Movie freezes during export to Camera

I am trying to export my imovie to a sony video camera. I have done this before with my boyfriends mac and imovie, and that worked - I know that the camera and firewire work. I have the newer version of imovie, does that make a difference? Imovie begins to play my movie and the camera records. About 5 minutes into it the movie freezes and the camera keeps recording that image until I stop it. It freezes at different times each try, but all toward the beginning.
Help!!

hi rtrusty - welcome to the forum!
Maybe you are running really low on storage space, or maybe you have several other programmes open while you are sharing to camera? Or is the project stored on an external hard drive - if so, is it correctly formatted for Macs - Mac OS Extended?

How do I stop video freezing during export?

Video freezes during export to DV camera from imovie HD. Tried updating OS to combined version for 10.3.9. Installed latest updater for imovie 5 with no difference. Can anyone suggest any other solutions?

Chris,
I found a solution to the freezing problem in one of the answers to another problem here on the discussion forum.
It solved my problem and it might be helpful to you.
Convert your iMovie video into a QT film with the same quality (I have a dutch version of iMovie HD, so I don't know the exact menu-wording. Something like >Slect>share).
Import this QT film into a NEW iMovie project.
Then export to your camcorder.
It took my Mac almost 11/2 hour to convert the video to QT (55minutes movie).
But in the end, it worked.
I'm no expert, but I think it has to do with the mutilations caused by adding titles, cutting, audio additions etc. which are imparted on the document.
The original video that frooze was 17.1 GB. The successful copy only 13.6GB.
Good luck

Video on Exported Movie Freezes During Playback, Audio Continues

This is a reoccurring problem I've found in some of my exported movies. After successfully exporting a project (in full quality), I view the movie in QuickTime player, where, somewhere in the middle of the movie the visual freezes and stays frozen on the same frame for the remainder of the movie. The audio however doesn't skip a beat and continues normally. The playhead in the QuickTime player continues without interruption as well. The location (or frame) where the movie freezes is always the same every time the movie is played. If you attempt to skip over the freeze spot by clicking later in the timeline, you'll successfully move the playhead forward to where you want but the visual is still frozen on that frame and the audio is fine as well. This suggests to me iMovie rendered the movie to a certain point and then, for some reason, rendered a still frame for the remaining duration.
The movie plays normally in the playback/preview within the iMovie app. itself.
The only clue I have is it seems to have this problem after a slow or fast motion effect is used. The frozen frame is generally the last frame in the clip that has a slow motion effect. If I go into the project and move the end of the clip forward to erase the troublesome frame, export, and view, the movie is completely normal until it hits another special effected clip.
This is truly a hassle and the poor solution I've found to fixing it ruins the synching I've put a lot of work into.
Help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

I have had the same problem on multiple movies. I'm going to submit your post to apple feedback & I suggest you do the same. Have you found any solution? http://www.apple.com/feedback/imovie.html
I think the problem is related to running out of memory/virtual memory, so on another post I saw rebooting & shutting down other programs before rendering suggested.
Exporting in a smaller size worked for me, but I didn't create this movie to watch in postage stamp size. I'm a new mac user - what happened to apple's promise of things "just working"?

IMovie freezes during export

I am trying to export a movie that I made and IMovie just freezes during the export. I have tried to export it in different ways. I am new to Macs and Imovie in general so any help would be appreciated.

I have 486 Gigs of free space. THe movie clips are only about 4-5 minutes a piece. They have audio, video, and pictures in the movie. They play fine on my computer, but I would like to export them to email to people.

Keynote freezes during export of slideshow to iDVD

Upon sending a Keynote presentation to iDVD, the processing of the Quicktime Movie freezes up about 2/3 thru the show. Have not run into this before and I've made many slideshows and videos using Keynote and have sent them to iDVD. Have tried pulling the slide that the file freezes at but then it locks up at the next slide. Don't want to start over as I'm pressed for time. Also, not sure that it won't occur again.

Hi Louis,
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
Or...
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

6D users : Movie freezing during taking stills ?

Hello there,
I use a Sandisk Extreme pro SDHC UHS-I card up to 95mb/s (I think one of the fastest at this moment on the market ) but if I try to take a still shot during video recording , the video will freeze on playback no matter what format of movie / photo I choose .
Is that normal ?
Thanks,
Solved!

Yes, it's normal. Check page 213 of your manual.

Freezes during Import from Camera

Hi everyone,
I just purchased a new Macbook (exciting isn't it?) absolutely love it but I am having one small issue with iPhoto. Whenever I try to import some media from my camera iPhoto freezes whenever it comes to a video. Is there anything I can do about this? Is there a way to specify what I take from my camera?
Thanks guys.

Hello.
If your camera mounts on your desktop as an external drive, ignore the iPhoto Import Window that opens when you connect the camera. Instead, do File > Import to library. This brings up a window you can navigate to select your photos for import. You can even set it to column view and see a preview of files before you import. Select the photos you want and Import them. Then try a video clip and see if iPhoto can import it.
If your camera does not mount on the desktop, you can use a card reader, which does. The above procedure will then work.
If iPhoto does not like the video clips, use Image Capture (in your Applications folder) to upload them. Image Capture gives you the option to "import some..." and select the files from the device. Upload to a folder anywhere NOT in the iPhoto Library folder. When done you can import into iPhoto and delete the initial location.
I have only recently begun having trouble getting iPhoto to upload video clips from my camera card. What changed (besides the recent software updates) is that I got my first 2 Gig card. I don't know if the problem with my video clips lies with iPhoto or with my older card reader not liking the 2 Gig card. I suspect it's the latter. Anyway, I upload my photos directly into iPhoto. Then I open Image Capture, select a video clip, and upload to the desktop. Image Capture seems to stall or freeze when uploading. The progress bar makes no visible progress. I have to click Cancel for the upload, then eject the card. After I do this, the movie file will appear on my desktop. I have only got this to work with one movie at a time. The first time I had to Force Quit my camera card ("mass storage"), but after doing so the video clip was there. Once on my desktop, iPhoto has no trouble importing the clips. It's not pretty, but it works. And once I fill this 2 Gig card, I'm going back to the trusty 1 Gig cards. (Until I feel like buying a new card reader.)

Media Encoder cc (2014) freezes during export

I have re-installed AME with no luck. I'm using AME as a direct export from Premier CC. I'm getting the same results from 2 PC's. Sometimes if freezes at 20%, sometimes at 50%....Using AMD r9 290x video cards.

You are correct. We are currently discussing this and are treating it as a feature request for a future update. In the future you can also submit feature requests here: Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form

Premiere CC 2014 Freezing during Export

Hey everyone, I tried to look for a post of this issue, but none seem to be quite the same as this. Whenever I go to export my file, my entire system locks up. I've tried leaving it for upwards of 40 minutes and it does not come back. The very few times I have gotten it to export, it goes smoothly, within 5 minutes or so.
I have just last week updated my Premiere CC to the most current update (8.0.0 (169) build).
I am running Windows 7 Professional
the source files are .MOV, but I apologize that's about as much info as I know how to give on that right now.
I am not getting any error message, the system is simply locking up. When I reenter the program after rebooting my system, I do get a failure to launch the program. After that I am able to get back in.
I have tried multiple types of files to export to, and switched up settings as well.
This has worked only twice. 98% failure rate, I'd say at this point.
I have tried while running only Premiere, and I have tried with Chrome open, as well as some other software.
I am using an AMD Radeon R7 200 series graphics card
i have a dedicated 5.9 GB of RAM for Premiere to use
I have an AMD FX-8350 Processor
if anyone can shed some light on this situation it would be fantastic. My free trial is almost up, and if I can't get this to work, I obviously will not be subscribing to the CC services.
Thanks.
and please let me know if there is anymore information I should provide!

AME freeze during export from premiere

Hi, I have the same problems by using AME since CS 5.5... now I have AME CC 2014 but the problem is the same.MAC OSX
I'm on MAC PRO OSX 64GB Ram, 2CPU XEON, 2 Graphic card AMD Fire Pro 700 2 x 6GB.
When I export from premiere using adobe media encoder, and setting OPEN CL HW acceleration, some times it freeze and i have to restart the mac pro forcing it.
The only way to export is disable GPU but it needs longer time to do the compression.
I want to use GPU OPENCL, i bought this macpro with 2 graphic card so I want the faster way to compress... how to do?
I noted that the problems happen when the project has big images inside such as more then 3000px width.
The strange thing is that if i compress the same project on a windows OS, with CUDA NVIDIA card (2GB) it works...
I understood that with the new AME release (CC 2014) this problem was solved but i see not.
Pls let me know
Thanks
Bye

I Movie crashing during export

I've been trying to make a movie and every time I try to export it my I Movie crashes! First I thought it was because my hard disk was too full, but I have over 30 GB on it and the problem still continues. I can make short clips just fine, but 30 min and up is a problem. Please help!

A couple suggestions...
Can you tell what format and codec you've chosen? (e.g. QuickTime movie with H.264)
does changing this to something else work?
Does the problem occur only on one project or multiple different ones? What about a new project with just a simple video clip (no titles, transitions, audio...)?
Have you made large movies before or never been able to?

TV shows just freezing during an episode

I have been having problems with tv shows and movies freezing during the middle of the show. So annoying. I have unplugged the appletv, and reset my router.It helps for a bit then freezes again.
Anyone have this problem? What did you do?

Hi rye_carr,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, iTunes is freezing. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

After I make a trailer or movie on my Iphone 4S and try to save it to the camera roll, I get a message that "an error occurred during export". The message appears after the piece has seeminly finished exporting. What am I doing wrong???

I appreciate you taking the time to copy and paste boilerplate responses to increase your points in this forum, but I've already read all those support articles in depth; but you have barely read my post at all. Please don't guess a fix. Only someone with the latest versions of iMovie, iOS, iPhone, Yosemite, and MacBook Pro is qualified to troubleshoot this, because anyone would immediately see that the following option no longer exists:
Open iMovie on your Mac, and choose File > Import > iMovie for iOS Project.
Read my post before you reply: It clearly says in the title and within my post that I can neither export nor import through iTunes without receiving an error message. So your response neither solved my question nor helped me whatsoever.

Freezes when exporting .mov files in CS4 / Adobe Media Encoder

For the past 7 hours now I have been trying every internet remedy for the following problem, and was wondering if any of you nice people could help:
I just came back from a ski trip, and wanted to make an edit featuring my fiends. I recorded large parts of the trip on my new iPhone, both in 720p 120fps (120.15fps, h.264 1280*720) and the normal 1080p 30fps. iPhone files are in the .mov format. I also recorded some parts on a GoPro hero hd2 camera at both 720p 60fps and 1080p 30fps. GoPro files are in the MP4 format, and i've never had a probvlem with them.
Now all imports fine into premiere pro, and although I had a few problems with freezing while editing initially, this was quickly solved by terminating all unused (non-adobe) processes in task manager.
So I spent a good 4 hours making a 2.5 minute edit of our day, and wanted to export it.
So I selected the sequence, and went file>export>media, selected all of the preferences i wanted for exporting, and sent it to the Adobe media encoder.
The media encoder loads the files for a few seconds, and then starts the encoding process. And promptly freezes. It freezes at around 10-20 seconds (depending on export preferences) after starting to encode, and never restarts. i can then pause the encode, but cancelling it crashes adobe media encoder and subsequently also crashes Premiere Pro.
I may be mistaken here, but I have a strong suspicion that It is quicktime that is causing all this.
So I tried the following:
- reinstalling, downgrading, updating, etc. Quicktime
- renaming file extensions from .mov to .mp4
- all sorts of export preferences, from image sequences to dvd to blueray and dv. (Image sequences, interestingly, occasionally export to about half a minute into the video(also depending on preferences), then freeze)
- crossing my fingers
- checking for gaps in video, found none
- updating premiere pro and media encoder
- throwing my mouse at the wall in frustration
- making a new project with different settings and copying in the sequence
- disabling "Include source xmp metadata"
- making a new user account and trying it there
Is there anything else I can try?
Could I copy the project itself into a different program (e.g. iMovie or Windows Movie Maker) and export from there?
Is there an alternative to Adobe media encoder?
Need more information?
Thanks for the help!
Specs:
Premiere version: 4.2.1
Encoder version: 4.2.0.006
Comp specs:
16Gb ram
quad core i5
256 Gb solid state (system, program files are here)
2TB HDD (video files, scratch disk are here)
Nvidia gtx 660 graphics
Windows 64 bit
1 monitor

I bought quicktime pro today to try this, but to no avail. it just freezes up again during export.
I tried some other fixes on that page, like renaming files to .mpg extension, which worked once during an export of a test sequence (although everything was shifted and it cut off the export at the gopro footage).
Is there any way I can export this project to another program to export it from there perhaps?
Thanks for the help!
