MacOS – Attempting to share a video in iMovie ’13 results in error -50

I have updated to iMovie '13 (v10.01.0) and can no longer share my videos to Vimeo or export them. I get the following error message:

Video rendering error: -50

Why is this happening and what can I do to fix it?

That error isn't the most helpful, but you can do several things to rule out some easy problems:

  1. Export onto a different drive - plug in an external with at least 10 GB of space assuming your movie isn't more than 20 minutes long.
  2. Change the size and try re-exporting to your disk.
  3. Open the console app and search All Messages for iMovie errors and post them if they are not clear to you on next steps.
