I am trying to create a video in iMovie from recordings from my seventh generation ipod Touch. I have tried several times with the same result. My iMac has 150 GB of free space.
When I try to create a high quality video at 720p with High Quality and Compress at Better Quality then iMovie will say that the resultant file will be 45-55 GB and ~ 8 hours in length.
Sometimes iMovie will then use all the free disk space and then stall and sometimes it will finish exporting the file but the file will be corrupted or incomplete with two or three different associated files; for example the last attempt created a My Movie.mp4 at 23.76 GB and also a My Movie.mp4.sb-fd04069b-y1quBp at 42.38 GB.
Opening the former file with Quicktime shows that the video will play almost halfway and then freeze at a still image. What could be the problem here? Do I have enough free disk space? Is there something that I'm neglecting to do? For each of my attempts I started with a fresh project and cleared rendered files from iMovie. I have the latest version of MacOS and the latest version of iMovie. The original iPod recordings are on disk too.
Please help.
