Kathleen, I'm no expert but in view of your urgency I dare to reply. I don't know about iMovie as I use Premiere, so I don't know how relevant this might be. However, I would get a similar result if I attempted to download the movie directly from the Timeline without first rendering it as a separate process. If you try to do both at the same time the computer doesn't have the processing speed to cope with both tasks especially if you have used filters/effects or multiple tracks. Also, I was under the impression that you need QT Pro not the Player to capture or export video.
