Try deleting/Resetting preferences. To delete/reset preferences, open iMovie close and then open iMovie while holding down the Option and Command keys and select to delete preferences in the box that appears. iMovie will open in a new empty library. Reopen your old library to get back to your projects. Possibly you may need to reboot

to set the changes.  Deleting preferences is a safe procedure that will not cause data loss or disruption to your

project.
