After the most recent update of iMovie, when I try to launch it, it wil bounce a bit then just sit there like its open but if I right click, it says its not responding. If I delete and reinstall it opens one then the next time, I have the same problem.
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
Make sure you are launching the latest version. The software update download will put it in the apps folder along side your older versions. Drag the new app icon to the Dock for easy accessibility.
Mine put the old one in a folder(9.x) and the new one (10.x) with all the others.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

THE ONLY THINGS I DID BETWEEN THEM WAS WORK ON A PROJECT, ALL THE VIDEO WAS ALREADY THERE WITH SUCCESSFUL LOADS, THEN I DETACHED AUDIO AND MUTED IT. NOW ITS NOT LOADING AGAIN
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iMovieApp
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Thank you Linc, this post works for me as well, you saved me to work all night long.
Best
