Hi, I am currently running MacOs 10.12.6 Sierra, i don't want to update due to the oldness of my mac, therefore I am running imovie 10.1. However, recently when I click to export to a file it crashes the second I click file! Any suggestions to fix this without having to update to Catalina would be appreciated!
MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.12
Hmmmm. You've tried most of the diagnostics that are used to isolate the cause of the conflict. However, you used Time Machine rather than reinstalling through the app store. You want to do an update of iMovie. Therfore, I would definitely update your iMovie 10.1.1 to the highest version that can be used with Sierra. Use this procedure:
To update/redownload iMovie 10, to highest version that will run on your operating system, drag your iMovie 10 app from the Applications folder into the trash, but do not empty the trash. 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
10. Redownload/update iMovie from there. If not successful, drag your present iMovie app out of the trash and return it to the
Applications folder.

Hi, Sebastian1900,
Possibly there is some corruption in your iMovie library.
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 blank library. Import some media and create a project in the new library. Now see if you can export without crashing. You can get back to your old projects by reopening your old library.

I have also unistalled and reinstalled imovie using clean my mac and time machine...

Could I possibly upgrade my imovie to 10.1.1, that with sierra to see if this fixes the problem?
Imovie crashes the second I click to export to file?
