Ok so imovie 11 won't let me export my movie anywhere, no matter what it seems. all it says is he project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (ParamErr: error in user parameter list).

Any help would help.

OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5), edd

Hi


Error -50paramErr - 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.


• free space on internal boot hard disk? How much ?


Video codec

• streamingDV, AIC etc. (not .avi, .mp4, .m4v, .wmv etc as they are containers not codecs)


Pictures

• in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?


Audio

• from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?


Corrupted preference file: The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file - trash it


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


from Luke Burns

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.


Where do Your material come from

• Camera

• External hard disk

• USB-memory


And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?


from: jonorparkerjon

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....


from Karsten S

Shorter clips than 1,5 sec might be one of the culptrits


Bengt cont.

Set-Up might differ

• Mac OS - most probably X.7 or more

• iMovie version - more than iM'11 v. 9.0.4


Action taken

• Finalizing project - I never do as I never understood the gain to do so

• Share as HD to iDVD - never give any gain but if it works the resulting DVD is less quality than if SD-quality was shared


fps - set

I only use PAL (25fps
