Exporting options are grayed out

I know this is a lame, basic question, but does anyone have any suggestions as to why are my export options in iMovie grayed out? As a result, I am not able to do anything with my completed movies.
What am I missing?

you can export only Projects, not Events.
click in your Project Window to 'open' any project, then you're export options are blacked.

    Thanks for the follow up.
    From what you wrote, you have Premiere Elements 10. Is that on Windows 7 64 bit or other. For now I will assume Windows 7 64 bit. If version 10 is on Windows 7 or 8 64 bit it is a 64 bit application running in the 64 bit system which makes it possible for full use of the 64 bit resources. That is good news especially when you are trying to take a large project to completion.
    You set up the project preset in the new project dialog to match the properties of your source media. That setting directs the program to establish the right space in the Edit Mode Monitor for editing purposes. That project preset also directs the program as to what disc menu set (s, w, or hd) will be available to you in the disc menu section. The project preset also has more subtle effects on the project settings.
    What is you plan for exporting your Timeline, export to file saved to the computer hard drive or burn to disc DVD or Blu-ray? Keep in mind that the setting for the project preset do not prohibit variations in the export choice under most conditions. If you post a description of your source media and how you would like to export it, I will offer some very specific guidelines on that.
    If you do go the purchased book route, please try for one which is specific to your version 10. There has been a marked change in interface starting with version 11. Often principles remain the same from version to version, but features do not. And, I always write "It is very frustrating to be armed with principles when you cannot find a feature."
    I suggest that you start with the Premiere Elements 10 Help PDF and then decide what next.

    A lot of these links that say version 10, roll over to 11.
    Steve Grisetti, the moderator of this forum, writes books on Premiere Elements if you are interested in the purchased book route.
    Hope the information above is helpful. Above all do not hesitate to ask if you have questions on your Premiere Elements workflow or need clarification on anything written.
    Thanks.

  • HT6437 My itunes cannot locate my ipod. All the sync option are grayed out and diagnostics says that itunes cannot find usb ports and that no device is connected when it is. What should I do to solve this issue?

    So itunes is giving me problems. Since around Christmas time, itunes decided to stop reading my ipod. I connect it to my computer with the usb cable and my computer will recognize that a device is connected but itunes will not. If I go to file->devices and try to sync, all of my sync options are grayed out, while before it would just automatically sync.
    When I run diagnostics it tells me that under ports that it cannot find usb ports (it has a green circle?), a type of cable isn't found, and that no device is connected with the usb cable (which my ipod is). I have been trying to fix this issue but nothing is working. I've tried restarting my ipod, itunes, and my computer, i've also tried resetting my ipod and uninstalling itunes then reinstalling itunes but nothing seems to be working.
    Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

    Do the USB ports work for other devices?
    Does the iPod charge?
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with                  
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:

    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

    > Notification --- > worklist/create/change/display.
    The options worklist/create/change/display are grayed out.
    Thanks in advance for your help!!!

    Hi,
    Thanks for your email.
    I checked with the Basis Admin, the user has authorisation to the T-code QM01, when I tried in the production System I can create the Notification from the option in the QA11 screen but these options are grayed out in the users screen, Is there is any other option available to solve this issue.

  • I cannot open downloaded files. The "Open" & "Open Containing Folder" options are grayed out, as well as the "Open" option. I have removed Kaspersky to sure.

    I cannot open downloaded files. The "Open" & "Open Containing Folder" options are grayed out. Cannot right-click on the files to open. File does not appear in the targeted folder. If "opened," the files provide an error message. Issue is primarily with MS Word.

    If "Open" and "Open Containing Folder" in the right-click context menu in the Download Manager window are grayed then that means that the file is no longer in the original download location.<br />
    It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.<br />
    Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.<br />
    See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"

    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

  • Any reasons why these options are grayed out in PSA? Transfer/Create/Delete

    Hi,
    I have a flat file mater data attri in PSA and it is not showing in Targeted InfoObject. When I select all the objects in the PSA, I thought the "Transfer" option in the menu option List, would let me transfer the selected data into the customer infoobj but Transfer, Create and Delete options under List in the PSA are grayed out.
    Any reasons for these options being grayer out?
    Any way to push the data from here in the the InfoObject?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    thanks for the input.
    No, this is not through process chain
    I created infopak to load the data from flat file... which placed it in the PSA.
    Then I created DTP which is supposed to take the data to the Customer InfoObj  but it did not. That is why I wanted to manually push it from PSA to InfoObj.
    Any more help?
    Thanks

  • "Synchronize Now" and other options are grayed out?

    I'm pretty sure this is not technically a WSUS issue but it's only affecting WSUS in this scenario, so...
    I have 4 WSUS servers, all in the same OU in Active Directory.  1 is my master server, the other 3 are the replicas.  About a week ago, all of the sudden my 3 replicas have "Synchronize Now" is grayed out.  Server Cleanup Wizard and WSUS Server Configuration Wizard are grayed out in the Options view, but even the other options say "You do not have sufficient permissions to modify these settings" when I click on them.  As a result I can't do manual synchronizations if I have to make a quick approval change.  My nightly synchs still occur, thankfully.  This is not an issue on my master server even though it is in the same OU and (from what I can tell) the same permissions are applied.
    I'm an administrator (triple checked group membership in Administrators, when I log in, AU prompts me for updates, etc).  I don't know what permissions it is missing.  Running Server 2003, and checked to make sure the shortcut doesn't have a funky permissions restriction.  I'm at a complete loss.  I've rebooted the servers several times for other things, removed any updates that were recently installed...
    Pretty positive it's something simple but it is escaping me.  It is possible the server admin team changed something in AD or on the servers themselves, but I've checked what I know to check and don't see anything suspect.  A little help?  What permissions make the WSUS console "go"?

    An update to this.  :/
    Got impatient enough to remove WSUS and all its components from the least important server, rebooted, re-installed WSUS and (so far) nothing is grayed out or is malfunctioning in any way.
    Has anyone ever seen this happen to them?  I searched google quite a bit on this one, and found nothing but this thread linked below, which didn't describe my issue except for the 3rd (and final) post.

  • Typewriter tool options are grayed out

    I'm using Acrobat 8 Professional Windows version. In the Typewriter toolbar there are icons to increase/decrease the size of the text or increase/decrease the line spacing for text typed with the Typewriter. I can type with the Typewriter, but size and line spacing icons are grayed out. Why would this be? (no security on the files I'm working with)

    Has anyone found any solution to this yet? I have the exact same problem. When I click on the Typewriter tool and start typing, the option button for chaning size and spacing remain grayed out. This is quite strange. I am using Acrobat 8.1.5 for Windows.

  • Arrange options are grayed out.

    I need to send an image to the background but in the top menu and in inspector on the image tab, the options to select in-line, background, etc, are grayed out. How can I force this image to the back ground?

    Greg,
    I'll give you an explanation as to why the Page Layout mode doesn't provide for Master Objects and Background Objects. Hopefully you can make a rational decision about which garbage you prefer.
    As Fruhulda noted, Pages doesn't have a Text Layer. Since the Background is the area behind the Text Layer, Background has no practical meaning in a PL doc.
    A Page Layout document is comprised of 1-page Sections. A Section Master Object is one that persists for an entire Section. Since (all) Sections in a Page Layout document are (only) 1 page in length, Section Master Object has no practical meaning in a PL doc.
    You may use the Arrange menu to set the stacking order of objects in Page Layout document.
    You may use Format > Advanced > Capture Pages... to establish pages with elements that can be reused later in the document.

  • Cannot Share - All Options are Grayed Out

    New to iMovie '08 and having problems getting my projected rendered. Here's what I did: First, I imported 4 .mp4 files. No problem there. They came in in the order I wanted, all the thumbnails are fine, I can play it from the 'play' button at the very lower left and all I want to do now is burn to DVD. However, all the Share options are gray. Yes, I select the project in the Library before trying to Share. Of note, the 'play' button on the middle left at the bottom of the upper half of iMovie, if I press that, does nothing. What's going on? How do I get this thing rendered? Thanks!

    David,
    Have you moved the clips you wish to use in your project from the Library to the Project pane?
    From what you describe, it sounds like you haven't.

  • Flash Video Encoder - audio options are grayed out

    I'm trying to convert some mpg videos to flv and the first
    time the audio settings were available - but since I tried to
    change the data rate in the audio settings - the choice is now
    grayed out to "include the audio"? The videos have audio...ugh, I'm
    frustrated. I hope I have explained my situation enough - I'm very
    new to working with videos...

    If those boxes are grayed out then it's because FME didn't
    recognize the codec used, try to convert the mpeg to an avi or mov.
