iMovie keeps crashing on my 27" iMac (MacOS Catalina 10.15) and i can't find why. After about 10 seconds it just closes and i get the following report.

Try booting up in Safe Mode (see Finder menu for instructions) and, after everything loads, immediately shut down and

reboot in normal mode. Then see if iMovie stops crashing.

If Safe Mode doesn't cure it, try resetting the System Management Controller per instructions in this link:
