Imovie 2011 error - 108 when exporting

Hi there,
i have a macbook air 2011, 128gb (60 gb free) 4gb memory, mac os 10 7.3 lion.
Don’t have TimeMachine (didn’t even set up TimeMachine for the first time)
When trying to export a 720p file (regular export) in imovie
(Estimated file size 2.6gb, 30 fps, H.264)
The mac reaches the last ten minutes (after working two hours) of export and then stops and says cannot complete project: error – 108 occurred.
Imovie can export fine a large size movie but not higher.
already tried:
1. duplicating project, renaming project
2. tweaking with “Lion cache cleaner” (repair permissions, optimize RAM & Files)
3. Shutting down
Next logical step would be to clean the cache, no?
Does anyone have a solution?
TIA

As a guess, try right-clicking on your Event and see if it allows you to Optimize Media. If it does, choose Optimize - Full.
Your export should now work.

Error 108 when exporting in Master file

My project is a 2-hours multicam edit. And I have this error 108 when I go to the Final Cut Pro X share menu and select "Master files" (Fichier Master" en français).
After a certain period of time, an alert will appear with this number.
What I don't get is why it's working when exporting with the other entries from this Share Menu !
Ps : I saw that this question was replied quite a time ago, but the given solutions don't work for me.
(Mac Pro (Mid 2010) - OS X 10.8.4 - memory - 16 Go - FCP X 10.0.9)

My project is 1920 x 1080 - 25i - surround - 48 khz
When I use the export menu, it is said Video Codec : Source is Apple ProRes 422
RAM is 16 Go - Hard Drives have plenty of room avail.
As you might know this problem is known but never found any help. some say it's a bug...

Error -108 when exporting a quicktime movie

I can not export a project because every time FCP X interrupt the process with a -108 error. Why apple does not give us a clue what the error could be? anyone knows what´s happening? I trashed the render files and does not work

You are talking about "export media" not share ? I have had this error when trying to use share but never when using export media. Delete preferences is a good start. http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/

Imovie 09 Error (-50) When Exporting?

Just made a video and it pops up "Cannot export due to unknown error (error-50)" or something to that extent. How can I fix this???
Its in iMovie '09.

Hi
Error -50 paramErr Error in user parameter list
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.
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 ?
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
from Luke Burns
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..
Klaus1
You need more free space on your hard drive.
Where do Your material come from
Camera
External hard disk
USB-memory
And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?
from: jonorparkerjon
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....
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 this as I never understood what is the gain of doing 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) (as I'm in EU)
Standard things to do that might help
First I do - Start iMovie - BUT KEEP Shift-key down during Up-Start
Then I try - Trashing iMovie Pref and Cache files (alt. create a new user and log into this)
Then I repair Permissions and Hard Disk (Disk Util tool)
Then I repair iPhoto Library (iMovie is dependant up on that this is OK)

Osstatus error -108 when exporting slideshow ... what does this mean?

I googles this and can't find anyone who has had it. How can you find out without being an operating systems developer!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What happens to the slideshow other than giving you this error. Don't know what it means. However, several users have reported iPhoto crashing when trying to export a slideshow. You might search this forum for that to see if you're experiencing something similar. As far as I know there was no fix found.
Be sure to report it to Apple via via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

OS Status error -9459 when exporting slideshow

I've put together a 17 minutes slideshow in iPhoto using the scrapbook theme. I've received this error twice now - once when using the default "display" size export to mp4 and a different time when using a more customized export to .mov using no compression.
After the first error, I rebooted and the export worked. I am trying a reboot again to see if I can export again with the new settings.
Anyone know why I'm getting this error and what it means?
"The operation couldn't be completed.
(OSStatus error -9459.)"

You may have a damaged library. Try the following: backup and launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed to rebuild the library. Select the last three options.

This topic has considerable discussion on that particular error message and possible fixes: Error 9459 Potential Fix
Also Apearl reported in this topic, http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11195681#11195681, setting the Energy Saver to never sleep would avoid that error message when exporting the slideshow. Not a fix, but a workaround.
Also if you search the iPhoto forum for 9459 you'll find many more topics covering the problem and some potential fixes.

IMovie share error -108?

iMovie share error -108? I cant Share

Hi
Error -108 memFullErr Ran out of memory [not enough room in heap zone]
Turn off - TimeMachine usually works - re-try.
(the Application down in the Dock - not the Device)
But this can mean many thing's - My first thought is
• Free Space on Start-Up hard disk. How much ? (other disks do not count)

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.
