unable to export in imovie using high sierra

I am unable to export in iMovie. I'm using macOS High Sierra 10.13.6. My iMac is 4K, 21.5 inch (2017) 3.4Ghz Intel Core i5.


I am unable to export to file, or youtube or anything. It was working fine last time I used it which was about a month ago I think. I'm. not saving to an external drive.


I've looked up some suggestions, I've deleted the preferences in iMovie, I've restarted my computer, I've created a new library, but I keep coming up with the same error, see attached, I'd love any advice.


Thanks Lisa

To update iMovie 10, drag your iMovie app from the Applications folder into the trash, but do not

empty the trash. Then sign in to the app store and open your purchases folder

by clicking on your name at the bottom of the app store side bar. You will see

your purchases displayed, including iMovie. Redownload/update iMovie from

there. If not successful, drag your present iMovie app out of the trash and

return it to the Applications folder.
