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

  • Error 108 when exporting in Master file

    My project is a 2-hours multicam edit. And I have this error 108 when I go to the Final Cut Pro X share menu and select "Master files" (Fichier Master" en français).
    After a certain period of time, an alert will appear with this number.
    What I don't get is why it's working when exporting with the other entries from this Share Menu !
    Ps : I saw that this question was replied quite a time ago, but the given solutions don't work for me.
    (Mac Pro (Mid 2010) - OS X 10.8.4 - memory - 16 Go - FCP X 10.0.9)

    My project is 1920 x 1080 - 25i - surround - 48 khz
    When I use the export menu, it is said Video Codec : Source is Apple ProRes 422
    RAM is 16 Go - Hard Drives have plenty of room avail.
    As you might know this problem is known but never found any help. some say it's a bug...

  • Imovie 2011 error - 108 when exporting

    Hi there,
    i have a macbook air 2011, 128gb (60 gb free) 4gb memory, mac os 10 7.3 lion.
    Don’t have TimeMachine (didn’t even set up TimeMachine for the first time)
    When trying to export a 720p file (regular export) in imovie
    (Estimated file size 2.6gb, 30 fps, H.264)
    The mac reaches the last ten minutes (after working two hours) of export and then stops and says cannot complete project: error – 108 occurred.
    Imovie can export fine a large size movie but not higher.
    already tried:
    1. duplicating project, renaming project
    2. tweaking with “Lion cache cleaner” (repair permissions, optimize RAM & Files)
    3. Shutting down
    Next logical step would be to clean the cache, no?
    Does anyone have a solution?
    TIA

  • TA22866 Error -40 when exporting from imovie?

    I am trying to get an old movie I created off an old imac from 2000.
    When I export it to quicktime in "Medium quality", it works ok.
    When I export it to quicktime in "Hiigh quality", it exports and creates the file but when I try to open it in quicktime or drag it to a USB thumb drive, it cannot do either one and says an error -40 has occurred.  Can anyone help?  I really want to get this movie off the old imac and not in medium quality.
    Thanks!

    Thank you for the suggestion. I had stopped trying to use iMovie '09 at all for several days, then went back to it to try creating a movie from a different original source material, one that I had successfully exported movies from in the past (a Kodak Zi6). To my surprise, I got the same error as the one I got from my quicktime generated mp4's.
    When this occurs, it seems to almost complete the encoding process. I can see a file on disk, that grows to about the size that the final export movie should be. I even created a hardlink to that file so that when iMovie '09 errors out, I still have a copy of the exported movie. However, there is something about the metadata on the file that inhibits my ability to even open it with Quicktime.
    When I attempt to use "open movie.mp4" at the command-line, it immediately errors out with:
    Some files were not found for the file /Volumes/gks/Pictures/HCRO/timelapse/eno-titles-backup.mp4.
    I'm unfamiliar with fixing up these sorts of metadata forks on macosx, but suspect this is fixable after the fact.
    Also, it turns out that your suggestion to lower the bit rate to 2500-5000 was helpful! I've been able to export movies using the lower bit rate. This is rather unfortunate though as the lower quality is notable... sigh.
    So, it appears that this is an issue with iMovie '09 interacting with the quicktime codec for H.264.

  • Error -108 when exporting a quicktime movie

    I can not export a project because every time FCP X interrupt the process with a -108 error. Why apple does not give us a clue what the error could be? anyone knows what´s happening? I trashed the render files and does not work

    You are talking about "export media" not share ? I have had this error when trying to use share but never when using export media. Delete preferences is a good start. http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/

  • 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.

  • Osstatus error -108 when exporting slideshow ... what does this mean?

    I googles this and can't find anyone who has had it. How can you find out without being an operating systems developer!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What happens to the slideshow other than giving you this error. Don't know what it means. However, several users have reported iPhoto crashing when trying to export a slideshow. You might search this forum for that to see if you're experiencing something similar. As far as I know there was no fix found.
    Be sure to report it to Apple via via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

    Hi

    Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ? Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
    UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
    What this means in Your situation is above me.
    • free space on internal boot hard disk? How much ?
    Video codec
    • streamingDV, AIC etc. (not .avi, .mp4, .m4v, .wmv etc as they are containers not codecs)
    Pictures
    • in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
    Audio
    • from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
    The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file
    Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
    • Library - at root level
    • Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into
    from Luke Burns
    I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
    I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..

    You need more free space on your hard drive.

    After phone support from apple I ended up creating a new project and adding all 117 clips back in individually till I found out what clips flagged and would not allow me to export. I had 3 I deleted and replaced and everything works now 1hr after tedious work....
    Where do Your material come from
    • Camera
    • External hard disk
    • USB-memory
    And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?

  • When exporting from Imovie I get the following error? OSStatus error -2009

    when exporting from Imovie I get the following error? OSStatus error -2009

    Hi
    Apple Support pages says.
    Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.

  • IDVD Stops Responding when Exporting from iMovie

    I'm using iDVD and iMovie (from iLife 06 and fully up to date) on a MacPro (also up to date on all software, MacOSX, Quicktime etc).
    This proceedure has worked before several times but now results in a non-responding iDVD every time I try it, including an archive and re-install and a complete new install of OSX and all software on a new partition.
    What I'm doing.....
    [1] Recording a TV programme on EyeTV (410) and exporting it to iMovie - sucessful every time
    [2] Edit the iMove project and add chapter markers and save project - no problem.
    [3] Export to iDVD - iDVD shows exporting in progress and whilst this is still showing iDVD launches
    [4] iDVD starts playing the music from a std theme for a few seconds and then stops. Then resumes the music after resizing the window and then after a couple of more seconds freezes. From the Dock I can see that iMove and iDVD are "not responding"
    [5] Eventually iMovie completes it's "export" and then starts responding normally. iDVD continues to show as non responding although I can move the window around the screen. I have to force quit iDVD to get it to close down.
    I have tried:
    Re-exporting the project from EyeTV
    Deleting the preferences files for iMove and iDVD
    Deleting the iLife suite and re-installing
    Doing an OSX archive and re-install
    Installing a fresh OSX (10.4.8) on a different drive and installing fresh software
    Running Disk Utility - clean bill of health on both drives
    Repaired permissions
    The Console reports the following errors when exporting from iMove to iDVD:

    Result - problem persists. I'm at a loss as what to do next. Any suggestions greatfully received.

    Yes, tried that when I deleted the preferences. Disk Utility did not report any permissions needed repairing.
    What really mystifies me is that this export to iDVD did work once and I expected it to resume once I'd created a fresh OSX install along with all the iLife apps on a new partition, but it remained the same!
    Perhaps there is some sort of other software conflict going on? I have Adobe CS2, MS Office, Toast and FMP installed all are latest editions. On the utilities front I have installed Stuffit Deluxe, Internet Cleanup, Contour USB controller for video editing and a LogicTech wireless trackball. Again all the drivers are the latest releases.
    Does anyone know if there are any preferences associated with the other not responding applications listed in my other post that I could try the delete-reboot trick on?

  • OS Status error -9459 when exporting slideshow

    I've put together a 17 minutes slideshow in iPhoto using the scrapbook theme. I've received this error twice now - once when using the default "display" size export to mp4 and a different time when using a more customized export to .mov using no compression.
    After the first error, I rebooted and the export worked. I am trying a reboot again to see if I can export again with the new settings.
    Anyone know why I'm getting this error and what it means?
    "The operation couldn't be completed.
    (OSStatus error -9459.)"

    You may have a damaged library. Try the following: backup and launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed to rebuild the library. Select the last three options.

    This topic has considerable discussion on that particular error message and possible fixes: Error 9459 Potential Fix
    Also Apearl reported in this topic, http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11195681#11195681, setting the Energy Saver to never sleep would avoid that error message when exporting the slideshow. Not a fix, but a workaround.
    Also if you search the iPhoto forum for 9459 you'll find many more topics covering the problem and some potential fixes.

  • Changing frame rate when exporting from iMovie '09 using quicktime has no impact on duration.  Why?

    Changing frame rate when exporting from iMovie '09 using quicktime has no impact on duration.  Why?
    I have a file created by digitizing an 8mm film at a rate of 24 fps. I would like to create a downloaded movie at a frame rate of 15 fps.  The Export using Quicktime option seems to provide that capability but the resulting file has the same duration as the original 24 fps file.  How can I get the exported movie to be slowed down?

    joegez,
    There is a feature you can use to slow down the video. In the project, move the mouse pointer over the clip, then click the gear icon. That brings up the Inspector. Click the Clip tab. Then you will see a feature there called Speed. Move the slider to the left to slow down the clip. Or you can enter a percentage in the box on the right.
    Hope this solves the problem for you.

  • 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.
