    Seems like it's having either a RAM or Hard Drive issue. What happens if you reboot the Mac, open iMovie and then try to Share to iTunes again?

  • Im trying to bring a movie from imovie to a pc using a flash drive, but the movie file (.mov) will not play on a pc

    Im trying to bring a movie from imovie to a pc using a flash drive, but the movie file (.mov) will not play on a pc. help!

    I would like to offer you some additional hair, but I've pulled mine out as well.  I have created a slideshow of my daughter's new house (a very nice place indeed) as a house-warming gift, took all the pix myself with a throw-away camera made into CD's, imported all of the photos, cropped and enhanced with Iaza online free photo editor, re-saved the new ones to a folder, imported the selected ones into iPhoto, had the best thematic photo printed in 8x10 format, bought the black DVD's, made the MPEG-4 movie as well as the suggested exportable to iPhone, created a folder with the slides, crafted a nice playlist in iTunes, merged it all in iPhoto, but cannot successfuly export it into iDVD. The technical documentation and writing for some of this stuff is sloppy and sometimes unintelligible. The instructional videos are incomplete. The One-on-One fellow was most helpful the other day and said Apple doesn't really have or support an functional DVD creation tool and suggested I choose one or another "app" at the "app store", but the reviews for the two major ones are shallow in depth and I haven't yet sprunf for the $20-$40 download so I can re-experience the difficult learning curve. The Macintoshs I once used were incredibly intuitive; the iMac requires some study. The slideshow I have is imperfect becauae it keeps reverting to custom slide-specific choices I have decided (several times) that I do not want, but it keeps slipping back into "Ken Burns" mode and some of the photos don't work in that mode because of their format. But I will settle for less-than-perfect if I can figure out the best way to export the MPEG-4 I have created into a Maxell DVD-R some time before my daughter's toddlers aged 4 and 2 get into kindergarten.

    Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ? Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
    UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
    What this means in Your situation is above me.
    • free space on internal boot hard disk? How much ?
    Video codec
    • streamingDV, AIC etc. (not .avi, .mp4, .m4v, .wmv etc as they are containers not codecs)
    Pictures
    • in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
    Audio
    • from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
    Trash the Preference file:
    The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file
    Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
    • Library - at root level
    • Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into

    I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
    I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..

    You need more free space on your hard drive.

    After phone support from apple I ended up creating a new project and adding all 117 clips back in individually till I found out what clips flagged and would not allow me to export. I had 3 I deleted and replaced and everything works now 1hr after tedious work....
    Where do Your material come from
    • Camera
    • External hard disk
    • USB-memory
    And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?

    from Karsten S
    Shorter clips than 1,5 sec might be one of the culptrits
    Bengt cont.
    Set-Up might differ
    • Mac OS - most probably X.7 or more
    • iMovie version - more than iM'11 v. 9.0.4
    Action taken
    • Finalizing project - I never do as I never understood the gain to do so
    • Share as HD to iDVD - never give any gain but if it works the resulting DVD is less quality than if SD-quality was shared
    fps - set
    •I only use PAL (25fps)

  • How do I stop Quicktime player from auto-launching after I've exported a movie from iMovie 10?

    How do I stop Quicktime player from auto-launching after I've exported a movie from iMovie 10?
    It's really annoying for Quicktime player to auto-lauch!

    It may not be that simple David. They're using a "server" and some of the Apache software may want to launch QuickTime at boot.
    This isn't really a QuickTime question. It's a sever question best answered in those Discussion pages.

  • I'm trying to export a file as .dwg for Autocad but it's not showing the dwg preview and it appears to be saving as code (lots of gobbledegook when reopening the file).  I'm on OS 10.5.8.  Never had a problem with this before.  What am I missing? Any idea

    First be sure login and password are OK. Sometimes the address starts wit "http://..." and sometime starts with "ftp://...". Try both normal FTP access and Scure FTP access (SFTP). At the end, contact the site's provider.

  • Been trying to burn a movie onto DVD and get this "The disc can't be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media" Anybody know what it means and what to do? Help! Thanks

    Been trying to burn a movie onto DVD and get this "The disc can’t be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media" Anybody know what it means and what to do? Help! Thanks

    It generally means that the media is faulty or of poor quality. Most of us here use Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden media.
    OR
    Your Superdrive may need a clean.
    If you have further questions please state what Mac, with what versions of OS X, iMovie and iDVD you are using.

  • I cannot export my movies from iMovie since updating to Mavericks.

    I cannot export my movies from iMovie since updating to Mavericks. I can get it into Theater then it says "Creating movie" but nothing happens. I can select share movie into a file, I can pick a name, resolution and location, but it doesn't save. I get the blue circle in the top right hand corner but nothing seems to happen. iMovie used to work perfectly, I cannot believe the update has ruined it!!!!

  • Im trying to download a movie from itunes and it says i dont have enough memory. I can see that I have 13G in icloud but i dont know how to add the movie to that memory

    Hi,
    Im trying to download a movie from itunes to my ipad 2 but it says i dont have enough memory. I have 13G of space on icloud but cant figure out how to down load it to icloud. Can anyone advise please.

    Hi back,
    Icloud cannot be used to increase internal memory of ipads, otherwise nobody would buy more expensive 32, 64, 128 gigabyte versions. Hype with "movies in the cloud" is more of itunes store, keeping movies available for you in order to download on any device. That does not go against your storage in the cloud, though.
    So if you go to your computer and you purchased movie ( not rented ) you can download and watch.
    There is something else to pay attention to, your ipad (if I am not mistaken) is not capable to run HD movies, make sure you do buy Standard Definition, and they will take less space on ipad.

  • 3 attempts to export a movie from iMovie - pulling my hair out

    I have a large project in Imovie 11, mixture of video clips and photographs. I have tried 3 times to export to HD. This takes 11 hours to run  each time so you can imagine how frustrated I am!!!!  I am using the menu option SHARE, EXPORT MOVIE, and choosing HD. Like I said it takes 11 hours then I get error -49 cannot prepare movie, I have had this 3 times now so frustrated, please can anyone help me, what am I doing wrong?
    I read somewhere on this forum about running analyze video, but when I choose this the options are greyed out so I cannot choose any. Help before I jump out the window, thank you.

    Hi Geoffrey,
    Right-click (or Control-click) on one of the video clips in the project timeline. From the pop-up menu select Reveal in Finder. Now open the clip with QuickTime and select from the menu "Window > Show Movie Inspector". In the Inspector, tell us what is shown for Format and FPS (frames per second).
    It's possible that you are using an unusual video format (codec) that iMovie is having trouble with. Another possibility is that one or more of your photos is corrupted.
    One thing to try is to select from iMovie's menu "File > Optimize Video" (you mentioned Analyze Video, but that is quite different to Optimizing).
    Another suggestion is to turn off Time Machine when exporting, if you have that running.
    I may be back with other suggestions (but dish washing and wife's cuppa tea is beckoning)!

  • How do I export a movie from imovie to a particular mobileme album

    The Mobileme Gallery option in the Share menu of iMovie does not provide for exporting to a particular mobileme album. What is the best way to do this?

    You can do it any of four ways.
    1) SHARE/to iTUNES
    In this case you can right-click on the movie in iTunes and select reveal in Finder. Then open Facebook's video import page and navigate to your movie.
    2) SHARE/to Media Browser
    I don't recommend this way because it is easy to inadvertently mess up an important file if you don't know what you are doing. But if you want to, you can find your movie inside the project RCPROJECT package in the movies folder.
    Then open Facebook's video import page and navigate to your movie.
    3) SHARE/to Movie
    You will get a dialog box allowing you to save the movie to a place of your choice. You can upload it to youtube from there.
    4) SHARE/Export to QuickTime. Here you can customize the setting of your video. Unless you have a great deal of knowledge about video and audio codecs, use the above options, which create great results for Facebook.

  • How can I export a movie from iMovie onto a memory stick?

    I am unable to load my movie onto a memory stick. The movie is about 80minutes long or just under 12gigabites. I tried loading it first onto a 16g and couldn't then on a 32g and kept getting the same message: The file format was too big to fit on that memory stick. Is there a special storage device that I need to use?

    I thought I did, but looks like I didn't. Key word is "Partition." Then hit apply.
    Got it to work.
    Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you're my hero BobRz
