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.
My iMovie library would not open as well. I reset my preferences and then reopened iMovie. A status bar appeared saying it was backing up library. It finally opened after about 1/2 hour. I have a 2.2TB library.
Reset iMovie
iMovie will reset your preferences and open with default settings.
Yes that is what I do. But the share function is where the delay happens. It takes 9-12 HOURS to share to the .mov format for uploading to YouTube. Prior to Monterey exactly the same process took 20 minutes.
ARGH!!!!! This is not like APPLE!!!!! The update helped, but I can't hold audio to hear what is going on in the editing process. WHERE IS APPLE on this? This is the 2nd release in a row which is impacting our business. They have screwed up screen sharing last year and now we can't edit? COME ON APPLE!!!!! Do we need to go back to a PC after all these years of being with you???
Please respond!!!!!
And also, what version of iMovie are you using?

the same here can take up to ten minutes to open a project
Same issue here! Apple! Please fix this iMovie in Monterrey issue ASAP!
Exactly the same issue for me! Library stuck on loading.
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?
Same issue! I still have 2 pending projects and I need to finish it asap!!
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, this audio problem is also happening with me.
iMovie vs Monterey - major problems
