How to Export iMovie to MP4 Using QuickTime.QuickTime is the pre-installed media player for all Mac computers.

Given your post above, I assume there must be plenty of other ways to invoke this bug and I am now leaving my render well alone and not even breathing on the computer it is running on. If you click on it to bring up the status (time remaining) window and then close the status window, the progress wheel disappears off the face of the earth and your render is abandoned - taking all trace of your cherished rendering files with it. I have a very good idea why you are having trouble with the export progress wheel. Thanks for participating in Apple Support Communities. The default QuickTime format it exports is MP4.
