I am using iMovie (newest version on MacBook Pro) to edit and share game film for my football team. I have cut it down into 4 30-45 minute clips. It creates the movie but won't let me share to YouTube (task cannot be completed) or save to my computer (disk full). I can't email it either because the files are too big. Any ideas? I have been working on this for 3 days and am getting nowhere...
macbook, Mac OS X (10.4.11)
30 - 45 minutes of movie takes up quite a lot of disk space. From the error message you evidently don't have enough disk space left. (This would probably be the reason for the YouTube message too since it still has to store the rendered movie locally before uploading). Have a look at the disk directory in the Finder. How much free space is there? Maybe there is something big on the disk you can delete, for example other finished movies that you could move onto a memory stick. If not you will need to move your library onto an external disk.

Thank you! I contacted Apple Support and cleared out my trash and downloads file. I didn't realize I didn't need to keep the files I used to install Office and other programs. Cleared up a bunch of space on my disk so I could get them to work!
I am also having difficulty sharing videos to youtube since iMovie 10.0.8 update. My movies are around 35-40 minutes in length at 1080p. I have no trouble sharing to a file on my hard drive and uploading that file from within youtube. I had no problems sharing movies from iMovie to youtube with 10.0.7. Any ideas?
