Hi Rich,
I think it's the size of the movie which is too big. So it runs a few minutes and then the screen turns black and it say in several languages that the shutdown was caused because of an error and then the iMac restarts.
I cut the video into three pieces and then it worked. afterwards I imported the three MP4 files and created the final movie, which finally worked well. The MP4 file has now 2GB!!
My suspect is that the memory of my iMac cannot work with such big files an swapping to the cloud also doesn't work, but I am no expert in this.
Thanks Wolfgang
