iMovie Failing error 10004

Every time I try to create and export of movie in iMovie, I get the following code:

Video rendering error: 10004 (iMovie error 10004: renderVideoFrame failed)

Previously I was able to make a movie without any trouble, but now it won't seem to work.

There likely is some corruption in your project. Expand your timeline fully and scroll through, looking for black frames, white flashes, artifacts and any other signs of corruption. Cut out any that you find and try to export again. If you want to preserve your original work, then make a duplicate of the project and work with the duplicate.
