I am running iMove 10.1.5 on my MacBook Pro, which is running Sierra OS. I am trying to export one of my movies to a file. When I click share to file, it immediately returns an error message "Share Failed". The details of the error says "Exporting My Movie Has Failed. The operation couldn't be completed (com.apple.Compressor.CompressorKit.ErrorDomain error -1.) Can anyone please tell me how to fix this? Thanks!
MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.12
Thank you for your response. I started with the easiest approaches ( booting up in safe mode and then rebooting in normal mode, updating iMovie, etc), but with no luck. I finally decided to upgrade my OS to Catalina, which then prompted another upgrade in iMovie for the App Store. This fortunately seems to have taken care of the problem.

Hi,
The Compressor Kit Error message has been reported with increasing frequency
of late. No universal fix so far, although lately users with the problem have
been able to fix it by updating/upgrading iMovie and, if necessary, the
operating system. Also sometimes
successful is starting up in Safe Mode (see Finder menu for instructions) and
then after everything loads immediately shutting down and rebooting in normal
mode.
Here's a link, though older, that describes what others have tried with the
Compressor Kit Error:

There may be some proposed solutions in the above link that will work for
you.
All else failing, try calling Apple Support. The techs there are very savvy
and also have the capability of remotely accessing your computer. Click on the
Contact Support item in the upper right hand corner of this screen and navigate
to a place where you can provide your telephone number so that Apple Support
can call you back. I think that the file path is Contact Support/Mac OS/Applications/iMovie,
or something like that.
Good luck with this. If you have time, post back with your results, as it
may assist others who have this perplexing issue.
