Hi
Take one of the small files that won't export:
Try export unmodified original.
If that doesn't work, see if it is possible to open the video for editing (select then hit enter)
Also try image>revert to original
Try restarting mac in safe mode, and then trying - restart normally and try again.

Here is what the screen is telling me.
The External Hard Drive is WD My Book, which I have already transferred 254 videos today, but it will not transfer the other 300, most of which are small 1-5 minutes long, with a couple of them being very large ones (1-2 hrs long). There doesn't seem to be a pattern between those that downloaded and those that didn't.
All are IMG_xxxx.MOV.
Size seems to be irrelevant.
Sadly these suggestions didn't work either. I get the same message.
What format is the external drive?
And how are you movign the video?
There is a bug in some versions that won't allow export to external drives with a non apple format. Export it to your desktop first then drag to the external drive.
Also use file>export rather than drag/drop.
