Exported iMovie Video freezes halfway through
I recently finished a 1 hour and 25 minute iMovie project in my MacBook air and it plays completely fine in iMovie. I exported it, with it taking about an hour to save as a file. Once I tried to play it back, it got to about the 20 minute mark and completely froze video/audio but the time bar keeping going. So I tried exporting again, again it took about an hour. This time it got to about the 40 minute mark and the exams exact thing happened. I tried in both quicktime and AppleTv and the freeze happens at the same place, so it must be the file. Is there a way to fix this/prevent it from happening? It is very frustrating after taking all this time to make this for something with my school that I am supposed to send out for the kids on Monday.
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
