using Monterey and iMovie 10.3.2.
Have recently exported 3 movies to mp4 files.
Now 4th movie get failed message. Tried many times but get this - Error: RequestCVPixelBufferForFrame returned: 3 for absolute frame: 40085. (Absolute frame number usually varies with each failure).
How to I overcome such a problem?
Grateful for help with this. Thanks

I will assume at the point it stopped in the process is where the issue is. You would have to do a deep dive at those points to see if anything abnormal which may take awhile. At those locations do you have some special effect inserted that is different from other frames?

Not sure what that error is but appears to indicate one of the frames in your time line is not in the correct format to process the video. Is this movie have some special frame that is different in format from your other mp4 videos?
That is what I thought too so deleted some frames and reloaded some but still failed. Each time a section loaded OK into mp4 format but stopped at various points so I adjusted frames at those points. Does that make sense?
Thanks for your quick response.
That seems to be the problem. I add titles and music and occasionally sound effects but never had this before. Maybe I will just start all over again and see what happens. Again thanks for your help - i'll let you know how I get on!
Started again from scratch and Just saved to mp4 file with titles but no music yet. I normally include transitions automatically but after adding noticed while editing that 2 seemed abnormal so deleted them and now believe that was the problem. I will add music in the next few days and try to save mp4 again and hope that will be OK. Will let you know for any future questions you may get.
Glad to hear. Please marked solved.
Success - all worked OK that time. Again thanks for your help.
