iMovie will not open my iMovie Projects

By resetting iMovie preferences, I was able to reopen iMovie on my Mac for the first time since Apple's iMovie update on 3/21/19. But I still can't access my projects in iMovie. When I try to do that the spinning beach ball appears, iMovie fails to respond, and I am forced to Force Quit iMovie. What should I do now?

iMac 27" 5K, macOS 10.14

I called apple support. They too told me to boot up in safe mode, wait for everything to load, and immediately reboot in normal mode. iMovie then converted my incompatible files and opened my projects. Thanks for your help, and for coming to the right answer so quickly.
