Imove will not finish exporting help...

Imovie stops when exporting to HD in imovie. I have plenty hard drive space. Just in the last two minutes. Other projects work fine when exporting..

my issue is a little different. I just got back from a big trip so I had a lot of HD footage. Had to stop importing due to not having enough space. I moved all other movies to an External hard drive but I still only have 2G left of space. It will not allow me to export all the already edited movie footage stating the same thing. Not enough space even on the external hard drive. If I get tetra external drive will this solve my problem or am I doing something wrong?
I have IMovie 08, Macbook does not burn DVD's have to use external DVD burner and Toast Titanium. I currently can not even upgrade my computer with updates because there is no space. I do not want to lose what I already edited. What is the best solution for me?

  • Keynote 08 will not finish export to quicktime, or share with any apps

    I have a presentation that I am using a smartbuild (160 photos) that will not finish exporting to quicktime, or share with youtube or iweb/idvd, etc. It saved once out of twenty attempts. It freezes up around the last photo in the smartbuild then quits unexpectedly. Any tips?

    The other work around that I've found is to tell it "send to iDVD" but then quit iDVD when it pops that up. You'll end up with just the quicktime file it created.
    What I noticed is that when a "quicktime export" plays in QT, it has a fps rate of like 7 or 8 or even 13 but the dynamic "playing fps" goes up to 30 during transitions and back to 0 when there isn't a transition. At least with the iDVD cheat you end up with 24 fps. That may work for some people, that is film rate, but I'm in need of NTSC DV 29.97. So I import it into Final Cut Express, and do an export conversion.
    I don't use audio, so I don't know how that would work in this cheat, but since your voiceover (I'm guessing based on trying to put music to my slides) is one entire track, you can add that in FCE before that export and line it up there.
    If anyone else has suggestions to get a 29.97 export correct with the "export to quicktime", I'd love to hear it. This cheat takes too long for my work.

  • I just updated the iPad IOS and it will not finish. HELP

    I just updated the iPad IOS to 8.3 and it will not finish the install it has been stuck for over 24 hours. I plug it into the Mac and the computer says that the iPad must give me access which of course I can't. So I can not do a hard reboot. help

    If it's stuck on the progress bar then you could try a soft-reset and see if that gets it to complete : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should reappear and it will hopefully reboot fully.
    If not then try recovery mode and restore to your backup : If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

  • Clips imported into iMovie will not play: Please Help!

    I have been working on a project in iMovie for awhile now and I have a few different clips imported into it. I have not had a problem with it before yesterday. I went to import another clip and for some reason I got error message "-43" that said it could not copy the files into iMovie. Then today when I opened iMovie to try again, all the clips that had been imported already were grayed out and a little yellow warning sign was in the bottom left hand corner of each clip display (yellow triangle with ! in the middle). They would not play.
    It is not the clips though- they work fine when I open them in quicktime and iPhoto.
    I don't know if this is ay significance, but this morning before the clips stopped working iMovie made new thumbnails- could this be any reason why it isn't working?
    Can anyone help with this problem? I don't know what happened!

  • IMovie will NOT let me add any video!  Help!

    I just need to edit an avi, and iMovie will NOT allow me to add any video footage any way I attempt to.
    It says drag media here-- won't let me.
    I use import movie from file-- it says it's doing it, but it doesn't.
    What is going on with this program??
    The ONLY footage I've been able to add is when it pops up my laptop's camera and I capture that way. I've got the file on my computer already.
    Somebody please help me.

    iMovie '08 will only allow you to to import files containing compression formats that can be edited. If you AVI file won't import, it likely means that the audio and/or video data is not editable. To import it, you will have to first convert it to any of the acceptable compression formats. For video this means DV, AIC, M-JPEG, Photo-JPEG, MPEG-4, or H.264. For audio this may include DV, AIFF, AAC, Unsigned Integer, Uncompressed, etc. This means that files with adaptive PCM (ADPCM) -- a very common AVI audio compression format for digital cameras -- will not import.
    The ONLY footage I've been able to add is when it pops up my laptop's camera and I capture that way. I've got the file on my computer already.
    Files imported directly from a video camcorder is automatically converted to "edit" compatible compression formats using non-QT routines built into the iMovie '08 application. Files already on your hard drive are brought in (imported) via the Finder and as such, bypass the special camcorder routines since the application assumes you will only import files that are edit compatible "natively" -- i.e., are in the compression format in which you actually want to do your editing. (For example, a person who wants to edit in DV would likely be upset if the application switched to M-JPEG or MPEG-4 editing behind the user's back for some reason.)

    I get as far as what appears to be restoring my phone then when the software has downloaded, iTunes insists on my phone accepting it's access. I had carried out this action two weeks ago when I had the same issue on my phone and managed to restore it successfully, but it isn't happening now. I have updated iTunes to the latest version since the last time, and also my iPhone to the latest version.  I have had endless trouble with this phone so having gone through all the steps suggested in various forums it is clear that it is an issue with the phone, not helped by the recent iOS and iTunes updates with stricter security.

  • IMovie will not import or play the clips at the proper speed and the audio and video do not match up.

    i have a samsung hd camcorder. it records at 40 fps, but iMovie will not play the clips at the proper speed and the audio and video do not match up. I have tried to record at standard quality to no avail. Help. thanks in advance.

    im guessing that is the speed it records at due to the fact imovie puts a blue 40 at the top left corner of every clip i import.

  • IPad syncing will not finish

    My iPad will not finish syncing.  It has been on step 7 of 7 for hours and still says "Waiting for items to copy".  This has been a consistent problem for about a month... sometimes the final step is syncing music and sometimes photos or movies, regardless it seems like it alwasy stalls out on the final step of the syncing process.  It's possible that It hasn't worked since moving to iOS 5 upgrade.  It appears that everything is correctly moving from laptop to iPad... but I have to eject iPad to make it stop syncing and some of my apps are crashing too.  Any ideas?

    If you are syncing over WiFi - rather than ejecting the iPad - just try quitting iTunes if the sync will not finish. Restart your computer, and restart the iPad and see if that helps.
    I had a similar problem and that is what worked for me.
    The other thing that I have noticed - and maybe this is the wrong way to do this - but with WiFi syncing on my iPad - if I eject the device after the sync - iTunes does not want to recognize the device again when I relaunch iTunes. If I just quit iTunes after I sync, I have no problems with my iPad being recognized in iTunes when I launch it again.

  • HT202358 iPhoto Library Upgrader will stops in the middle of operation and will not finish. Now what?

    I downloaded iPhoto Library upgrader, installed and attempted to use it. It stops in the middle of operation and will not finish. Now I cannot open my iPhoto Library! I'm freaking out a little. When I try to open iPhoto, it tells me I need to "prepare it" with the upgrader program. When I select iPhoto Library as the Library I want to upgrade, it tells me I don't need to upgrade it and should be able to open it with iPhoto. Ugh. Help??

    If your photos have any value to you you should have an ongoing backup program - TimeMachine is a good first choice
    For this purpose simply duplicating the iphoto library is adequate since you are not trying to protect against human or hardware failures - just against a rare rebuild issue

  • Safari will not properly Export as PDF. Files have zero bytes.

    Safari will not properly Export as PDF. Files have zero bytes.

    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that didn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

  • IMovie Will Not Play/Add Authorized iTunes Purchases

    Hi all,
    I'm having an issue with iMovie regarding adding music to my project. iMovie will not add any music that I have purchased through iTunes.
    Briefly, the background: I just bought a new MacBook Pro the other day, and transferred all my iTunes music from my iMac via FireWire yesterday.
    Today I'm working on a movie of a vacation I just took, and wanted to add a file from iTunes. When I went to do that, it said I'm not authorized to play it on this computer. So I went into iTunes & authorized my computer; it said that I was successful, and I have authorized a total of 2 out of 5 machines.
    I even restarted my computer & rebooted iMovie, but it still says I'm not authorized to play this content on this computer, even though iTunes is still saying that it is now authorized. Somehow they're not communicating with each other or something.
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
    Thanks,
    ~Scott
    UPDATE: Actually I jumped the gun... I tried playing the file I want to add to iMovie in iTunes, and it keeps bugging me to authorize the computer to play it; so I put in my username/password, and the thing says "OK, you're authorized now, this is 2 machines out of 5 that are authorized," but then I try playing it again in iTunes, and it starts over saying I'm not authorized to play it on this computer. Soooooooo aggravating!! Any pointers PLEASE?? Thanks!
