this is a bug it needs to be fixed, if not I want to know what's happening.
    Also there's no answer to my question 2: Question 2, is there a place to change the settings from 50 to 100 for the quality of this export profile?
    So for you experts out there the question is still hanging.

  • Problem when exporting movie, video stops after 2 minutes

    I set up a Project containing both images and videos. They were all shot using a digital camera (Canon SD400).
    When I export the 5 minute movie, around 2 minutes the video freezes, but the music (from an mp3 file) keeps playing. At 2 minutes one of the videos start to play and the video has a little yellow button showing on it in the timeline. None of the other videos have this little yellow button, although I am not convinced that this is the one causing the problem. Here is an image of it:
    http://dombovari.com/stuff/imovie.png
    Any ideas why the video playback would stop when I export it? It plays fine in iMovie when I preview the project, but when exporting, the video playback stops.
    Thanks!

    I have this very same problem. All 640x480 clips shot with a Canon SD550. iMovie 5 will play back everything fine in iMovie, but once I export the file using H.264 or MPEG-4, the video stops after about 30 seconds (of the 3 and half minutes of the video). The music still plays, but the video has not exported properly (and it shows in the file size).
    What WILL work is if you export it to web, but I can't use that. I need it exported at its full quality. (Also will not work, by the way.) But, again, it plays in iMovie just fine. I even tried exporting from the timeline file (with the reference media files) in the iMovie file package—but I get the exact same results.
    Quite frustrating considering it works in iMovie just fine. Any other ideas, folks?

  • Why does iTunes create disk errors when deleting movie files?

    I use a Macbook Pro, OSX 10.7.5. When I delete movie file from my iTunes library I get disk errors. I need to option boot select the recovery disk and repair the disk.  Deleting a movie file I have placed on my desktop with finder does not create any errors.  Most of the movie files are created as .m4v movies. They all play just fine with my Apple TV. I have tried turning off the Apple TV and rebooting before I delee files but nothing seems to work.
    Any ideas?
    Lance

    If you let iTunes organise your media folders then that is the way it is. An option would be to change the Media Kind to TV Show which would gather them togther in one folder, but in a different part of the library.

  • No sound when exporting .mov

    Can someone please look at these HBO videos and tell me why none of them will export with audio?
    http://www.hbo.com/deadwood/video/index.shtml
    All the HBO online videos are like this, they have no audio when exported.

    You can't "save" streaming media.
    Therefore you can't "export" the file.

  • Disk full attempting to move files from PC to Mac

    I've just bought a brand new Macbook Air. I'm attempting to move photos, music and some documents from my old acer onto the macbook. However when i've tried to do this, i've found that the disk is full. This disk is the macinstosh HD disk, though there is another disk shown aswell.
    Any help on how I can transfer the rest of my stuff on would be great as I know there should be enough space on this machine to hold the smallish amount of stuff i'm putting onto it.
    Thanks

    I'm not moving everything from the acer but i reckon theres about 50 GB of stuff.
    Well the MBA came with 500GB of storage, of which i've used next to none.
    Although when I look in disk utility, I can see what appear to be two disks. One is called APPLE SSD SD0128F Media and the other is Macintosh HD. Combined they only have 240 GB of storage. Completely baffled about how to view where things are stored, as i'd normally just go to "my computer"
    I'm using an external HDD to move the data.
    Thanks

  • New hard disk full when is not

    Hi. I have a Mac 10.4.11. Two years ago the original hard drive died so I took it to the computer store and replaced it with a new and larger hard drive. It's working great.
    When I go to disk utility, it says
    CAPACITY 297.8
    AVAILABLE 219.2
    USED 78.2
    so why do I get the msg that the hard drive is full. Is there anything that I can do to fix this?
    Thanks!

    Sorry for my late answer.
    Your previous post: Disc Utility to erase free space bring nothing : the free space is free.  You should verify your disc to see if there is some problem in the file system.
    From your second post I understand that you can try to delete some files. Have you already emptied the basket or you do not empty it from time to time ?  There could be a lot of stuff.
    Also some Apps have theyr own basket or a place to keep deleted data like mail.
    Check if you have duplicates and if you can delete something or move something to an externald Disc.
    Best solution whould be to change again the Startup disc with a bigger one.

  • Freezes when exporting .mov files in CS4 / Adobe Media Encoder

    For the past 7 hours now I have been trying every internet remedy for the following problem, and was wondering if any of you nice people could help:
    I just came back from a ski trip, and wanted to make an edit featuring my fiends. I recorded large parts of the trip on my new iPhone, both in 720p 120fps (120.15fps, h.264 1280*720) and the normal 1080p 30fps. iPhone files are in the .mov format. I also recorded some parts on a GoPro hero hd2 camera at both 720p 60fps and 1080p 30fps. GoPro files are in the MP4 format, and i've never had a probvlem with them.
    Now all imports fine into premiere pro, and although I had a few problems with freezing while editing initially, this was quickly solved by terminating all unused (non-adobe) processes in task manager.
    So I spent a good 4 hours making a 2.5 minute edit of our day, and wanted to export it.
    So I selected the sequence, and went file>export>media, selected all of the preferences i wanted for exporting, and sent it to the Adobe media encoder.
    The media encoder loads the files for a few seconds, and then starts the encoding process. And promptly freezes. It freezes at around 10-20 seconds (depending on export preferences) after starting to encode, and never restarts. i can then pause the encode, but cancelling it crashes adobe media encoder and subsequently also crashes Premiere Pro.
    I may be mistaken here, but I have a strong suspicion that It is quicktime that is causing all this.
    So I tried the following:
    - reinstalling, downgrading, updating, etc. Quicktime
    - renaming file extensions from .mov to .mp4
    - all sorts of export preferences, from image sequences to dvd to blueray and dv. (Image sequences, interestingly, occasionally export to about half a minute into the video(also depending on preferences), then freeze)
    - crossing my fingers
    - checking for gaps in video, found none
    - updating premiere pro and media encoder
    - throwing my mouse at the wall in frustration
    - making a new project with different settings and copying in the sequence
    - disabling "Include source xmp metadata"
    - making a new user account and trying it there
    Is there anything else I can try?
    Could I copy the project itself into a different program (e.g. iMovie or Windows Movie Maker) and export from there?
    Is there an alternative to Adobe media encoder?
    Need more information?
    Thanks for the help!
    Specs:
    Premiere version: 4.2.1
    Encoder version: 4.2.0.006
    Comp specs:
    16Gb ram
    quad core i5
    256 Gb solid state (system, program files are here)
    2TB HDD (video files, scratch disk are here)
    Nvidia gtx 660 graphics
    Windows 64 bit
    1 monitor

    I bought quicktime pro today to try this, but to no avail. it just freezes up again during export.
    I tried some other fixes on that page, like renaming files to .mpg extension, which worked once during an export of a test sequence (although everything was shifted and it cut off the export at the gopro footage).
    Is there any way I can export this project to another program to export it from there perhaps?
    Thanks for the help!

  • Why no sound when exporting movie?

    Pretty new to Quicktime Pro.
    When I try to export a .Mov file for email purposes (or any other setting) the sound option is greyed out and the movie exports with no sound?

    How To Identify the file*, video and audio** format of a movie or sound file
    In QuickTime Player
    Open the file
    Window menu > Show movie info
    Look in the Format: field
    Note that QuickTime Player may fail to display any audio information for some files.
    In MPlayer OSX:
    Show the playlist window if it isn't already visible.
    Drag the movie file into the playlist window.
    Select the movie in the list
    Click the "i" button for info
    In VLC
    Open the movie in VLC
    Window menu > Info
    Click the black triangles so that they point down
    Note that VLC does not display the file format, only the format of the content (audio and video) within the file. A file ending in .divx for instance, is probably in actuality an avi file but VLC doesn't show that information - MPlayer will and QuickTime Player will - if - QuickTime Player will open the file to begin with.

  • Hard disk full. so exported iPhoto library. can't locate them now?

    received message stating Hard Drive full. therefore mac book air running slow whilst on net.
    attempted to transfer all photos from mac book air to external hard drive. nothing would work.
    noticed an export feature on iPhoto drop down menu, pressed it and the photos have moved somewhere but not available on mac or external hard drive?
    help please
    thanks in advance

    Having a Full HD is a big problem and a likely cause of this issue. How much free space have you on your Mac now?
    How did you try and move the iPhoto Library?

  • Startup disk full when iTunes is opened

    I have a Macbook Air running on 10.8.5 OSX Mountain Lion. My mac seems fine when all other apps are opened but iTunes. Whenever i try to open itunes, my available space suddenly decreases at a fast rate. Say I have 12.0GB of free space, and when I start iTunes and play music, in a matter of 30 seconds, it'll show that I only have 300-400KB of space left, which practically why my mac says start up disk is full.
    What seems to be the problem and how can I resolved it?

    You didn't post the size of your hard drive, but you need 10-15% free for applications to use.

  • Out of disk space when exporting a 10 min video!

    I am trying to export a FCPX project that is roughly 10 mins long. It has transitions, text, music etc. I have a MBA 4gb, 120gb SSD, Intel i5.
    The problem is, about half way through it crashes saying that the startup disk is nearly full, even though I have 40gb free before starting.
    I have even tried moving all the events and project to an external drive and exporting the file to the same drive but it doesnt make any difference.
    The confusing thing is, I exported another file a week early, about 10 mins long and that worked fine. I have the same amount of free disk space as I did then.
    Any ideas? Is there a way to set FCP to use the external drive exclusively and not the startup disk?
    I am trying to export using the following compressor settings: (It still fails if I use a lower quality export)

    The problem was an effect I had on one clip. I delted all the effects on all clips and exported without any issues. I then re-applied all the effects and this worked fine also. It was just a correupted effect on one clip that was causing the problem.

  • Out of disk space when exporting

    im trying to export a project to quick time and saving it to the desktop..
    and a window appears telling out of disk space...
    What to do???????
    thank you...

    You just have to specify the drive you wish to export to, in the export dialog interface...
    What other drives do you have available?
    K
    EDIT - What are you exporting, and what is the current workflow you're following.
    If you simply don't have disk space, you could try exporting a reference movie...(uncheck 'make movie self-contained') Be aware that if you do this, you MUST retain all media that the file contains, and it won't work on another system...without the identical material anyway.
    But if you're that low on disk space, you really need to find a longer term solution, like an additional drive, or simply delete unnecessary media from a drive.
