Unable to prepare project for publishing The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred.(Not enough room in heap zone / )
Hi,
I tried couple times to export movie in iMovie but every time failed even after restart. I have 180GB of free space in my mac book pro and have 8GB of RAM. I have gone through the forum but could not find the solution for it. Please help me if anyone know the resolution. Thanks.
You're triggering a memory-handling bug in the 32-bit CoreGraphics framework. Unfortunately there may be no easy workaround. According to a report, you may be able to Export QuickTime and then export again from QuickTime Player, which (unlike iMovie) is a 64-bit application.

When I click on finalize project in iMovie, an error message comes up that says "The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (Not enough room in heap zone / )". How do I fix it, and what does it mean?
re-post in the iMovie forum where all the people that use that software are. This is the Lion 10.7 forum.

Hi
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)

SO I KEEP TRYING TO FINALIZE IMOVIE PROJECT AND... NOT FINALIZE BECAUSE NOT ENOUGH ROOM IN HEAP ZONE?
The experts at a store told me that this usually is a problem of not having enough memory available for the system to finalize the project. I moved some movies to a hard drive, but still haven't been able to solve the problem.

Trying to finalize a project and it says not enough room in heap zone??
I've been trying to finalize an iMovie project that is 12min 35sec but all it keeps saying is not enough room in heap zone.. What can I do about this?? It is so aggravating!! Thanks..
A. Free Space - On DeskTop - usually top right hand corner there use to be an icon of Your Hard Disk - usually named Macintosh HD. If not then go via [cmd+F] and select it in tool field.
Now after it's selected You can read at the bottom of the frame
number of items selected and - Free Space as here 27,13 GB available
B. Is there any thing connected to Your Mac - as external hard disks or other devices ?
C. There can be a problem with iMovie pref file (Very common and especially so if the Mac has been Force/Panic Halted. To test this is easy.
• Apple Menu and down to System Preferences
• Accounts - and Create a new one
• Apple Menu and down to bottom - Log out
• Log into new Account
Now try iMovie - If it works - the problem is to 95 - 99.9% a corrupted iMovie pref file.

Today, my iPad2 wouldn't delete mail. Then the screen turned black. I turned the iPad2 off then on. Got black screen. Tried backing up to iTunes. Got the message "iTunes cannot connect to this iPhone because unknown error occurred (OxE8000065). Help, please.
Did you try restarting it by holding down the hold and lock button at the same time until you get the apple logo? If you already tried that then you should try putting it in DFU mode and doing a restore by following these instructions- http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034

When I was updating my IPAD, I downloaded the latest Itunes version and then updated my IPAD. When it came to backing up my IPAD, I received an error saying it could not be backed up because an error had occurred. It told me to disconnect and try again. I did this three times and it still will not work. What else can I do?
You may need to put the iPad in recovery mode to restore it.

I keep getting this message from Imovie:
Unable to prepare project for publishing. The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (Error in user parameter list)Bartirn,
I called Apple under my Mac support contract. They were completely unfamiliar with the error you and I were encountering. Updating to 10.8.5 didn't help.
I'm stopping my TimeCapsule while I perform these tasks, but I don't know yet if I have a consistent work-around.

In iMovie I am getting this message...Unable to prepare project for publishing. The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. File already open with write permission.
How do I resolve this?Hi
Most often it helps by - Turning Off the TimeMachine application - during work in iMovie.

This pops up when exporting in iMovie "Unable to prepare project for publishing: The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (ParamErr: error in user parameter list)" I have turned off my Time Machine in terminal yet it remains. What do I do, I need your help PLEASE.
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.
What this means in Your situation is above me.
• 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 ?
The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file
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.

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....
Where do Your material come from
• Camera
• External hard disk
• USB-memory
And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?

When I try to export the movie I get this error code. Im doing a music video and have put days into it and now I can not get it to export! My other small project export with no problem.
Thanks for the details. We have a similar problem (see my post below) and are in the process of adding back each clip and then testing for export. My question is, once iMovie is unable to export the project, does it render the file "bad" and prevent exporting even if you remove the "poisned" clip(s)?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hello, We are having a similar problem running iMovie '09. We get the exact same error as you reported.
"Unable to prepare project for publishing" The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred (-50)
We have a very similar situation were we have multiple repeated clips. However, our clips are 2.4 's. Like you, we took the finished project and started eliminating edits that we thought might be preventing it from exporting. The following actions still would not allow the project to export:
removing title pages
removing transitions
removing imported music from iTunes
removed another clip from another event
closed all other programs
closed iMovie, powered off computer, opened iMovie, tried to export
reconfirmed the last project exported would still export - it did without issueThe only difference between the project that will export and the one that does not are these short (2.4's) repeating clips
When we create the new project from the recorded event without making any edits (just as recorded), it exports without issue. We have started the arduous task of adding back in each edit and testing it for export until we determine which edit is causing it to "not export". This is a very inefficient way of troubleshooting.
This is a science project for my son and we need to be able to save it as a QT or mpeg4 movie so that he can submit it to his teacher for viewing and a grade!
Any ideas from any other users would be greatly appreciated. -
