Hello. Trying to export a movie file as "audio only" but I keep getting a Share Failed message even if I'm trying to export it to another movie format. The file is a MOV file (from an iPad) but I went online to convert it to an mp4 and it's still a no go. Tried different MOV files, same issue. Please help!
Does the share failed message reference the CompressorKit:Error?

Yes it does!
Hi, KCobby,
The Compressor Kit Error message has been reported with increasing frequency
of late. No universal fix so far, although lately users with the problem have
been able to fix it by reinstalling/updating/upgrading iMovie and, if
necessary, the operating system. Also
sometimes successful is starting up in Safe Mode (see Finder menu for
instructions) and then after everything loads immediately shutting down and
rebooting in normal mode.
Here’s a link to a thread where one poster solved the problem by removing a
64bit marker from an iTunes update. Another poster tried the solution and it
worked for that poster as well. It seems that updating iTunes can cause iMovie
to exhibit the CompressorKit:Error.

Here's a link, though older, that describes what others have tried with the

There may be some proposed solutions in the above links that will work for
you.
All else failing, try calling Apple Support. The techs there are very savvy
and also have the capability of remotely accessing your computer. Click on the
Contact Support item in the upper right hand corner of this screen and navigate
to a place where you can provide your telephone number so that Apple Support
can call you back. I think that the file path is Contact Support/Mac
OS/Applications/iMovie.
Good luck with this. If you have time, post back with your results, as it
may assist others who have this perplexing issue.
