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)
I too wasted a day on this heinous iMovie bug. Here's my solution:
This apparently removes any subframe and aligns the start of the clip to an actual frame boundary.
Why iMovie can't detect this until failing to export is a question for iMovie's crack engineering staff.
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
No export options work after update. Only works if you have a single clip. Fails every time it tries to switch from one clip to another. Had to use quicktime for now to export the movie.
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.
Why iMovie would update with this glitch is crazy! BUT, removing the first .5 seconds also fixed my problem and I was able to save the file. I am on MacBook Pro Sierra 10.12.6 using iMovie 10.1.7.
Very helpful.....First Part of My Film is damaged, After cutting everything Workshop fine.
Sorry......2nd Error later ,Same error:
If you show the correct rendered Part of your Video, at the End you can See where The Render Process is broken.
Thanks a lot it was the trick for me !
Exactly the same for me. Cut off the first 0.4 secons and it works. Crazy weird behaviour.
Yup, cutting the first small bit of the front worked for me too! I wasn't optimistic since it doesn't make sense, but was happy it worked!
I wrestled with this for A WHILE. Erasing the beginning of my clip did not work, but eliminating the "Slo-Mo" clip captured on my iPhone did the trick. Disappointing.
imovie not exporting video to file (error 10004)
