    Thank you, "holding down Option and Command keys while clicking to open iMovie" then reseting iMovie preferences resolved this issue for me.  : )

    Other solutions provided here, including remove and reinstall did not work.

     

    Best,

    Pedro

    Correction, iMovie crashed after clicking "Continue -> Get Started" on the iMovie Welcome to iMovie window.

     

    Since iMovie did not crash on other profiles, I deleted "all" iMovie content on my profile.  Open a terminal and run the following command.

    $ find ~ -name *imovie*


    Delete the iMovie libraries find returns. 

    $ rm -rf "/Users/pedro/Library/Containers/com.apple.iMovieApp" "/Users/pedro/Movies/iMovie Library.imovielibrary"

     

    Your username, though possibly equally awesome, will probably be different from mine, so adjust the command above accordingly.
