imovie exporting error

Hi!


I'm trying to export an imovie file and it says "The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.Compressor.CompressorKit.ErrorDomain error -1.)" does anyone know how to fix it? I've already tried using safe mode. Thanks!

Compressor Kit errors can be frustrating.


Take a look at this thread and see if anything in there helps you:

Also, sometimes a reinstall of iMovie is what is needed to solve the issue.

Drag your present iMovie app from the Applications folder into the trash, but

do not empty the trash. Then sign in to the app store and open your purchases

folder by clicking on your name at the bottom of the app store side bar. You

will see a display of your purchases. Redownload iMovie from there. If

unsuccessful, drag your present iMovie out of the trash and replace it in the

Applications folder.
