Hi, I keep getting the following error when trying to export in iMovie on my MacBook Air:
*** -[AVAssetWriterInput setExtendedLanguageTag:] extendedLanguageTag english_GB does not conform to the IETF BCP 47 (RFC 4646) language identifier
I've tried different export settings but the error persists and I haven't found anything about it. Has anyone else had it / solved it?
Thanks!
Macbook Air, Intel i5 1.6, Ventura 13.5
For some reason, iMovie is not reading the language identifier.
Try deleting/resetting preferences. To delete/reset preferences open iMovie while holding down the Option and Command keys and select to delete preferences in the box that appears. iMovie will open in a new empty library. Reopen your old library to get back to your projects. Possibly you may need to reboot to set the changes. Deleting preferences is a safe procedure that will not cause data loss or disruption to your project.
You also could try changing the region to the United States or Europe, and see if that helps. You can always change it back. Changing the region might make it more difficult to use the app store or buy Apple products.
If you can't resolve it, you can notify Apple of this issue here:

Thanks for replying, solved it! You definitely got me in the right direction - Setting the region didn't do it but adding "English - UK" to the "Preferred Languages" (it was just set to "English") seems to have solved it.
Thanks again!
Great! Glad it's solved.
