Hi


A. Why do You Finalise Your project

• to me it doesn't do any good only

- takes up lot's of space

- get's hard to get back if more editing is of need

- no quality enhanzement at all only time and space consumption

TO ME !


B. Error -49


Error -49opWrErr File already open with write permission


Trash the preference files while application is NOT Running.


of following I don't know anything - but he usually 100% onto something.


from Karsten Schlüter

Some users notice on exporting larger projects from within iMovie that this operation is aborted with an 'error -49'

This issue occours only on MacOs machines using 10.7x

try switching-off the Local Mobile Backup

in Terminal copy/paste


sudo tmutil disablelocal


Re-launch Mac
