I am cutting my video in iMovie. The view and edition are fine. When I render and export the video there is an error happened and show "error code 10008" said "render video frame fail"


Anyone know how to fix it?

Error 10008 usually means that there is a corrupt frame or clip somewhere in the project. Try scrolling slowly through the project, looking for black frames, white flashes, jiggles, artifacts and anything else that looks like corruption. If you find any, cut them out of the project and render it again. You might want to work with duplicates of the project so that you keep your original intact.


If it is a really long project, work with duplicates and split the project in half and render one half to see if you get a good export. A good export means that the corruption is not in that half, but located in the other half. Keep splitting and rendering until you narrow it down to footage where the corruption likely resides, and then you can do the slow scrolling method to locate and remove it.
