iMovie enables you to create videos right on your iOS or macOS device. The seamless connection between individual components of the Apple ecosystem means that you can start editing your video on your iPhone or iPad and finish it on your mac.
Unfortunately, the fun of creating videos on iMovie can be spoilt by errors like the video rendering error: 10008. This error mainly occurs when you try to render a video you have finalized.
The error happens when part of a video in the project cannot be interpreted by the software. So, when you try to render a video, the error message, The share operation “Master failed” has failed. Video rendering error: 10008 pops up.
In that case, you won’t be able to render the video file. Furthermore, you will be unable to import your videos to other platforms such as Facebook or YouTube. This article will show you the reasons why the error occurs and how to fix it.
What causes the video rendering error: 10008 in iMovie?
The following are the causes of the video rendering error: 10008.
- Corrupted or black frames at the end of videos in the project.
- Deleting videos that you have imported into the project from your device.
- Video files imported into the project might be of different formats.
Having identified the possible causes of the error, let’s look at how you can fix it.
There are three ways in which you can fix the error. Check them out below.
1. Remove the corrupted or black frames
As we have mentioned above, corrupted or black frames may cause the video rendering error: 10008. So, to fix the error, you need to identify the corrupted or black frames in your videos and remove them.
To locate them, go through your project frame by frame. You may come across frames with a completely black preview screen or where the video flickers. Such frames need to be cut from the video or be replaced with new ones. Try rendering your video again to check if the issue was fixed.

2. Ensure the videos are present on your system
iMovie allows you to import videos from your device into the project. However, successfully importing the videos does not mean you have to delete the videos from your device. This is because they might not be already saved by the software.
Changing the location of your files is similar to deleting them. This is so because the software checks the videos at specified locations.
To fix, ensure that the videos imported into your project are still in your device. You also have to move the videos back to the location they were when you were importing them into the project.
3. Format Video files
Sometimes, the error message may appear if the videos in the project are in different formats. In such a case, all you need to do is convert all your videos into similar formats.

With that, we hope you will be able to fix the error. Should you encounter any problems with the same, let us know in the comments section below.
