iMovie export error -50
I keep getting error -50 when trying to export my iMovie. I've cleared loads of space, tried removing bits of it etc. but nothing seems to work. Please help
iMovie '11, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
Hi
Error -50 paramErr Error in user parameter list
Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ?
Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
What this means in Your situation is above me.
• free space on internal boot hard disk? How much ?
Pictures
• in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
Audio
• from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file
• Did You try to trash this (while iMovie IS NOT running)
Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
• Library - at root level
• Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into
(Macintosh HD/Users/Your Home account/Library/Preferences - com.apple.iMovie.plist - to get right Library and in Mac OS X.7 or more then go up to the top Menu row - to GO - then down to Library)

I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..

You need more free space on your hard drive.
After phone support from apple I ended up creating a new project and adding all 117 clips back in individually till I found out what clips flagged and would not allow me to export. I had 3 I deleted and replaced and everything works now 1hr after tedious work....
Where does Your material come from ?
• Camera
• External hard disk
• USB-memory
And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?
