I was having the same problem, then I closed down all the other pages and applications I had open and tried again and it worked. Don’t know if maybe the computer was just too busy and that’s what “error-108″ is?

Did you ever get an answer to this problem of ‘error 108). It’s happening to me on my new 2009 Imac Leopard with a large movie HD.

Thanks

Memo to Apple: You do have some great products. Unfortunately, iMovie ‘08 has been unbearably cumbersome & convoluted to execute what I expect to be a simple task. I’ve been trying to trim a little bit of film for a Flash project and I have experienced nothing but frustration. After reviewing other comments and the interface itself, you seem to be diverting all operations to your Quicktime & Apple-exclusive programs. Thanks for wasting my time; I will do my best in the future to avoid any financial support for the cancerous monopoly you seem to encourage.

13 year old kids apparently can’t write a simple blog entry. You’d get thrown out of university if you did that.

I agree! I hate the new iMovie! It took me while to figure out how to use it because it’s so drastically different from every other nonlinear editing program (INCLUDING the previous iMovie versions), and then once I had figured it all out, I was shocked to realize that there were no special effects! Not even basic ones! The special effects were one of iMovie’s best features! I wish they hadn’t gotten rid of them. As we speak, I’m at the Apple store and they’re still selling special effects plug-in packs, so if the new iMovie is truly not compatible with those, then it’s a good thing you can still get the old one.

I’m having issues with iMovie 7.1.1 and can not export large movies, always get error -108. Smaller movies export ok.

I need to ask if you have heard of error -108 in imovie. I’ve been trying to render a 40 min project made mostly of static pictures and music and very few video clips. And i’ve been very unsuccesfull

Thanks
