Exporting to .mov for Youtube = corrupted file. Please help!

Hi guys. Here's my problem. I created a piece of stop motion animation using iStopmotion. The clip is just over a minute long. I imported it to iMovie so that I could add some sound and some fancy titles/credits. At this point, everything appears to be working fine.
I then export my finished movie as a Quicktime file so that I can post it on Youtube. If I play back the Quicktime file on my computer, it works perfectly. However, as soon as it's uploaded to Youtube, playback stops at a certain point even though the red time bar continues to the full length of the film. You can drag the little time slider past the point at which the film stops prematurely, but it shows nothing but black and snaps back to the premature cut-off point. I've tried exporting the movie as an mpeg4 file instead and the same thing happens.
I've even tried going back to the source iStopmotion file, editing it by altering the order of the frames near this problem point - yet when I upload to Youtube it stops playing at exactly the same point. I've tried altering every step of this movie's creating several times but it always freezes at roughly the same point when I'm viewing it on Youtube. I have also tried clearing my browser's cache, no success there either.
My friend suggested that the file had been corrupted somehow. Please can anyone shed some light on this, as I've spent hours trying to get it to work and am not starting to lose my sanity!

I've just solved my own problem. It's not an issue with iMovie as such, but I will post my solution here anyway in case anybody else experiences the same problem (and frustration) that I did.
My iMovie project featured a brief 2-second soundclip as the only soundtrack on the whole film. As soon as this audio clip finished, Youtube stopped playing the movie. I assume this is because Youtube assumed the clip had finished because the sound level had reduced to zero. To fix this, I copied, pasted and muted the audio clip using iMovie so that the rest of the film featured a muted audio track.
This has solved the problem and now Youtube plays my video in its entirety!

FAQ: How do I export a movie for YouTube, Vimeo, iPad, iPhone, or Apple TV?

When you export your movie, choose H.264 as the format and then choose the appropriate YouTube, Vimeo, iPad, iPhone, or Apple TV encoding preset from the Preset menu.
See this video for instructions for using the new and improved encoding presets in Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5:
Adobe Media Encoder Improvements

I figured out one way to do it.
I don't know if it's the easiest.
1. drag the movie from iPhoto into the iTunes movie folder.
2. in iMovie- go to "file- New Event". Name it.
3. go to "file- New Project". Name it.
4. click the iTunes button on right"Show or Hide Music and Sound Effects browser"
5.Scroll down until you see the iTunes icon and expand the triangle if not already expanded to reveal the "Movies" icon. Click on it.
6. Find the movie in the list below and drag it to the new event.
7. edit and/or drag it to the Project window.
Go to "Share- YouTube..." follow the prompts.
It will process the movie and let you post it to YouTube, and give you the option to share it.

Try deleting the Fireworks Preferences.txt. That will restore
all
program defaults the next time you load FW. If that doesn't
do it, check
for missing or corrupted fonts.

ITunes.exe - Corrupt File Please help!!!

Every time I plug my ipod into my computer iTunes will open, and in my task bar it will read iTunes.exe - Corrupt File. The File or Directory\iPod_control is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility. Every time I go to click on this it disapears, and it is impossible to restore because iTunes doesnt show it as being plugged in. What can I do? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Corrupt files please help

whenever i connect my ipod to update the music i recieve a message saying that my ipod has corrupt files and that i need to restore my ipod. i have restored many times but still does not work. can someone help me fix this

Well, I'm happy we at least got the first problem solved.
I would suggest Restoring the iPod in iTunes, even if you have already done so, try again.
Next, go into My Computer, right-click the iPod and click Properties.
Is it possible that something like a Read Only box got checked? Or something like that?
I am sorry, but that's kinda all the help I can be, as I have never seen that problem before (although I am sure it is not just you). However, if you post back, I might be able to explain more, or maybe there is something you will notice that I do not know right now that will help.
If I was really no help, and no one else posts on this thread for a few days, I would suggest starting a new thread, as this one has been marked as Solved, therefore fewer people may view it.
I hope this helps! Post back!

Thumbnails no longer appear for .dv video files - Please help!

I have about 10,000 .dv files on my hard drive and every since installing Mavericks, the thumbnails have disappeared. I see that if I try to open them, QT automatically converts them to a .mov file. This isn't really a solution since I import them into my video editing software and I just need to be able to see the thumbnails to tell which video file is which.
I guess either of the two solutions would work, but I don't know where to go about looking for the anwer:
I either need to be able to:
1. Get the video thumbnails to show up again for .dv files in Mavericks
or
2. Find a way to batch convert about 10,000 .dv files to .mov so the thumbnails will again appear.
Any ideas?
Thank you for your help.

I've exhausted all the searching I can online and I've come up with nothing. Looks like my only solution is to use a program like Wondershare Video Converter and convert all the .dv files into .mov one directory at a time.
I did one test and it took a couple of hours for the first directory, and I've got about 200 directories of files to convert.
Usually, I'm not one to be upset by things Apple changes in their OS, but this is one of those things where I simply cannot figure out why they would have removed the thumbnails for a video type. One that has existed for many years.
Strange.
If anyone thinks of any other solution, please let me know. I'm probably not going to do the conversion for a couple of weeks in hopes that another solution does come up.
Thanks for your help!

Thank you!

Thanks for your response. Is there no other way to get the swf file to work properly from After Effects?
What is the best way to go about using the MP4, F4V or FLV formats to save as a swf in Flash?

Hi Videoframe
This was emailed to Apple Support on 23 DEc 2012 at 09:50 Eastern Australia time.
"I continued to talk to other Apple Mac users on iMovie….Interesting to have found out that their movies were made using iDVD without any known issues as yet…Looking at the results from Apple Support Forum and Youtube, problems appears to be when NOT using iDVD. I and many others can't understand how these many technical problems were overlooked by the programmers of iMovie. One would have thought iMovie problems have been iron out prior to getting rid of iDVD. By the way when I first contacted Apple Support back on 16th Nov, I was told I need to RE-INSTALL my computer…..that I did and in the process my iDVD was removed and never was re-installed.
May I suggest you delegate a junior person or someone string together a project consisting over near 1700 images, approx. 25mins of video footage, titles and including with and without transitions then export the project.
I am still in the dark as to what is being done about this extended non result. I am not sure if is known by the people who is in charge of this iMovie programme. it would be nice to get some sort of feedback. Not sure if I should refer this to a third party to do the testing?? I am sure Apple's competitors would love to make a mockery of this.
There has to be a time frame for this to end, as I and many others can't simply sit here in the dark and wait for someone to come back for a solution, this could be months or years who knows. As you can appreciate I am not the only user anxiously waiting for a solution.
I guess I am in a way representing other worldwide users in pursuing a solution on this matter ASAP. I therefore ask you to please make this a priority if this is at all possible.
Many thanks."
I've been corresponding to them since Fri 16th Nov on and off without a solution.

While playing Candy Crush and purchasing more moves, it never gives me the correct amount of moves therefore forcing me to buy many more purchases. Last night it only gave me 2 moves on 1 purchase! PLEASE HELP!!

Tmobile did the exact same thing to me. So that is customer service at work in general. Nice try though lol.
To the OP
I see you said You paid for shipping, did you Insure it? Claim insurance on it. If you did not, It may not be Verizon or your fault in the sense of the phone not making it to the warehouse. There are people out in the postal world that will steal phones that are not insured. It could have been a Verizon employee, i suppose.
But, if this was to be a bought in court, if you shipped it with out insurance, sadly your at fault.
Do you still have the Serial number of your old phone? If so, you should be able to track where your phone is (if it is reported as a defect/damaged) If so, you may be able to use that as proof. If it does not show up as a defect or what ever they determine use as a loss, then you know it did not make it to the warehouse to be checked in. I would suspect Apple or Verizon could tell you what the Serial number came up as.
