IMovie stopped working in export

I purchased an iMac last year. iMovie seemed to be fine in the past year, though I only used it for a few times. However, it stopped working last night when I exported it. After clicking "export", it showed "preparing project". Unfortunateky, just in 2 seconds, iMovie window disappeared and another window popped up asking me to click either "ignore, report or reopen" due to an error I could not figure out. I tried several times and it still failed!
I found similar questions were asked by many users online. However, it seemed that nothing worked. I contact tech support in Apple and was told that it would charge about $20 for service, though it was not guaranteed to fix the problem. Ridiculous!!
I really appreciate your kindness to help me in this issue.

Have you tried deleting iMovie's preference file?
Close iMovie. Go to your Home file (YourUserName)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.imovie8.plist
Drag this plist file to the Trash. Don't worry, iMovie will create a new fresh one when you relaunch it. (If you also have iMovie 6 on your drive, its plist file will also be there, but it will say only imovie.plist without a number. Be sure you trash the correct one).
Reopen iMovie and see if it works ok now.

Premiere Pro CC Stopped Working while exporting

I've been working on Premiere Pro CC since 2 months without any issue. I made a multicam sequence this time as we had a project with 3 cams and edited it well. Everything went well until we exported it. While exporting it, premiere suddenly stops working in between. Tried exporting in a queue, using Adobe Media Encoder, same happens there stops suddenly and says a problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
I'm having videos from 3 cameras, 50i AVCHD footage. Audio from Zoom H1
Kindly help.
I have tried going on Software only as well as have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Nothing worked so far. Please please help.. It suddenly stops working at about 45%..
I'm on a Windows 64bit machine with 8gb ram, Nvidia graphics card(drivers updated), Intel i3-3220.
EDIT : I tried re-exporting one of my previous projects, and it renders well..

I'm encoding the sequence in AME itself. While watching the clip when encoding it, I saw where it stops and changed the clip there. With luck, this time the encoding continued. But another problem arises, at the last of the first pass. I mean at the very end of the encoding of the first VBR Pass the encoding stops and says failed. I clicked and got a note
- Encoding Time: 01:19:32
09/11/2014 03:47:42 PM : Encoding Failed
A low-level exception occurred in: Colorista II (AEVideoFilter)

I do have HD Images in my sequence.. How do i overcome this error now?

IMovie stopped working please help!

the new version of iMovie i just downloaded two days ago has stopped working, it will not even open, how do i fix this??

Can you create a new user account on your Mac, and see if iMovie works properly from the new account?
If so, trashing preferences might work. See my post here.

Why does iMovie stop working after a set number of photos?

I have struggled through 3 Photo Storys so far using iMovie, only to be thrwated by the same problem every time! There are hundreds of photos to add, to give you an idea I'm at 11 minutes 44 seconds with 1 second transitions and 4 second photos.
At the same point each time the iMovie project allows photos to be dropped in but are represented by black thumbnails. On playing the movie they are then replaced with previous photos, looped several times. It seems that Apple have put in a maximum limit of photos?
Answers to questions I'm preguessing:
1:     I use iMovie for this because I can use transitions, text etc which is far better than the slideshows that iPhoto create.
2:     The images are no imported in to iPhoto as they are school pictures. Therefore they are stored locally and dragged in to place when needed.
3:     I use Mac OS X Lion and the latest available version of iLife '11.
4:     320gb of free space!
5:     No music in the movie but that doesn't seem to make a difference (First two had sound, third did not).
6:     All images used are JPEG, no CR2 etc...
7:     No files are stored on the network and are only linked locally.

I'm having this problem as well. In my case I'm getting partial 0 byte files, sometimes with temporary hex file names with the .mp4 extension.
I copied the whole library (which was new and only contained one project) over to my laptop, where export then went just fine. I've also been having other QuickTime related issues. You can help pin this down with a few tests:
Open a short .mov video (best taken on iPhone, import with Image Capture) in QuickTime X. Attempt to export to 480p. Does QT crash?
Try to import the same .mov video in iPhoto 9.5.x. Does it import normally to iPhoto? Or do you get "unrecognized format" errors?
Do you see any crash logs for ProTranscoderTool_sb in Console?
If you search for iMovie in console, do you find any lines that mention problems with these files?:
/Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/FCP-DAL/iOSScreenCapture.plugin/Contents/MacOS/iOS ScreenCapture
"The bundle “iLMBPhotosPlugin” couldn’t be loaded because it is damaged or missing necessary resources."
/Library/Application Support/iLifeMediaBrowser/Plug-Ins/iLMBPhotosPlugin.ilmbplugin/Contents/MacOS/i LMBPhotosPlugin
I also wonder if there's any conflict/issue with FCP being installed. Not very helpful but see this link:

iMovie 10.0 not sharing

Everytime i share and go to idvd my imovie stops working. my video is only 2.29 mins long btw

i need it for friday the 5th

Hi
Try - not use "Share to iDVD" - BUT - "Share to Media Browser" and as Large Not HD or other resolution
Then Close iMovie
Open iDVD and start a Brand New Project
Here import movie from Media button (down right) and Movies.
then when all is in place - Save as a DiskImage
test this with DVD-player tool - still OK ?
burn this with Disk Util tool and set burn speed to x2 or x4
Now first insert blank DVD - WHEN ASKED to do so

ImporterProcessServer.exe has stopped working...sound familiar?

Ok, I've read most if not all of the posts on this subject and this same issue is happening to me. I've tried the different solutions offered as well to little or no avail. Here is my story.
ImporterProcessServer.exe stops working during export using Adobe Media Encoder. I have a project that is 44 minutes in duration and the process stops at approximately halfway through the process each time. On smaller projects, duration of approximately 15 minutes or less the Encoder functions properly. At one point during time line render I would also get ImporterProcessServer error also but that seems to have subsided. Regardless of the project source clips DV, Blackmagic, or P2 formats I get the error on export or timeline render.
Here are my computer stats
Intel Dual Core E5420
64 Bit Vista SP2 Business Edition
ATI Radeon x300/x500/x1050
Serial ATA 250 GB drive for OS and Adobe Software
Serial ATA 1.5 TB raid 5 array for clip storage
24 GB Ram
Premiere CS4 version 4.1.0
Adobe Media Encoder version 4.4.107
Blackmagic Design HD Extreme Capture Card Driver Vers. 7.2 64 bit
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Vista several times, even flattening HD and starting over.
Uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe CS4 same if not more times than the Vista OS
I was using CS3 on XP and didn't experience this issue, and to avoid the cute response I will get; no I'm not going back to CS3 and XP thank you. That ship has sailed and can't re-create all the CS4 projects in CS3.
So to sum up, yes I am yet another person with the same persistant ImporterProcessServer.exe problem. Yes, there are alot of us out here, many more than the ones that post. I waited months before posting, searching for an answer. Based on my experience and others I have read about, I feel many more would join the discussion if they weren't so fed up with frustration. So if Adobe is out there lurking on this forum, I say "Hi, how ya doing?" This software suite is expensive and I need to be productive to stay employed. Please help us! We're out here struggling to use your product.
Of course if anyone else has a positive constructive contribution to my post please send it along.
Thanks

Of course if anyone else has a positive constructive contribution to my post please send it along.
I wish that I did, especially with so well-written a post. Unfortunately, I only have a couple of questions, and they might have zero bearing on your issue:
1.) what is the free space available on your C:\ (the 250GB SATA, I assume)?
2.) is there anything different at about the halfway point in your Timeline (around where the error occurs)? *
3.) since the error occurs with different media, and different Capture, is the timing of the error pretty constant for all of these longer Sequences? [From your info, it seems that it is.]
That shorter Sequences do not yield the error, but longer ones do, I'm thinking that there might be some link to the Duration.
* However, with different media, I would assume that your Sequences would be rather different from one another, just longer than the Sequences that perform correctly.
Again, wish I had some answers for you. Just grasping at straws here. As we all know, there is little, if any Adobe presence here.
Good luck,
Hunt

IDVD Stops Responding when Exporting from iMovie

I'm using iDVD and iMovie (from iLife 06 and fully up to date) on a MacPro (also up to date on all software, MacOSX, Quicktime etc).
This proceedure has worked before several times but now results in a non-responding iDVD every time I try it, including an archive and re-install and a complete new install of OSX and all software on a new partition.
What I'm doing.....
[1] Recording a TV programme on EyeTV (410) and exporting it to iMovie - sucessful every time
[2] Edit the iMove project and add chapter markers and save project - no problem.
[3] Export to iDVD - iDVD shows exporting in progress and whilst this is still showing iDVD launches
[4] iDVD starts playing the music from a std theme for a few seconds and then stops. Then resumes the music after resizing the window and then after a couple of more seconds freezes. From the Dock I can see that iMove and iDVD are "not responding"
[5] Eventually iMovie completes it's "export" and then starts responding normally. iDVD continues to show as non responding although I can move the window around the screen. I have to force quit iDVD to get it to close down.
I have tried:
Re-exporting the project from EyeTV
Deleting the preferences files for iMove and iDVD
Deleting the iLife suite and re-installing
Doing an OSX archive and re-install
Installing a fresh OSX (10.4.8) on a different drive and installing fresh software
Running Disk Utility - clean bill of health on both drives
Repaired permissions
The Console reports the following errors when exporting from iMove to iDVD:

Result - problem persists. I'm at a loss as what to do next. Any suggestions greatfully received.

Yes, tried that when I deleted the preferences. Disk Utility did not report any permissions needed repairing.
What really mystifies me is that this export to iDVD did work once and I expected it to resume once I'd created a fresh OSX install along with all the iLife apps on a new partition, but it remained the same!
Perhaps there is some sort of other software conflict going on? I have Adobe CS2, MS Office, Toast and FMP installed all are latest editions. On the utilities front I have installed Stuffit Deluxe, Internet Cleanup, Contour USB controller for video editing and a LogicTech wireless trackball. Again all the drivers are the latest releases.
Does anyone know if there are any preferences associated with the other not responding applications listed in my other post that I could try the delete-reboot trick on?

Voiceover recording in iMovie has stopped working.

My voiceover narration in iMovie 11 has stopped worked. It worked initially and then stopped working. I have tried headseat mike and internal mike and checked the audio setting when using them in voiceover. When i record narration, the audio is registering in the voice meter, the red progress bar passes over the part of the iMovie where I am recording. When I do playback, no voice.
Like I said this worked the frist time I used it, but has not worked since. Any ideas?
Lem

"If there any other tools people use to record voiceovers while being able to listen to the original audio?"
You could export your audio to an AIFF file and then bring that into GarageBand to add your voice over tracks.
iLife '06 makes the process even easier. You can actually see your movie play inside GarageBand.
I wouldn't buy iLife '06 today though, there's good reason to belive that iLife '07 may be announced at MacWorld.

Imovie stops when exporting

Preview in iMovie suddenly stopped working

I was working on a project, and suddenly the preview window, on te right stopped working.
I can't edit the project anymore, can't view it, can't export it, ..
I tried a lot of thing, like reinstalling imovie, moving the files, rebooting, ...
Nothing seems to work
Help me out please
PS: previewing imported clips does work

Cool! I've been seeing a lot of messages on the iMovie Discussion Group with similar symptoms. And one of the newer contributors to the list (calbe) kept recommending doing this step, of moving the last project out of the folder. And to my surprise it worked consistently. So now I'm recommending it to anyone who has a crash, lockup or any kind of Force Quit that then leads to iMovie being completely unstable afterwards.
And if you have the time or interest, as a further preventative measure you can also try moving the iMovie Preference file out of the Library. This forces iMovie to create a new preferences file. The benefit would be that Preferences file is notorious for causing problems after a Force Quit sometimes. To find the preference file go to the Mac Desktop and choose the Go Menu > *Hold down the Option key (this reveals the Library folder), click on Library (it appears grayed out but you can click on it. Inside of the Library>Preferences>com.apple.iMovieApp.plist (drag that file to the trash or the desktop). Make sure you have quit iMovie before doing this step, after you move the preference .plist file, open iMovie and make sure all your Events/Projects are visible and you can skim them with photos, titles all showing up.
Deleting the iMovie preferences file is not a requirement but more a preventative measure to keep iMovie humming along.

I wonder if it's one of the weird permissions/UAC related versions of these?
Can you try something for me please?
In Computer, open Local Disk C:\ or whichever drive you have your program files installed on.
*If you have a 32-bit Vista,* open the "Program Files" folder.
*If you have a 64-bit Vista,* open the "Program Files (x86)" folder.
Open the "QuickTime" folder.
Right-click the QuickTimePlayer.exe file and select "Run as Administrator".
Does it launch this time, or do you still get the error message?

Quick Time Player stopped working & Export Controller stopped working

I'm not quite sure when my problem began, I downloaded video from my Canon sd980is camera to my computer, when I tried to view the videos I get the Quick Time Playerhas stopped working "A problem caused the program t stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available" and I also get Export Controller has Stopped Working. I have attempted to uninstall QuickTime but am not sure if that actually occured. Now, when I try to open QuickTime it says "Quicktime has stopped working. I am able to play music and video from my itunes. I just can't play my .MOV from my camera on computer. ANYONE able to assist??

I've got a few suspicions here, but I'll ask some questions before proceeding (to work out if I'm on the right track).
Was this the first time you had downloaded video from the camera to the PC? If so, did you have to install any Canon software in order to do that? If so, what was the name and version of the software?
When you tried to uninstall QuickTime, did you get a "fatal error" message?

Export to Premiere Pro from Audition has stopped working...

Hello guys,
When I've finished an edit in Premiere I send it to Audition via Edit>Edit in Adobe Auditoin>Sequence.
But when I've finished in Audition and try to send it back via Multitrack>Export to Premiere Pro (sent as each track as a stem), Audition processes the session and then tries to send it back to Premiere.
The screen jumps back to Premiere as usual, but instead of seaing the pop-up window to insert new tracks as it should do, nothing happens. I've ran lots of tests to see what is going wrong, and can't find it. Somewhere on the journey into Premiere, the process stops and I really, really liked this feature.
Can anybody shed some light on why this has suddenly stopped working? I have made no changes to the installation of either Premiere or Audition, and neither have any plug-ins or extras.
Hope you can help,
Thanks

Hi,
I have the same problem to import files from audition. It save the work in .xml what I can load in premiere but automaticly it will not work.

IMovie stopped working in export
