iMovie 10.0.6 youtube upload fail

I had this same problem. My solution was to to save it as a file to my computer first and then upload to YouTube. Hope this helps. 🙂

This issue is supposedly fixed in iMovie 10.0.8. Waiting for a video to finish now. Will know in a little while

I have iMovie 10.0.8 and have been trying to upload short movies (~1.2GB) to YouTube.

Each time iMovie quits unexpectedly after almost reaching the end - very frustrating and disappointing experience to say the least!

Prior versions were more stable and I was able to queue multiple uploads all of which worked flawlessly.

Exporting movie to a file and then uploading directly to YouTube is an option but it takes at least 2x longer...

I'll add my voice to yet another "Apple Innovation" that is woefully lacking in actual function just like the new "Photos" which is also just horrible.

Apple has become the antithesis of productivity

I had this issue for four months and no updates to OS X or to iMovie fixed it. Today I found the root cause and found a workaround; the issue seems to be with my iMovie Library file. The issue does not occur for a different iMovie library. So try this in iMovie:

1. File | Open Library | New.... - and give it a name, such as "Projects to Share".
2. With both the original and new Libraries open, you can move a troublesome project via the Projects view using the "Move to Library" or "Copy to Library" options.
3. This step seems to be important: Close the original library (File | Close Library) and then ensure you quit and restart iMovie.
4. Confirm you have only the new Library open in iMovie (it should contain only the projects you moved/copied and their source clips).

You should now be able to export as expect.

Thank you. This worked for me! You saved my daughter's school project.

I've had this issue a couple of times and in all cases it was caused by a corrupted permission in the filesystem. Running 'repair permissions' using the Disk Utility program got rid of the issue. In my specific case it was a corrupted .DS_Store file; not sure what caused that... but maybe this is due to iPhoto/iMovie competing for importing media and/or ejection of the media.

Thanx! This workaround works for me. Even on the 10.1.2 version of iMovie

^^^ This worked, however, I had to run Disk Utility from CMD-R reboot in order to fix the permissions. Thanks for the tip.
