Every time I attempt to export my iMovie to Youtube, email, a file, anything, iMovie crashes immediately.
I have about 30% of my memory free.
I've cleared the cache files.
The iMovie project in question is maybe 6 1/2 minutes long, so not exactly an epic here.
Any thoughts? Thank you!
I assume that the crashing is happening with all of your projects. If you have not tried opening more than one project, try some others to rule out corruption that might be confined to just one project.
If the crashing is global, here are five procedures that you can try to address issue:
2.If still no luck, try booting up in Safe Mode (see Finder help menu for instructions) and as soon as everything loads immediately shut down and restart in normal mode. Sometimes that clears out conflicts that cause crashes.
3.If the problem persists, try opening iMovie in a new library by opening iMovie while holding down the Option key and, in the box that appears, choose a different library or create a new library. See if that works. If you create a new library populate it with a project or two to test.
4.Try opening iMovie in a new user account, either one you create or by using the Guest account on your Mac. See if iMovie works properly there.
5.All else failing, try redownloading iMovie from the online app store. To do that, move your current iMovie app from the Applications folder to the trash, but do not empty the trash. Then go to the app store, sign in, and navigate to your Purchases folder and redownload iMovie. If for some reason you can't get a new download, move your old iMovie app from the trash to the Applications folder.
