I tried most of the above, didn't solve it!

I even tried using latest ver. of final cut pro and same thing happened!!

So I installed the previous version of FCP .. and it was OK!

I'm sure that the latest updates of iMovie and FCP conflicts with my mac!

I just want to downgrade to the previous version of iMovie 10.2.3 but couldn't find it.

Passing along info from another's recent post, apparently Apple has done an update (10.2.5) to iMovie 10.2.4 that purports to cure the crashing problem for different regions. So, update to iMovie 10.2.5 and see if that cures it.

It may be a bug. More likely that it’s a conflict with something on your computer, as you have observed. If it is a bug , then nobody can help but Apple. You will need to wait for Apple to fix it with an update.

However, before drawing any conclusions you might consider trying all, not just most, of the diagnostic procedures that I gave you. Then you will either have resolved it or you will have ruled out some issues for when you contact Apple Support.

OMG It really works.

I don't believe this way of doing it. But I tried many ways above, that's not helpful. I wanted to give up so I think it's okay to try. And it works!

But Apple need to fix this bug. I dont want to change my region when export a video.

Thank you for sharing.

You are welcome. Keeping software apps up to date generally is good practice. Sometimes, though, updates can be a pain. I'm still running iMovie 10.1.12 on Mojave, because it works perfectly fine.

Having the same problem. Since the latest update to 10.2.4, iMovie quits every time I want to share/export anything. I’ve tried all the usual corrections: I have quit and restarted the app; quit and restarted the computer; refreshed NVram; tried creating a new iMovie library; deleted preferences for iMovie; and deleted and reinstalled the application. Nothing seems to work. Anyone else having problems with iMovie since the latest update?
