export quicktime from iMovie

iMovie fails to complete any export of a project to a finished file format that can be opened by Quicktime. The application locks up and shuts down prior to completing. What's wrong?

Hi, Randomaccess99,


It could be a corrupt preference. Try deleting preferences.


Open iMovie while holding down the Option

and Command keys and select to delete preferences in the box that appears.

iMovie will open in a new library. Reopen your old library to get back to your

projects. Now see if you can share out.
