iMovie, final cut, quick time player crashing

I try to play videos on IMOVIE OR FINAL CUT PRO and the apps crash immediately….


I tried to trim a video simply on Quicktime player and it crashed as well.


I just bought this Mac and I did a backup from a previous one…


The files I’m trying to play are taken with a Gopro in 4k, main reason why I bought this laptop.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

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

reboot in normal mode. Then see if the crashing problem is solved.


If still no luck, try opening your apps in a new user account. You can use the Guest app on your Mac for this purpose or create a new user account from System Preferences/Users and Groups.


If still no luck, try these two procedures:


Resetting the System Management Controller


Try resetting the System Management Controller (but no longer available for the new M1 computers):

Resetting the NVRAM or PRAM


Try resetting the NVRAM or PRAM, although this issue would be fairly rare:
