Cant share/save as a file on iMovie 10.0

Have you ever installed Final Cut?

I'm having the exact same issue. Never installed FCP either. Won't export to any format- email, file, iTunes, Theater, etc. Very frustrating. And because iMove handles files so bizarrely windows-like, it's not like you can just grab the files you need and move them to a friend's machine that exports correctly.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:

☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)

☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.

Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select

View ▹ Show Log List

from the menu bar.

Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.

Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

Here is what happens when I launch iMovie 10.0 (Mavericks version)

I get the same Error as the original poster of this thread:

com.apple.Compressor.CompressorKit.ErrorDomain error -1.

Thanks for having a look at this.

I can't export to a file either. iMovie looks like it is doing something by the Activity Monitor uses virtually 0% CPU.

Using a brand spanking new MacBook Pro i7 with Mavericks and iMovie version 10.0.

iMovie HD rocked; since they dumbed it down, iMovie scuks the camel's winkie.

"Theater" window shows project and says "Creating Movie..." However, nothing is happening. Using 0% CPU.
