Help! "An Unknown Error Has Occured'
Help! I've spend hours putting together a slideshow/movie in iMovie and have run into a problem that I can't seem to fix. I can no longer place any transitions between clips. I either get an "Unknown error" message, or the transitions (or any other changes, for that matter) won't render. They just hang there with the red bar looking like it's completed the process, but hasn't. Then, in order to exit, I have to stop the rendering process altogether. I've deleted the plist, but that didn't do anything. I've relaunched iMovie a bunch of times, and have even restarted the computer as well, just to see if that would help...no luck.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated. I'm on a deadline and have lots left to do!
Thanks for the suggestions. I am using a new Intel iMac and iMovie 6, both for the first time, so have had no previous files of any sort to import. In fact, I've never had any previous version of iMovie on my computer.
In spite of it being new, be sure to look in the folders that were mentioned in that link for any third-party iMovie plug-ins and QuickTime add-ons. They may be there and may be causing trouble.
Stuff may have also been transferred from your old Macs to the new if you used Migration Assistant to transfer files.

Any additional thoughts on the matter?
There's sufficient free disk space, right? If iMovie can't find the disk space it needs it won't be able to render the transitions.
You might try creating a new user account. If the problem disappears when running iMovie as that user, there's a software conflict affecting you as the user.
Here's a Topic with a similar, but different problem:

"The iPod could not be restored.An unknown error has occurred (1418)" Help!
Hope someone can please help me.
iTunes is asking me to restore my iPod, but an error occurs each time. This is the chain of events.
1) I connected my iPod to iTunes and it asked if I wanted to update iPod software. I clicked yes.
2) The iPod then changed from a colour screen to a monochrome screen.
3) I then had problems with my USB Connection/Driver which I have now resolved.
4) My iPod asked me to connect to iTunes and restore.
5) I connect to iTunes and the following message appears
"iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes" So I clicked the restore button.
6) The restore progresses until the following message appears
"The iPod 'iPod' could not be restored. An unknown error has occurred. (1418).
Basically I have read everything I could get my hands on to try and solve but nothing seems to work.
Really looking forward to some solution.
Cheers.

HT4061 Help with Restore error message "An unknown error has occurred (2006)"
My iphone 4s stopped working suddenly today - I have tried to restore it but am getting an error message every time that says "An unknown error has occurred (2006)" - does anyone know what I can do please?
Hello Miranda,
The following article contains information that may help get your iPhone restored.
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
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. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.
All the best,
