I have macbook pro retina, 2015. Processor: 3.1 GHz, Intel Core i7. Memory: 16 GB.
Ive been using iMovie for a while and this is the first time i've encountered this problem, before restarting, it would freeze for a few seconds. I cant delete/ reinstall iMovie as I have projects that I need to upload.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks!
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)
Hey Geoff,
I have the same problem with my macbook pro (13" 2012 8GB Ram) .
I re-installed Imovie but the same problem occurs when i export any project, wether small or large.
it happens on any export type and all videos i tried.
This problem started when i first started working with max for abletonlive, started using Vizzable.
(a plug in that allows you to play video in Ableton live)
My laptop sometimes restarts when i am changing settings in a Ableton session that has video tracks as well.
Is it possible I overcharged my video-card and damaged it?
my laptop is running a bit slower since then as well...
Deleting and reinstalling iMovie application will not affect any of your projects and events in your library. Maybe worth a try. Whether it will help depends on the cause of the problem. If it works OK if you log in to your mac as a guest then it suggests the problem is due to the configuration of your user account.

I deleted it but now its asking me to pay in order to reinstall. Also it does the same thing on the guest account, does this mean its a hardware issue?
" it does the same thing on the guest account". You could deleting the iMovie preferences file, but it looks like the problem might be with iMovie. Does the restart happen for any share or only when trying to share a particular project? If the latter, it could be due to some particular problem with the project but the worst that would normally happen is the iMovie crashes and not the whole computer.
For re-downloading make sure you are logged in at the App Store with the same Apple ID as was used to set up the computer when it was new. iMovie should appear under the "Purchases" tab. It could be hidden for solving this see; Hide and unhide purchases in the Mac App Store - Apple Support
Geoff.
Whenever I try to share any project, my macbook will restart after a few seconds. I am currently reinstalling iMovie (it was hidden), hopefully that will work, thank you so much for your help!
My imovie causes my macbook to restart every time i try to export.
