Having uncertain results in exporting a slideshow in iPhoto to QT 
movie. Made one movie that played music and showed the slides but 
not the music or the "snapshot" theme I just set up in iPhoto! It 
just decided to do its own thing in the QT movie, different music 
and different plainer theme!

I often get a OSStatus error, the operation could not be 
completed -9459 when trying to export a slide show I like, either 
as a slide show or as a movie. Have not been able to find what 
trouble this means. 

I have about 300 pics and I can make them any size. They started 
very large but I have a test folder where each is only about 20K! 
In case there are memory problems. Working on a year old MB with 
4G of RAM, running SL and all software is up to date.

I was about to ask a totally different question about a similar error msg.

Why would iPhoto refuse to export one photo but be perfectly willing to
export the ones on either side of it?

OK, it's an older iPhoto, but this is pretty basic.

In trying to pin down my own iPhoto export problems I found that 
Fireworks could not open some of the jpgs. Photoshop could! Once 
'saved as' in PS, its algorithms being first class, FW could. So 
that is something I am doing right now: finding out which of 
several hundred files have some sort of problem with them that 
are show stopper in some programs. 

I know it is not anything to do with file names (at least if the 
test of 'change the name in Finder and then try to open' is a 
valid one). 

In my case I will batch process the hundreds in FW and weed out 
the ones that cannot be opened by consulting 
FireworksBatchLog.txt, batch these in PS and see if Bob might 
agree to be my uncle.

I have come across this phenomenon a lot in the past, jpgs can be 
prepared in all sorts of software. Mine were scans prepared on 
anything but Mac gear or software.
