IMovie Export freeze on IOS Iphone5 any answers?

Used imovie once before and worked fine including on export. This second 6second clip will not export. I select lowest quality upon export, export process begins but doesn't seem to start. It just freezes on "Exporting".

Same here. Have exported a handful of movies before..faced this issue for the first time a few days ago. What footage are you trying to edit and export? (E.g. Shot with camera app, other social media apps like Snapchat, Vine, Instagram?)
I did some troubleshooting..
I was putting together all saved videos from Snapchat.. no luck. Export screen comes up, but progress bar doesn't move.
Mixed some footage in there shot with actual iPhone camera app.. no luck.
Removed all Snapchat footage.. it worked straight away.
BUT ... it would make sense if I didn't just compile a bunch of Snapchat vids a few weeks ago and export them just fine?
So it's something to do with the actual footage I assume?

IMovie '08 freezes up...any way to save backup working files?

I'm really frustrated at losing projects and having to spend countless hours rebuilding them. On two separate occasions, iMovie has gotten "stuck" on launch and only shows partial screens and is inoperable. I found a thread where several other people were having this problem also. The remedy for me was removing my projects from the projects folder and then it will launch and operate fine, make new projects and functions normally. However, the original project somehow got corrupted, and when moved back into the projects folder, it freezes up iMovie. All previously uploaded/imported raw events are still available and fine, once I remove the culprit projects.
I have installed all updates for iMovie, iLife '08, and iSupport. I also have removed several strategic preferences and cache files from the library, to no avail. One user reported success at making a new user account, logging in to that account, and copying the iMovie application to the shared folder, then logging back into the primary account and replacing the application. Didn't work for me.
I am wondering if there is any way to save the project files like the older version iMovie HD? That way, I could save a back up copy of the working file somewhere and hopefully be able to use it, in the event that my project becomes corrupt. The project files don't have any extension. In iDVD, you are able to save a project in progress (to any location) and reopen it any time to make edits. In iMovie '08 there is no option to "open" an existing project, only start a new one. This seems very strange to me.
I'm about to give up on iMovie '08, I see that many people are experiencing bugs and I'm tired of having to spend countless hours redoing work.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried them unsuccessfully. No worries, I've resigned to the fact that iMovie '08 is a POS, learned from doing some research, talking with tech support, and reading many other discussions. Why else would they offer a special iMovie 06 HD version for Leopard. Besides, much of the past functionality is now gone.
I've downloaded and will use the HD version until I purchase Final Cut. Users beware, iMovie 08 is sketchy.

IMovie clips freezing/stuttering while editing in playback & after exporting to Quicktime

I've been working with iMovie since 2003 and if its not one thing, its always another. This particular problem is a new one, and I can't seem to find the get around. Any advice would be appreciated!
Working on a wedding video (large event size but only 6-8 minute project) and the clips are freezing/stuttering in the project and viewer windows when I try to play them back. Each time it freezes, I get the spinning wheel for 5-10 seconds before I can place my marker and try again. Endless cycle. This happened in a few other projects, but those I was able to edit out the freezing clips OR found that exporting to Quicktime seemed to smooth out the glitches, just made editing a pain.
Not this time. Even after exporting to Quicktime, there are still numerous glitches in my quicktime movies (using default and numerous other settings).
Here are the things I've tried: reinstalling my iLife 09 software, running all the updates, clearing off my hard drive (to give me 70+GB of space), detaching my external hard drive and only using internal memory, restarting, and deleting the plists. No luck, still have these glitches.
Could this be an issue with audio or using the stabilization option (used that for the first time)?

.. 90min movie .. share to iDVD .. iMovie would freeze and be unresponsive.. .exporting to QuickTime .. 13 hours .. random stills .. iMovie will freeze ..
Would putting all of the clips and the project on an external hard drive help? Would updating to OS 10.5.8 help exporting to QuickTime?
plus your profile, MacBook, indicates to me, your internal harddrive is full.
check with DiskUtility, how many partitions your internal drive has.
check, how much free disk space internal you offer your apps.
imho, extHDD is a MUST when editing video..
.. is there any way to move our already edited clips from iM09 to iM06?
use 'Export using Quicktime', choose dv-stream (for SD content) or AppleIntermediate (for HD content) - these are the only codecs, iMHD6 reads..
this export consolidate the project => it comes into iMHD6 as a single solid file, e.g. no more editing of titles, which are now 'burned into film'.
_consider to create a special 'transfer'-version of your project:_
in Project Browser, select project, ctrl-click, 'duplicate', and create a pre-production version (no titles, no music, additional material for further editing, longer clips to add transitions in iMHD6.. ect)

I created an iMovie. When I try to export it crashes. Can any one walk me through the problem. In 3 hours, my mom's 80th b'day is taking place and this was one of the gifts.

All of the Spry files are missing and the basic_fs.css. It's a long list. If you use Chrome or Safari, you can view source (Safari) or Inspect Element (Chrome) and under Resources you will see the missing files highlighted.

My iMessage and facetime is not working after updating to ios 7... My ipad works perfectly and it's the same apple id. Any answers or reasons why on the iPhone 5 is not working???

My iMessage and facetime is not working after updating to ios 7...
Any answers on how to fix it? I've tried to restart, restore connected to itunes, but nothing.

ACTIVATING FACETIME AND IMESSAGES
Activating Facetime and Imessages on your phone requires the ability to send SMS messages and depending upon where you are that might be an international SMS. Check with your carrier to see if your plan supports sending of international SMS messages. If you are having trouble activating Facetime or Imessages turn them both off on your device and reset the device (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost)). Wait for the device to restart and wait a minute and turn Facetime and imessage back on and wait for activation. If that does not fix things read the following articles:

"no access to the digital certificate" - Trying to export my first iOS app from Flash - Help please

Hello
I'm trying to export my first iOS app from flash to my desktop / on the device (Flash Pro CC, Iphone5)
I followed the instructions on the adobe website to build an air app for iOS but on the last step it
doesn't export the app.
What I've done so far:
- Apple developer account
- creating the certificate + convert it to .p12
- app ID / Name etc.
- creating the provisioning profile from apple
- iOS Air app in flash (Only Text "Hello world" with a tween)
Now i have to load the certificates into Flash & enter a password (is it the password that
i entered in the certificate or from my developer account/ Apple ID password? Both didn't work at the end)
When i klick on publish in the last step than it loads a while but then i get the Error:
"no access to the digital certificate"
What is wrong? Can you help me please.

Also, I should say, when I go into my phone on the computer and try to install an app, I get this message:
Unable to start operation. Installer is already in use.
Any ideas

IMovie exports only sound to camera

Good evening everybody!
In the past I successfully exported projects to my camera.
For the first time I got this problem: iMovie exports the sound, but freezes the first frame of the movie and leaves it at that.
I tried it in two ways: by "send to camera" and by "show video on camera monitor" and simply pushing the "record" button of the camera.
When I loaded a different movie and did exactly the same thing, all went well.
Back to my new film: the same again.
What's different with my new film?
Has anybody got an idea? I'd appreciate any help!

Hello Sir Torsten,
Glad you got it to work. I really think that Apple never intended for us to make long complex movies...I think they though iMovie would be a fun app to make short little entertaining movies so they didn't carefully investigate all the nuances before releasing it.
For the most part, iMovie has worked great for most people. Just reading these discussions you can get some idea of the various projects that are being created and it is really remarkable from such a simple program. And, the other fantastic thing to remember is that so many of the problems we encounter DO have solutions or work-arounds!
BTW, it is now cooler and wetter here, too

Flip camera inputs fine, exports freeze

Flip Camera files input fine to iMovie HD 6, and they play fine. Trouble is, the exports freeze a few minutes into the movie.

I hope this info will help you ,
a weak ago i needed to cut with multicam 2 camera footage format AVCHD , each footage was 1 HOUR Long (1080@50i).
when both footage was on my raid 0, multicam didnt run smooth.
i plug to my computer addtional external hard disk (eSATA) and paste one of the camera to it.
the multicam was running much more smoother , meanning (i just think so ) when each camera is on seperated phiysical HD ,multicam can run faster.
notice that avchd format is quiet complex for any NLE compare to XDCAM or HDV .

IMovie keeps freezing on editing

I just got my macbook pro a week ago, brand new but for the past few days my iMovie keeps freezing up whenever i try to edit a video, or scroll through a clip. I can't use the option-command-escape to force quit because it doesn't work, and i can't click on any of the other apps or icons. The only way was to hold down the power button and restart my laptop. Even after restarting, it still does the same thing, freezes up in the middle of editing or scrolling, then i have to shut down and restart my laptop again. I've googled for ways to deal with it but none of them seem to work. Can someone please tell me how to fix it? I had no problems editing, importing and exporting from my old macbook white, and neither from my new macbook pro in the beginning but it's getting really frustrating that i have to reboot every single time and i feel like that would ruin the laptop as it's brand new.

Bengt W,
I appreciate your help. Yes, all my photo and videos are originating from iPhoto '11 (that is how my camera imports). I did exactly as you describe above and I was able to complete the movie and make a DVD that I needed for Christmas?   SO that was great. And I greatly appreciate your time and efforts to make that happen.
However, we are back to the same problems and nothing seems to fix these movies now and they are still doing the same thing described above. I am so discouraged that I just have not done anything more until recently.
Yesterday, iPhoto just disappeared. I had iMovie open overnight. The next day the iPhoto icon had a circle with a diagonal line and when I clicked on the icon "Damaged or corrupted ..." was the message. I checked Finder and there was no longer an iPhoto application!   I reinstalled iPhoto from my DVD and did updates but only got to version 9.2.3. Then I noted in the Apple store there is a version 9.4.2. But I cannot get that version because it requires OS 10.7.5 but I have 10.6.8. Similar problem with iMovie, I have version 9.0.4 and the newest is 9.0.8.
I have watched the "reviews" of these new OS, iPhoto, and iMovie.   They are getting hammered by users with a wide range of problems and low ratings. If that were not the case I would just pay the money and see if upgrading the OS and these apps would help. Frankly, I don't have any confidence it would. I about to declare my two year experiment with Apple as a failure and that is very sad because I've invested hundreds of hours trying to make/keep their software working.   Ultimately the market place will decide but recent user feedback sure seems to point to some ugly outcomes.   Sorry for my rant but Apple should not impose on folks like you who are so giving to overcome their product shortcomings.

I have iOS7 on my iPhone4. I turned on the Voice Over option and now my phone is not working at all. At first it was freezing and not accepting any commands. Now all I have is a blank sceen. I can't get back into it. Any ideas what happened here?

IMovie 09 freezes each time I open the project I'm working on. Help?

iMovie 09 freezes each time I open the project I'm working on. It has worked perfectly fine the past week, but now it won't load different aspects of the screen. For example, when I role over the screen the video will play in the small play back screen, but I can't actually see the film strip or make any changes. Any suggestions? I need to finish this video for work - would love any help!

Try trashing iMovie's preference file. See this User Tip by AppleMan1958:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4061
The Tip relates to iMovie '11. For iMovie '09 the preference file is named "com.apple.iMovie8.plist" and will be found in your Home folder Library/Preferences (NOT the Library folder at the top level in Macintosh HD).

IMovie: exporting to Google Video/mp3 issue

I would like to export an iMovie project to a format that Google Video accepts. Google Video prefers mpeg 4 video with mp3 audio. iMovie "expert settings" allows mpeg 4 export, but the only audio options for this are AAC or "none". Does anyone know how I can either:
- Add some type of plugin or installable codec that enables mp3 audio with mpeg 4 video as an iMovie export option?
- What software to use to convert from another iMovie export format to mpeg4/mp3?
I currently own Toast 6 and standard Quicktime.
Any advice much appreciated!

"MPeg Streamclip" is a free download. Get it and install it in your applications folder. It is a totally great application for doing all kinds of conversions. Export your iMovie project to Quicktime format. Then fire up MPeg Streamclip and drag your quicktime movie to the pane and drop it. Go to 'File' drag to 'Export to MP4' and another screen will open up. Choose "iPod" this setting works great for the Google videos. Trust the settings chosen by Streamclip. It may take a while to convert, but when finished, you wil be able to upload to the Google video upload page. You may want to do this before going to bed. It wil be ready when you get up! I have 4 videos on the Google site. I did all four by using "MPeg Streamclip" My latest upload is "Feather Falls 2006" Check it out and good luck
