Freezing when exporting from imovie to quicktime

Everytime I export this one imovie into quicktime, it freezes at a video about half way through, the audio continues to play through the whole video but the image is frozen on the video. This has happened to me before with another imovie, and I don't know what to do.

I tried that and it makes a file without
video...sound only.
Itsounds like you didn't have the Sound box checked.

Why don't I get any sound when export from imovie to quicktime DVD

Help. I am a new imovie user so hope not being stupid. am using G4 powerbook with OS X 10.3.9. imovie 3.0.3 and quick time 7.1.2. Have made 2 films so far - first exported fine into quicktime with sound. Second exports but without any sound. This film is 5 mins long. It plays fine in imovie, and if exported as low quality for web also records sound (when 188 kg), but big version for DVD gives the problem. thanks for any advice. Sue

Hi Sue: (Nice name)
Welcome to discussions!
It may be that your quicktime is not getting along well with you OS X version...try to revert back to another version of quicktime (BUT- I don't know if this will work with your current QuickTime though)

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.

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?

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.

Exporting from imovie to quicktime movie

I have a 1080i HD movie in imovie I want to export to a quicktime file. In imovie the file is 50 gigabites. When I export at full quality it turns it from 16:9 to 4:3. When I go to expert settings and render it to a quicktime movie only the sound comes through...no video. This only happens with this particular movie. Other short movies I have are compressed to quicktime in HD just fine. I need suggestions how to render this from imovie to quicktime so I can keep the video in HD.

I tried that and it makes a file without
video...sound only.
Itsounds like you didn't have the Sound box checked.

No sound when exporting from imovie 3,03

After having read most of the posts related to sound troubles, I still can't figure out why I can't get any sound when I export from imovie 3,03.
I almost know the entire dan slagle site, and checked every button to play with, I've tried many export or preferences settings (including various depths or rates) but got no result at all.
Surprisingly, when I grab the .mov file to some converters (ffmpegx), the expected audio part looks to be there, but remains silent (for me, meaning all of the bits at 0).
Don't hesitate to require additional info - thanks to prompt answers

Idvd pixelated when exported from imovie

DVD looks great on imac but dvd is pixelated once exported from imovie and put on dvd using IDVD.
Any suggestions

Welcome to the forums, Alison.
I'm not a GarageBand user, but couldn't you export the GB audio tracks as a Quicktime file, and then import that audio track into iMovie? If it's combined in iMovie, then it should import into iDVD without a conceptual hitch.

Problem with the sound when exporting from imovie

I made a movie in imovie 09. I added music as backgroud and faded the original sounds of the movie to 0%. Everything looks and sounds good when I play the movie in imovie. However when I export the movie (because I want to burn it on a disk) the original sounds/noise comes back in some parts of the movie. How is this possible? I export the movie to Quicktime and to iDVD and it gives the same problem. Does anyone knows a sollution?

I have just found out that the correct word for "drawing area" is "artboard" in the English language Illustrator version. I use a German language Illustrator, so I'm sorry for misunderstandings concerning this term.
I have made an Illustrator file that should demonstrate the problem but was not able to find the correct place for bugs in the Production suite at the issue tracker. Would be "Project Nile" the place to put the bug at?

No audio when exporting from iMovie

I am trying to export my HD movie from imovie in HD size format 1280x720, when I do I am not getting any audio. Is there something that I am missing, a mute check box or special setting? I have looked everywhere but just cant figure it out.

This is speculation on my part so take it with a grain of salt.
But first you have to realize that iMovie renders the entire movie, effects, music, transitions, photos, etc. in one pass. If you use Final Cut Express or Final Cut Pro, you can render a sequence, or render a nest of sequences. You can create a much longer movie this way without taxing your machine.
Secondly, the Intel architecture has a graphics processor that offloads a lot of the heavy lifting to a video chip or video card. On a PowerPC (RISC) architecture, everything goes through the CPU.

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.

Total PC freeze when exporting from After Effects CC

Hi guys,
I'm having quite a serious problem exporting AFX files (via Media Encoder CC) and also occationaly during RAM previews.
The problem itself is fairly simple. After a varying amount of time my PC will completely freeze and become totally unresponsive. This always seems to happen on more complex scenes involving raytracing, or C4D Lite layers and sometimes just generally complex compositions. I'm forced to restart my computer losing all render progress and any unsaved progress. A couple of times the crashes have totally messed up my AFX, corrupting any open saves and corrrupting my custom panel layouts (very annoying).
I recently upgraded my PC to a fairly beefy spec primarily to cope with complex projects like these. Here are the specs from DxDiag:
System Information
Time of this report: 8/8/2013, 15:08:15
Machine name: ALPHA-ONE
Operating System: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (6.1, Build 7600) (7600.win7_gdr.130318-1532)
Language: English (Regional Setting: English)
System Manufacturer: To be filled by O.E.M.
System Model: To be filled by O.E.M.
BIOS: BIOS Date: 01/11/13 16:18:14 Ver: 04.06.05
Processor: AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core Processor (8 CPUs), ~4.5GHz
Memory: 16384MB RAM
Available OS Memory: 8090MB RAM
Page File: 4406MB used, 11773MB available
Windows Dir: C:\Windows
DirectX Version: DirectX 11
DX Setup Parameters: Not found
User DPI Setting: Using System DPI
System DPI Setting: 96 DPI (100 percent)
DWM DPI Scaling: Disabled
DxDiag Version: 6.01.7600.16385 32bit Unicode
I did notice after I had upgraded that AFX didn't support my new GFX card (Geforce 760) but I found an article that suggested a work around for this which did allow me to use the 760. I don't know if doing this is known to cause problems with renders? My GFX card has the latest drivers. I've tried disabling and enabling the GPU in AFX but either way the crashes occur. I also tried turning off/on Multicore processing as this has given me grief before. But that made no difference.
My After Effect instalation is also the latest version.
These crashes don't happen in other programs like C4D Lite (when rendering directly inside that program), or when playing recent and demanding games.
I have 16GB of RAM installed but seem to only be able to use 8GB as available memory in AFX, which also shows in the Dxdiag report. I don't think this could be causing total system freezes though and do plan on trying to fix this issue when I get time.
Thanks for any help!
-Nick.

It looks like DxDiag DOES realize that you have 16GB installed, but for some reason only 8GB is provided to the OS.
This is very odd. Since it detects the full 16GB, I doubt that your RAM is faulty/unseated/etc. If that were the case, it would not be recognized as 16GB.
What CPU and motherboard are you using? It's possible that a setting in your BIOS is to blame.
I've seen this happen before on computers with integrated graphics. They will use a portion of your system RAM as video RAM. But this is typically only 256MB-512MB at most...not a whopping 8GB!
Yeah pretty odd I know. My BIOS only reads 8GB of the RAM (doesnt mention 16GB at all I dont think), Resource Monitor and DXDIAG say 8GB of available memory and 16GB of total memory. I did Memtest 86 for 12 hours last night and whilst it came up with no RAM errors it also only detected half of my RAM anyway.
I decided to do some experimenting today and tested each 8GB stick on its own in DIMM slot A2 (the manual recommends this slot for single sticks of RAM). PC wouldnt boot at all with one of the sticks but would boot with the other. So I've left my PC with that one 8GB stick in now as I suspect the other one could be faulty. I dont know if this is the cause of my orinal problem but I plan on trying to render some of the projects that were freezing my PC before and seeing if I still get those freezes. If I don't then hurray problem solved! If I do then I'm stumped as to what the cause could be.
Oh and my motherboard/CPU are:
CPU: AMD Piledriver FX-8 8350 Black Edition 3.50GHz @ 4.60GHz CPU
Motherboard: Asus 990FX Sabertooth
I agree about the BIOS settings potentially being the problem, I plan on monday to ask the site I bought the bundle from about this and see if I can get replacement RAM and/or advice on whether there's anything specific I can do that would fix this. I tried googling the problem many times but almost every thread I come across is just people who don't realise their 32bit OS cant take more than 4GB of RAM which isn't the issue I'm having.

Is exporting from imovie to quicktime supposed to be really really slow?

I am using a Canon HV 20 camera. I have recorded some video and uploaded the videos to iMovie 08. When I try to "share" the videos using Quicktime export with these settings: H.264, 320 x 240, and 12 fps, it takes more than 345 minutes for a 15 minute video!!! Is that normal? I want to post the videos on my unit's website for viewing. (The original file size is about 6 GB.)
Can anyone tell me what the deal is?
Thanks for any help.

Is that normal?
No.
