How can I resolve "The share operation...has failed" Video rendering error: -50.

I have OS X 10.9.1 and iMovie 10.0.2. I can share the video to the theater, but not to file or vimeo. Thanks for the help.

OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)

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 ?


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 ?


The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file


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

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 do Your material come from

• Camera

• External hard disk

• USB-memory


And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?

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)
