iMovie does not work if you upgrade to Monterey. Be forewarned! I opened a ticket and it is a known problem. Ugh! Must wait for new update either Monterey or iMovie app. Please Apple, you're better than this.
Started a thread here too. I can't open projects in my iMovie library -- gets stuck on "Loading" with the spinning beach ball. Assuming that's the same thing you're seeing, I'm actually glad to hear that it's a known problem, so it's not just me...
I was using iMovie 10.3 (the version that came out a week or two before Monterey) under Big Sur without issues, so my guess is that it's something to do with Monterey.
Yes. It takes a long time but I can edit and export. Lots of patience is required.
Exactly the same issue for me! Library stuck on loading.
Unfortunately, this looks like an issue that Apple will need to solve with an update. Everybody on this forum is an iMovie user like yourself.

I have the same problem but it only takes about 15 minutes to load a 9 minute film. i can edit it but there are some issues with photos too i think
Where do I open a ticket?
I upload as a file on my desktop then from there upload to YouTube. Mine is an hour long in length. No problems once it's saved as a desktop file.
Same issue! I still have 2 pending projects and I need to finish it asap!!
Hi rich, same problem,
monterey 12.0.1, MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2016, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports), 15 with 2.9 ghz and 16gn ram
iMovie 10.3.1
i can load the clips but when i start to edit, my computer crashes
Any updates or fixes for this? I am getting to the point where I would uninstall Monterey and go back to Big Sur. I really hope not to do that.
Yes there is an update in the App Store and this issue is resolved for the most part. I think it’s still slightly slow compared to previous versions. But it’s fully usable now with the update.
Yes, this audio problem is also happening with me.
iMovie vs Monterey - major problems
