ERROR -50 WHEN TRYING TO EXPORT VIDEO IN IMOVIE

I have made a video which goes for 3mins 56 seconds in imovie. I have a Mac Book Pro OSX version 10.7.4. I have 8bg memory and a 500gb hardrive. i have 424.29gb of free space on the harddrive. I have just deleted a whole lot of old movie clips from my folders to clear up some space as i thought space might be an issue.
Every time i try to export this video by clicking Share>>>Export using Quicktime it comes up with: UNABLE TO EXPORT MOVIE: The movie could not be exported because an error occurred. (-50).
I have NO IDEA how to fix this. I have tried googling for answers but i could'nt find ay i understood or that helped me. I have tried restarting my laptop. quiting imovie and restarting it. I don't know how to fix this! I have made many movies on this program before and are usually longer than 3.56mins!
Can someone PLEASE help me.... It would be much appreciated.

Thanks to all here in the community. I was able to search through previous posts and find solutions to my iMovie output issues. I solved the write permission issue by turning off Time Machine and found that sharing to iTunes seems to create a more satsifactory quality output.

Error Message when trying to export video

I've been getting the following error message whenever I try to export video I've edited in Lightroom (picture below).
The error message reads, "amecommand has encountered an error. [/Volumes/BuildDisk/builds/DynamicLinkMediaServer1/main/shared/adobe/MediaCore/Backend/Ma ke/Mac/../../Src/Sequence/Sequence.cpp-1315]"
The error message shows up as soon as I hit the export button to export video. After I click "continue," the export progress bar at top left makes no progress.
-I'm running Lightroom 4 with updates 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3 installed.
-I'm running it on Mac OS X version 10.6.8
-The video files I'm color correcting are .mov quicktime files that have been sent over from Final Cut 7's Media Manager.
-I haven't been able to make any video exports at all. This problem occurred as soon as I made my first attempt.
-The only other software I have open currently is Final Cut 7, Safari and my email.
-Processor is 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory is 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, 32.92 gigs available on my laptop's (C:) drive.
Would appreciate any help! The error message is pictured below:

Trash your preferences. Trash your project render files. Switch off background rendering. Export without using the computer for anything else.
Oh, and if you're using 10.9 switch off App Nap.

Here goes I have read through some of the answers to the question but mostly they seem to related to YouTube. My question relates to my iPad. I get an error message when trying to view a video which I synced from my macbook pro. The message reads "You do not have permission to access the requested resource" The question is how do I get permission. Has anyone got an answer would be much appreciated.

I am getting ERROR -50 when trying to export my 3 minute video. PLEASE HELP! I have 11G on hard drive, but comp seems to run slow on start up.... can I export or copy it in some other fashion? Desperately need help. THANK YOU!

Oops, Looks like I said most of what I wanted to in my title. Sorry ppl, my first time here.
So, my vid won't export. And I need it soon. I'm kind of in a panic. First time I've had this problem. The music from iTunes also aliases at times, but I can get it to play without that problem on occasion. (What causes that? That does happen with frequency, but then goes away at times.)
BUT, is there ANY WAY TO EXPORT or move a copy of the video somewhere else? (How, if so?)
And what does ERROR -50 mean?
Also, please know I am fairly computer illiterate, so if one could speak in the simplest terms possible, I would really dig that.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Hi
This is an easy Q: to set - but there is no simple and plain answer only a lot of more or less plausibly suggestions.
Error -50 = paramErr Error in user parameter list
Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ?
If so it 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 11Gb is on the limit to work when You select Export and might be it.
Video used - there are several video formats/codecs and iMovie can not use all of them, they evolve to fast.
• So try to find out by opening a raw video in QuickTime-player and then open Inspector (cmd+I) and read
Video Format/Codec: nnnnnnnn
What does it read ?
Pictures
• in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
Audio
• from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
I convert all audio to .aiff - in iTunes I burn out as an Audio-CD .aiff (not .mp3) and use the files on this in my movie projects.
Some times it's needed to trash the "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file in You USER-Library/Preferences (not Library on Root level (when opening Macintosh HD) - but the one in Your home folder.
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..

Error message when trying to export a book as PDF or trying to send it to Blurb

Hello
I'm desperatly trying to export my book as a pdf file in LR4 but I'm getting error message after rendering the 5th page (out of 85) Do you guys know why it's happening? Same error message when I try to send my book directly to Blurb (no surprise here since LR4 need to create a PDF file first....)
Do you have any suggestions?
To go around this problem, is there a way to export my book as it is (layout+ pictures (227)) to Blurb Booksmart software using the Blurb plug-in installed in LR4?
Please Help!!!
Thanks a lot in advance
Richard

Hello Dorin and thank you for your answer.
Yes page 5 is a double page spread and this is not the only one in my book! I will modify the page 5 to see if the error message will appear at the next double page spread....
Thanks again

Error message when trying to capture video

I am trying to capture video into FCE using a Sony MiniDV camera, the same one the footage was shot on, with a firewire connection. Every time i try to capture the footage, either using Capture CLip or Capture Now, it stops after about 10 seconds and gives me an error message that says there is a problem with my footage. I can play the footage back fine on my camera and there is no break in timecode. When i capture other footage shot on a different camera, using my Sony camera to capture, it works fine.
I bought a minDV head cleaning tape and ran it, it didn't help. Is it possible the settings on my FCE are wrong for the particular way i shot this footage? It was shot at SP. Or could it be a problem with my camera that made the footage damaged when i shot it?
Please help!

Most probably a tape problem on the original recording.
You know this information, and you know you've been doing it for years. We don't know that. We're trying to help you, and we can't see your system, what you're doing, or what you know. We have to guess, one step at a time. From what I can glean from the message, I can't see it being anything but a recording problem on the tape, or a recording problem in relation to the playback device, but those are pretty rare occurrences for cameras and decks that are properly maintained.

Iphoto crashing and ERROR message when trying to EXPORT to slide show

I am producing a simple Slide Show to be shown tomorrow at 8am.
I created it in IPHOTO but an older version. I did some tests last night and today. Worked fine.
Now that it is done I tried to EXPORT it to Quicktime, as a H.264 Quicktime movie.
Dimension 1280x 720
Stills only and no music. Classic with simple dissolves from one photo to next.
Export and proceed and I leave it alone. After about 1/2 hour or so it crashes and give ERROR message and say
"unable to process" or complete.
I have tried several times and changed specs. Still crashes.
What happened to Apple's Chat Support? Are then not online after a certain time?
On an IMAC with 16 Gbs of RAM, and have space left on drive. this is not complex.
anyone? It is due tonight so I can Hightail send it to AV people and it needs to be downloaded
tonight or EARLY tomorrow for showing at 8am.
thanks to anyone who can help.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
☞ If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
☞ Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Error 43 when trying to export movie to image sequence

Jenny, the solution for me was to save to the desktop. I can export when I save there.

Rendering error 50 when trying to export in iMovie 10.0.1

I am trying to export a 74 minute video and I keep getting "Share failed" with a rendering 50 error. I have tried to export to a thumb drive, to the desktop and to youtube and none have worked. Any help?

I had the same issue recently with non HD videos I re-edited recently. AppleCare could not help. Here's what I did and it worked.
1. First, I checked the partial shared video on my desktop and noted where it stopped. I then trimmed or deleted the clip just after where it stopped.
2. Then, I closed iMovie and rebooted my iMac, then tried Share again. I got this to work. ***** to lose part or all of a clip. It seems iMovie didn't like some of my clips, or they were corrupted somehow in the capture process.
Hope this helps, Eddie
