export failed error -1

It was just a couple of months ago that I was exporting my Motion 5 projects as quicktime movies with few problems. This week, I'm getting repeated export failures that occur at a different frame number each time, but usually with the error code -1. RAM previews are not especially quick or smooth either. I have rebuilt my OSX directories with Disk Warrior and repaired permissions. That hasn't helped. Does anyone have any insight into this problem? I won't be able to keep using Motion 5 if I can't resolve this. I export quicktime movies because I'm importing into Premiere Pro CC.

Motion 5, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5), Mac Pro 2.8 Ghz quad Xeon 12GB RAM

I may have solved my own problem. My project had 25 concurrent media streams, 14 video, 11 stills, in a mosaic type presentation. I reduced the number of video streams to 4, made the rest stills. I am now able to complete an export. Didn't think I was taxing my computer's resources that much.
