My computer crashes when I try to export from iMovie. What is the problem.

Why does my computer crash when I try to export it?

Does it happen with different iMovie projects or does it keep doing it with the same one? Might be a corrupt movie file.
Do you have iLife 11 on disc? If so you might try reinstalling iMovie and try it again, first without updating anything, and if that works then try updating and see if the problem comes back. It could also just be that iMovie is corrupt.

  • When I try to export from iMovie '11 I get repeated messages that the project is too big. Why? Is there a workaround? (I have already cut a 40-minute movie into three chunks...)

    When I try to export from iMovie '11 I get repeated messages that the project is too big. Why? Is there a workaround? (I have already cut a 40-minute movie into three chunks... the first exported to iDVD ok, but the next one of 15 minutes balked for the same reason -- too long...)

    I wish I had a mac :-P 
    Sadly, this is Windows machine so I dont have a non-iOS version of iMovie.  I have 2 ideas left.  The first is xfering the project to my iPhone 4 and trying to export it there (if that works, awesome but geez apple the iPad 2 is way more powerful than the iphone 4.. youd think I wouldnt even have to attempt this).  The 2nd idea is to start at the end of my movie and delete clips and sounds backwards, trying to export each time to find whatever clip is causing the issue (when the movie was 5 minutes it mixed no probem, so I only need to go that far).
    Wish me luck? 
    Also, is anyone else besides me and the 5 dudes in the other threads having this issue??  Speak up, guys - Apple cant a fix a problem they dont know about.

    I have some photos in i photo that come up with a black ! when I try to open them. What is the problem ?

    It means that iPhoto can't find the file.
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?

    Is it your computer that crashes or just the program itself crashing?

  • Please Help! InCopy crashes when I try to export...

    Please help me!
    InCopy crashes when I try to export to PDF. The file I'm working in was originally an InDesign CS3 file that was converted to InDesign CS4 when we upgraded our software. We've run into some BIG PROBLEMS with CS4, and so we've exported our CS4 InDesign files as CS3 .INX files so we can work on them in InDesign CS3.
    I've isolated that the problem is only when I try to export pages that have a large ad that goes through the gutter of the newspaper spread. All other pages PDF fine from InCopy CS3.
    I opened an old CS3 file (that was never converted to CS4), and double checked that I can still export the whole file to PDF including the pages that have ads going through the gutter.
    Is this a bug with CS4 files? Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix the problem? NOTE: I already tried splitting the box for the ad into 2 separate boxes (one on each page), but InCopy still crashes when I try to export either one of the pages that has content through the gutter.
    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    Hi,
    Which operating system are you running on?
    Try starting the organizer while holding down the shift key.  Hopefully, it should load the Catalog Manager.
    Select your current catalog and click on the Repair button. Once it has finished, click on the Open button to see if the catalog opens.
    Good luck,
    Brian

    I suggets you contact the manufacturer. They may have a software update or a workaround.

    Hello Deb,
      Something fishy going on with those particular files. But without looking at them directly I couldn't say what. Usually in a case like this the problem is some of the metadata that is attached to the file. Where did these files come from? A camera, a scanner, the internet?
      An explanation about the Watched Folder function: It looks for changes to a folder, not just automatically grabbing whatever files are in it. Generally, you want to select an empty folder as a Watch Folder. Once this has been set up, as you add files to this folder they will be imported into the Organizer. If you start with a folder full of images, those will be ignored, any new items will be added.

    When I try to export Premier doesn't have the quicktime  option but it still has all the other file types

    Hi,
    There can be a problem with the activation.
    Please share a screen shot of the different export format options you are getting at the time of export along with the name of the operating system.
    Probably then we can get to the bottom of this issue.
    Thanks.

  • When exporting from Imovie I get the following error? OSStatus error -2009

    when exporting from Imovie I get the following error? OSStatus error -2009

    Hi
    Apple Support pages says.
    Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.
