Hi, molliaba,

Possibly a corrupt preference is the cause, or a conflict, or a corrupt clip in the trailer.

Try opening iMovie while holding down the Option and Command keys and selecting to delete preferences in the box that appears. iMovie will open in a new library. Reopen your old library to get back to your projects. Now see if you can share out the Trailer without crashing.

Another thing you can try is booting up in Safe Mode (see Finder menu for instructions) and, after everything loads, immediately shut down and boot up in normal mode. Sometimes that clears out conflicts. Try sharing out again.

If still no luck, click on the Trailer's name under Project Media in the upper left of your screen. That will display the full clips of each clip used in the trailer. Slowly scroll through each one, looking for white flashes, black frames, artifacts, and any other indications of corruption. Cut out any that you see, and replace the clip in the trailer template. See if that solves it.
