Can't export imovie project "com.apple.Compressor.CompressorKit.ErrorDomain error -1."

The CompressorKit error is very pesky and has been reported frequently on

this forum of late. It seems to be related to an iTunes update that implants a

64 bit architecture into the system library. Thus, some people have solved this

by upgrading to Catalina, that is a 64 bit operating system. However, that

would render inoperable any legacy 32 bit programs that you may have on your

Mac, and also some legacy media would not play in iMovie and would need to be

converted.

Sometimes booting up in Safe Mode (see Finder menu for instructions) and

immediately shutting down and rebooting in normal mode helps.

Recently there has been a breakthrough on this issue, discovered by

nicocaro, who posted a solution on this forum. Below is a link to the thread

where he describes how to solve the problem by removing a 64bit architecture

from an iTunes update.  Other posters have successfully tried the

solution.

After doing the above your iPhone likely will not sync, although iMovie will

work.  To get your iPhone to sync again, see this link that solves that

There may be some proposed solutions in the above link that will work for

you.

I know that your experience with Apple Support was not successfull. However, all

else failing, try calling Apple Support again. 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, and will contribute to our data base.

Sorry, I missed that.

Try deleting the preferences.

 Hold down the  Cmd and Option keys as you launch  iMovie and this window will appear.

Click “Delete Preferences” and  iMovie will open in the default (as-new) mode with no projects etc. on the interface. 

You will have to navigate to any project you were working on and reopen it.  Your project libraries by default are stored in your Movies folder unless you have specified somewhere different.

In a pinch, since you need your video for a job application, you can try using the QuickTimePlayer app on your Mac to make a screen recording of your video. So, play your video on the preview screen of your project, set to full size, and use the Control-Shift-5 feature to reveal the controls for recording a screen video. In other words, as you play your video take a screen recording of it. Then save the screen recording to a .mov file on your desktop. Then you can drag it into You Tube's upload window.

Many editors will Share to File and then send the finished movie to its destination manually.
