Quicktime won't export to Itunes??

I have been using final cut express to make my videos. When I export them, I export them over to quicktime. To upload them to vimeo, they need to be below 500MB. I have always just uploaded them to Itunes which makes them smaller. I have done this for years now. Now, all of a sudden I am getting this message when I export them over to itunes:

Can’t make file "Macintosh HD:private:var:folders:iO:iOileZbUEKGVLQJbYlGoXE+++TI:-Tmp-:Butt Kicking Salmon (Computer).m4v" into type alias.

I don't understand how all of a sudden I can not do this procedure. Anyone else have this problem and how did you fix it? I have searched all over and I can not figure it out. I am also looked for Itune updates

Thanks guys!

When you export the movie to Quicktime, is Make Movie Self Contained checked?

Hey Meg the Dog,

When I hit quicktime export there is a box checked off. However, I need to convert it so I can get it online. When I hit "using quicktime conversion" there is no box to check on or off.

I realize your workflow was working correctly for you, and suddenly it is not, but I think I don't understand exactly what you are doing. I am not trying to derail your thread in a non-productive direction, but to me it sounds like you are doing to many steps to do what you want . . .

Can you give a more detailed account of how you are doing your export?

What settings are you using in QuickTime conversion to convert the file?

If you are converting it to a Vimeo friendly codec and frame size, why is iTunes involved?

Here is a link to the Vimeo Compression Guidelines:
