Updated MacOS, then iMovie 8.0.6 to 10.1.12, lost projects and events
Hi folks, a friend of mine is having a serious issue with iMovie and while I'm technically savvy with computers, I don't use iMovie at all so please excuse any bad terminologies I use here.
He bought a Mac in Dec. 2016 and spent a good couple of years importing piles of video, editing them, creating videos, etc., etc., there's pages of projects in the list. Then he upgraded to Mac OS Mojave 10.14 and upgraded iMovie from 8.0.6 to 10.1.12.
In his words "everything is gone!!!" and he's extremely upset. What I see are a list of projects on the side but when you click on them, there's nothing inside. It reads 'Import Media':
I read others with the same issue so I tried to 'update projects and events' and the process starts, goes for a couple minutes, then it crashes with an error.
Can anyone help with my distraught friend?
