My movie in iMovie freezes certain clips when I try to export it.

I've tried exporting it to many places and tried deleting the clips and replacing them but the same clips keep freezing when they are exported.

How did you transfer it to the PC?
Not good to export as a Word .doc/x, better to:
Menu > Export > PDF

My imovie application keeps crashing when I try to export the movie via quicktime. it worked yesterday

I made a movie in imovie and uploaded it to youtube fine yesterday. Today I wanted to edit it and add pics and transitions. It made it one minute longer from 4:46 to 5minutes. it crashes when I try to upload...now it is totally gone after all that work. Can I get it back and why is it crashing?

Hi
Can it be this that You mean ?
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)

IMovie freezes and crashes whenever I try to export, please help!!

I've tried all the various export options but it always does it for about a minute then goes mad and I have to force quit!
What do I do??

I have the same problem here. I can't export my project. Any solution??
I had crashes during importation too, but I managed to avoid them by importing smaller files. THe source is a 1080p TV record made on EyeTV

There is a little camera icon on a movie clip when I try to import it to iMovie from my iPad. I have reimported several times with the same result. When I disconnect the iPad I can no longer view the clip. Help!

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.

Imovie crash when I try to export my movie

I've made a movie about me in iMovie for school, it is 2.28 min long. But when I try to export it, iMovie crash. It's so frustrating that when I for the first time use iMovie (which I spent a lot of money on), it compleatly crash. Somebody help me!! Need to have it done for wensday...

Try exporting the project, and re-importing it.
Also try to restart your iOS device.
I find a soft-reset (restart while holding the power button until you see the apple logo).
Hope this helps.

When I try to export with Quicktime, the iMovie (9) runs for a few minutes and I then get this message:The movie could not be exported because an error occurred. (-2125)

Trash your preferences. Trash your project render files. Switch off background rendering. Export without using the computer for anything else.
Oh, and if you're using 10.9 switch off App Nap.

IMovie moving audio clips when transitions are added

iMovie moving audio clips when transitions are addedI have some video clips that need simple fades to black added at the end. However, whenever I add the fade out transition, iMovie does something insane. Instead of the last two seconds of video fading to black and the last two seconds of audio fading out, it seems that a random two seconds of audio from elsewhere in the clip is tacked onto the end and faded. This problem is nuts and I am having no luck finding a solution. Does anyone have one? This has happened with other transitions, but I’d settle for just getting a fade to black to work properly. Is this only a problem with Intel machines?

The problem that you describe has come up frequently on this forum. There are lots of things people have tried, but no solution has been found, other than the workaround of extracting the audio, as Klaus 1 mentions, and manually adjusting the fade out. Some feel that it is an intel machine problem, but that is not clear.
For more information on this issue, try using the search function of this forum, typing in "audio echo with transitions", or some other appropriate search words. You might find of interest the information contained in the following post:

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.

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 ?
iMovie/iDVD preference file
The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file or "com.apple.iDVD.plist"
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..

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 ?

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 as I never understood the gain to do 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)

I am still uing iMovie09. When I try to export movie some of share parts which are fine during editing, become very shaking. What should I do?

I am still uing iMovie09. When I try to export movie some of share parts which are fine during editing, become very shaking. What should I do?

Thank you so much...
1. I don't have that fat format I checked as I saw this on another answer...BUT...you are right the project was very bloated and I made a new project with the sequence and moved a bunch of projects off to an outside drive and things are flying again...this effect "twirl" was on three clips and this seemed to be creating a problem along with it being a bloated project. Don't know why this effect renders easily then the next second doesn't it's on three clips on the entire project and one or another might not render all of a sudden.
2. I understand what you said about the timeline export...I decided to export the sequence without the matte it was nested in and that sequence did have the chapter markers on the timeline and they again didn't export??? I'll look tomorrow at this it makes no sense if what you're saying is how to do it...the final cut pro book said they should have showed up if I export from the browser and that didn't work either.
3. I then matted that output and rendered it to output but I am worried this will degrade and compress the sequence more than I want by outputting the same sequence with current settings twice???...the couple of outputs I could make nested looked very good as this was one render...however, I tried doing a quicktime "current settings" with the dvd studio pro info still trying to export chapter markers and maybe it's my imagination but the output didn't look as sharp as just an output with just chapter markers???
r. I did look at the final cut pro book and it says that mpeg 2 movies will not read chapter markers anyway if you create one in compressor...if this is true it makes no difference if the quicktime output isn't having chapter markers show up. I assume when I go to author though I can put an mpeg 2 movie into dvd studio pro and create chapter markers at that point!! It seems weird it says it can do it with an mpeg 1 but not an mpeg 2 when everyone is using that for dvds.

When i connect my iphone to my laptop and open itunes it shows my iphone has nothing on it(no music, no movies, etc...) then when i try to sync it says iphone is is full and can only put in a selected amount of songs

when i connect my iphone to my laptop and open itunes it shows my iphone has nothing on it(no music, no movies, etc...) then when i try to sync it says iphone is is full and can only put in a selected amount of songs. Take in mind this is my first time to sync with this laptop(HP 15 ENVY) and as well my laptop is just brand new. just got it a week ago. so how do i fix this prob. and also when i open my itunes store and then view my account it says error occurred either debug it through Microsoft visual studio or close program. I tired copying all the .dll files to the itunes folder didn't help

I cannot address the sync services error right now, but the error that you receive when you change from sync to manually manage music is what happens when you change. Once you change to manually manage music, it erases all of the music and will only put the music that you want on the phone, content that you manually drag over to it.
