iMovie - Error occurred during export

I upgraded to iOS 16 yesterday and today tried to export a new movie from iMovie app to my camera roll on my iPhone, but I keep getting a error message. I've tried to export other projects and to create new, very small ones - none will export.

iPhone 13 Pro

FCPX: Error code -536870181 hi all, I'm repeatedly getting the above error code when I try to share my Final Cut project to my external hard drive. my project is a combination of videos from my camera (shot on an sd card, then imported to my hard drive), and videos from my iPhone. At time I had "missing plugin" errors for the videos shot on my camera, but I was able to resolve those errors by plugging in the sd card. Might have been the case that I actually didn't move the videos when I started the project, leading to the missing plugin error. Now, the whole video renders as expected in the viewer but won't export. I have also tried the following, and have gotten the error each time: sharing to my local computer instead of to the hard drive only sharing the sections of the video that were shot on iPhone sharing a shorter section of the video (full length is ~10m long) Any suggestions on what this error code means and the best way to get around it?

convert 4k video to 1080p error I’m trying to convert 4K videos on my iPhone 12 Pro to 1080p because they’re taking up too much space. I’ve tried adding to iMovie app, then changing the setting to 1080p and saving the video, but it just gives me an error saying it cannot be completed. I also tried to use the shortcuts app, encode the video to 1080p and save to my media, but it gives me “An unknown error occurred (-12780) The operation could not be completed.” Both my iPhone 12 Pro and iPad Air give the same error. Not sure what’s going on.

Cinematic videos are corrupt on iOS 18 (iPhone 14 Pro) I've been using the Cinematic mode on my iPhone 14 Pro (256GB) a lot in the past year, as a B-camera for interviews. It never failed me, even when shooting 1h video files. Now, I recently updated to iOS 18 and already three cinematic clips (of one minute) got corrupted. When playing back on the iPhone, at some point in time the frame just freezes for a second, then moving to the next frame, freezes again, and the next etc. Finally, playback is getting back to normal. When opening the files on my computer, it also lags, but the moment it occurs is different, every time I play the file. Importing the file in Premiere Pro does work, but when playing the file it gives me a bunch of errors like "Error retrieving frame 234 at time 00:00:09:09 from the file X.mov" Anyone else experiencing this issue? It happens on iOS 18 and also after updating to 18.0.1.
