Error Message - The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (-2125)
I hope you can help.
I have imported a video from my camcorder into iMovie 09. The files total nearly 50gb and have taken up all the spare memory on my mac.
I have now finished editing it into a 1 hour and 20 minute video (not sure how big this final edit is).
Because the original unedited files are so big I am now desperate to export the finished product onto DVD and also onto my external My Passport so i can watch on my TV (not an Apple TV). This will then allow me to delete the 50gb files.
After 6 hours of exporting the movie in HD to My Passport i got the above error message. Can anyone help please?
Please note i have not yet tried to export to DVD. So is the problem with My Passport or is there another issue i dont know about that you could assist with?
Thanks and Regards,
Hi
Error -2125
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.

Also option Share - Media Browser - Large/Medium/Mobile give the same errormessage.

No matter how I try to finalize an imovie I get the following message:
"The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (Error code = -49)"Hi
Error -49 opWrErr File already open with write permission
Trash the preference files while application is NOT Running.
Easiest way to find out if this is the problem is by:
• Create a new User-Account
• Log out of Your old one and into this
• Re-try iMovie
If it now works OK - then 99.9% the problem is iMovie pref. file that needs to be trashed.

Some users notice on exporting larger projects from within iMovie that this operation is aborted with an 'error -49'

Error -108 memFullErr Ran out of memory [not enough room in heap zone]

The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred.
I have just loaded iLife 09 on my MAC. I've edited a movie and now want to export it, put it in iTunes, whatever I can do to move it beyond my laptop. No matter what option I choose under Share I get the same error message, "The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (-2009)". I can find the error message online, but not the (-2009) error code. I'm also a longtime PC person who has just switched to a MAC. Can anyone help?
I also am having the exact same problem. iMovie '09. I have tried changing permissions on all sharing folders, exporting to desktop, sharing to iTunes in all size files - and yet still get "Unable to prepare project for publishing. error (-2009).

Imovie error The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (-50)
I can't export my imovie project.
Appears this message:
"The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (-50)"
What can I do?Thanks for the details. We have a similar problem (see my post below) and are in the process of adding back each clip and then testing for export. My question is, once iMovie is unable to export the project, does it render the file "bad" and prevent exporting even if you remove the "poisned" clip(s)?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hello, We are having a similar problem running iMovie '09. We get the exact same error as you reported.
"Unable to prepare project for publishing" The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred (-50)
We have a very similar situation were we have multiple repeated clips. However, our clips are 2.4 's. Like you, we took the finished project and started eliminating edits that we thought might be preventing it from exporting. The following actions still would not allow the project to export:
removing title pages
removing transitions
removing imported music from iTunes
removed another clip from another event
closed all other programs
closed iMovie, powered off computer, opened iMovie, tried to export
reconfirmed the last project exported would still export - it did without issueThe only difference between the project that will export and the one that does not are these short (2.4's) repeating clips
When we create the new project from the recorded event without making any edits (just as recorded), it exports without issue. We have started the arduous task of adding back in each edit and testing it for export until we determine which edit is causing it to "not export". This is a very inefficient way of troubleshooting.
This is a science project for my son and we need to be able to save it as a QT or mpeg4 movie so that he can submit it to his teacher for viewing and a grade!
Any ideas from any other users would be greatly appreciated. -
I keep getting this message from Imovie:
Unable to prepare project for publishing. The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (Error in user parameter list)Bartirn,
I called Apple under my Mac support contract. They were completely unfamiliar with the error you and I were encountering. Updating to 10.8.5 didn't help.
I'm stopping my TimeCapsule while I perform these tasks, but I don't know yet if I have a consistent work-around.

In iMovie I am getting this message...Unable to prepare project for publishing. The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. File already open with write permission.
How do I resolve this?Hi
Most often it helps by - Turning Off the TimeMachine application - during work in iMovie.
