I've just finished working on a 3 minute video @720p. The video runs fine within iMovie but I can't export it no matter what setting I try to use. The error message states "video render frame failed:10004". Any ideas??
I'm running iMovie 10.1.7 on a MacBook air with Sierra 10.12.5.
MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2015), macOS Sierra (10.12.5)
This render error means there is a problem with one or more clips in your project. First thing to try is to skim slowly through the project looking for any anomalies such as flashes or othr glitches and replace the clip having the issue. If you can not find anything obvious then I would duplicate the project, open the duplicate in the timeline and delete half of the clips. Then try to share. If it works then the problem is in the other half. If it fails then the problem is in the half you have and you can split it and repeat the process until you find the bad clip. Then replace that clip in the original project. Another option to try is to copy your timeline and paste it into a new project just in case the project is corrupted. Hope this helps solve your problem.
Same issue here. Started as soon as I updated imovie and macOS. Testing removing transitions now. Thank you for the suggestion.
Wow. I don't know why this would work, but it does. I literally just cut the first 0.4 seconds of my project that wouldn't export, and now it's working. Thank you!!
Now it doesn't exports at all for me.
Tried cutting the first frames of every clips, now it works.
Not sure why this fixes the issue, but it works for me.
Thanks a lot! 🙂
Worked for me too! Question is... why? 😕
Yes, unfortunately that did not work.
Very helpful.....First Part of My Film is damaged, After cutting everything Workshop fine.
Thanks a lot it was the trick for me !

I'm also having a problem exporting. My issue is a bit different, but on one occasion I received the same error messages. The rest of the time I'm simply given the error that imovie can't export the file. When I go to the folder where I tried to place it, there is 7 seconds of audio only. The weirdest part is that the clip I'm using there is an 18 second clip, so I'm puzzled as to why it would randomly pick that spot and only export the audio. I had to use another program to create the clip so I could get the effect I wanted. Maybe I need to save it in a different format.
I miss the old days when Apple stuff worked.
I wish I knew why that worked. I've tried everything. I finally made a new copy of the first clip I used, and chopped off the 1st second. I also adjusted all transitions so there would be no black frames just to be safe. It has taken a lot of time and work, but that seems to be working. Thanks!
I’ve fixed the issue now. For me it was the title page which i’d designed on PowerPoint and imported in.
Thanks to everyone for posting
Exactly the same for me. Cut off the first 0.4 secons and it works. Crazy weird behaviour.
