"Sharing requires more memory to be available" when I have plenty available already

Error: "Sharing requires more memory to be available. Quit iMovie and relaunch it"


- Relaunching does not work, I have 6gb of free RAM. this error happens with EVERY movie i attempt to export/share, making my imovie unusable.

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

I hit that problem while I was trying to solve the famous error 108 or 49 or 50 when rendering a long project. I tried to cut that long project in smaller pieces, but then I got the not enough memory issue all the time (used to be after one rendering attempt). I moved older projects into a different folder and then I was able to export the movie.


Now I need to be able to finish the rest of the rendering since it seems that some parts of the movie still bring me to the errors listed above.


It's really a shame that Apple doesn't develop their leading iLife applications anymore. After the retirement of iPhoto, what do you think will happen to iMovie?
