Why can't I export a file from imovie

I used to be able to export a file from iMovie to my desktop, but now it doesn't work!

Software Update may have cancelled out your QuickTime PRO license. Did you notice any QuickTime updates when you did the update?
For instance, I have a PRO key for QuickTime 6.5 that was not valid for QuickTime 7 so I had to buy a new one. My first option was to de-install version 7 and go back to 6.5 for the PRO functionality. But later on, that was no longer a viable option since version 7 was the standard for some things, so I just went and paid the $29.99 for the new PRO key.
That could be your problem. Since without a PRO key, you don't have those options available under "expert settings."
I think... (and I've been working heavily with iMovie for years-- never made the jump to Final Cut yet, though have used Motion 2 in addition to iMovie. Works for me. I did get the Studio upgrade, but am waiting to buy a MacBook Pro to use it).

    How can I, or can I export my songs on my iPod back to my computer?
    The songs on my iPod Video 5th Gen now, were at one time on my computer, but have since been erased. Why can't I export the songs from my iPod back on to my computer? I have this same problem with my other devices (iPad 3rd Gen and iPod Nano 6th Gen). I am really frustrated now, because it seems as if I have to start all over again. This will be a royal pain in the butt! I don't understand why Apple makes this so hard and impossible to do this. Please help, anybody!!

  • Why can't i open raw files from my eos canon 7dii on PS elements 12

    Why can't i open raw files from me eos canon 7dii on PS elements 12

    Because your camera is newer than your software.
    You need ACR 8.7 which was released this week, to open CR2 files from the 7D.2.  Only current Adobe products can use this version, which would be PSE13 and the Photoshop versions CS6, CC & 2014 and some Adobe video products.
    You can also use the free DNG Converter 8.7 to create DNGs of a folder of images at a time, and then open those DNGs in an older PSE version, but you’ll never be able to open the native CR2 files unless you update the host software to the current versions.
    The DNG Converter 8.7 is available from the Adobe Updates page:

  • Why can't I delete mp3 files from my Trash?  They are not locked.

    Why can't I delete mp3 files from my Trash? They are not locked.  I compressed them into a zip file and then couldn't delete that file either.  I've restored them and tried deleting again but no luck.  Can anybody please help?  iOS 10.8.5

    You can't empty the Trash or move a file to the Trash
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on solving Trash issues. You can also try using Trash It! 5.1 to fix the problem. Or you can try this:
    Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder and paste the following at the prompt:
         sudo rm -Rf ~/.Trash/*
    Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not echo to the screen. Press RETURN again.

  • Why Can't I Export to Quicktime from Garageband?

    Has anyone else experienced this or would know how to fix it...
    I created a .mov file from Keynote and brought it into Garageband as a Video Track to sync the music to the Keynote presentation. Now I'm ready to Export to Quicktime from Garageband. When I choose the Export command from the 'Share' menu in Garageband, it runs through two dialog boxes - first "Creating Mixdown" and then "Converting..." - after the second dialog box disappears no Quicktime file is created.
    I have tried several things to remedy this, but have had no luck - such as updating to Garageband 3.0.1, running Disk Utility, restarting the computer. I also made sure to check the Preferences in Garageband before exporting.
    Can anyone tell me how I can get it to export?
    Also, the final Garageband file size is approximately 180MB and the presentation runs approximately 8 minutes. The final file will need to be 'full quality', as it will be shown from a projector at a meeting.
      Mac OS X (10.3.9)   Keynote v3.0.0; Garageband v3.0.1; Dual 1GHz G4; 1.5GB SDRAM

    Which export did you use?
    Try going into prefs->export, enable the export to disk option.
    Than in the Share menu choose export to disk.
    Then do a search on the name of your song (in the Finder) and see if it shows up.

  • Why Can't I export cs5 file to .idml for cs4?

    The link below is the final version of a project I'm working on along with an obscure font you need to install to view the file properly
    http://www.mediafire.com/?m9oumck6g13sovz
    I can't convert it to an .idml to open with cs4 for some reason. I had read something about certain fonts causing export problems in the past so i made an alternate version with only Tahoma font (I know there are alot of pink boxes, I would convert them in cs4), link below
    http://www.mediafire.com/?psp5h8nvlwnqfsq
    still no luck. If anybody could either to idml (preferably the first link, that's the final version), and send me a link, or even just tell me what i'm doing wrong, I would greatly appreciate it, thank you so much! The error I get for the first file is out of memory, for the second I can get a Visual C++ runtime error

    I'll give it a shot, if only because you're working in, what's this, Gujarati? and I have a soft spot in my heart for anyone who typesets complex scripts in InDesign.
    ... five thousand pages of Gujarati translation? Dang. No wonder you used autoflow.
    ... nope, it crashes out for me as well. I'll try again tomorrow, but I think this is going to be a case where the only thing to do is going to be to chop the file into smaller pieces, export the pieces, and rebuild the complete file from the IDML fragments in CS4.

    Not able to print PDF files from either my iPad or smart phone

    You probably don't have a printer which supports AirPrint:

    If your printer is not supported, you can buy a utility like PrinterPro from Readdle on the App Store. That's what I've used to print.

  • Why can't I import video files from an external hard drive?

    I am using Adobe Premiere Elements 12 on Mac OSX 10.7.5 trying to import video files from a Lacie Rugged External Hard Drive using both firewire and usb, neither with any luck. The error message I receive is:
    "You're trying to import a file from a DVD or a Removable Media.  Please use Video Importer for importing Videos and Image Importer for importing images. "
    We can't import through the video importer either because the hard drive doesn't show up. We can, however, drag the videos to the desktop and do it that way but we'd like to avoid doing that if possible.
    Thanks
    By the way, the external hard drive is formatted FAT32 if that matters

  • Why can't I delete certain files from my Time Capsule?

    I don't have my Time Capsule set up to back up every hour or so.  It's set up so that I can manually drag & drop files into it.  I've been trying to free up space by deleting some movie files that don't need anymore.  They appear to be just .avi format but I haven't been paying close enough attention to see if any other formats won't delete.  What prevents certain files from being deleted from the Time Capsule?

    I only asked about each folder down the hierarchy to and including one video you can't delete.
    If you copy a new file into each of the higher-level folders down to and including the "MOVIES" folder, can you then delete that new file?
    If you're willing to use a command in a Terminal session, I can tell you how to determine what process has a file open.

  • Why can I not create pdf files from MS Word documents?

    I'm using Acrobat Pro XI (11.0.5), and Microsoft Word 2007:  I've noticed just recently that, whenever I try to create a pdf file - from within Microsoft Word - I get a message:  Word has stopped working"....  and then the word program crashes.   Then I get a message that says the adobe add-in isn't working and recommends that I disable it.   This is extremely frustrating!  I've tried going into Acrobat directly to create the pdf, to no avail.  I've tried utilizing the "Repair Acrobat Installation" and that doesn't seem to work either.
    The only thing I've noticed which might have caused this problem is I just recently updated Adobe Reader - is there some "conflict" going on between having these two Adobe products installed on the same Computer?

  • How do I export a file from iMovie that is larger than 15min?

    I currently made a video on iMovie that I would like to export. However everything I have tried ends with a message coming from iMovie saying the file is too long. I've heard of exporting to quicktime but in the share option i don't see quicktime. I haven't tried just putting a usb in and seeing if i can come how paste it in but i don't think that will work.
    Need this for Valentines Day any suggestions would be great!

    So early i tried to convert it into a file first and at first it said it didn't work. Then the file popped up, but i couldn't open it and this message popped up "To see if additional software is available that will enable QuickTime Player to open the movie, click Tell Me More.". Which was not useful at all. But after a while i guess it completed exporting and i can now access it as a file. Thought I'd share my experience.

  • Why can't I import DV files into iMovie 11?

    This is more a curiousity, because I'm working in iMovie 6 HD, which I know well.  But I wanted to play with iMovie 11 effects, and could not import my DV clips into the program.  I thought iMovie 11 supported DV clips.  I know I can use Streamclip to alter, but don't want to, since I wanted to interchange the clips from iMovie 6 HD to iMovie 11.

    If you have an iMovie 6 project you want to use in iMovie 11, click FILE/IMPORT/iMOVIE HD PROJECT

  • Why can't I import DV files into iMovie 09?

    Help, I have mpeg files from a Sony Handycam, and I want to use them in iMovie 09. I have downloaded MPEG Streamline to convert them to DV files and I have Quicktime MPEG2 installed, which I bought from apple. The files are converting to DV ok and they were importing into my movie project. However, suddenly I started getting a message saying that the files could not be found, even though they were on the desktop and iMovie has deleted all of the film that I had imported and will not import any at all now.
    What am I doing wrong (besides using a Sony Handycam of course)? Is there any way around this?

    Hi Jeff,
    Just came across your posts, so sorry about the delay in responding.
    You said:
    I want to tag on with a follow-up question because I can't figure out how to post to the group
    To start a new post with your own topic, when you first come into the iMovie Discussion page click on one of the iMovie headings, such as iMovie '09, iMovie '08 etc, depending on which version you want help. Then click on "Post New Topic" just above the listing of Topics.
    I'm not sure what to suggest regarding your DV files being greyed out. File>Import - Movies should enable iMovie to see the DV files, provided your external FireWire drive is connected. Try dragging one of the files to your Desktop, then importing from there.
    I haven't used DV with iMovie '09 as I mainly shoot with my Sony AVCHD hard drive camcorder now. I use iMovie HD 6 for my older DV projects, but am considering switching to iMovie '09 for any future DV projects that may arise (depending on possible quality issues).
    If you don't have success with importing the DV clips, try converting them to AIC or H.264 using MPEG Streamclip, as discussed earlier in this thread.
    Sorry I can't help further. If I think of anything useful, I'll post back. It may be better if you raise your own question in the appropriate forum (as I described) - you mentioned you were using iMovie '08 (but do have access to '09). Perhaps try the '08 forum first.

  • Why can't i import .mov files into imovie

    Everytime recently I've tried to import a .mov file into imovie, its come up with the optimizing video box but nothing happens, I used to import straight from the camera, but I've recently emptied my camera onto my hard drive after a trip to New Zealand and now, when I have tried to import the footage from my hard drive, it does the optimizing video freeze on me. I would like to be able to get these movies into Imovie without having to pay a rediculous amount of money for some little converting program. I originally bought a apple computer, because I thought everything worked with each other, but now, I'm not so sure about that anymore.
    Also, I've tried MPEG streamclip and all that did was either freeze on me or make the video size smaller, as in, the sides were pushed in and it ruined the video.
    Camera: Canon HD Legria HFR38

    What codec are the files? .mov is a container that can house many different video codecs.
    Is your camera supported?
