iMovie 10.1.3 crash

Thank-you Macjett! I was at the end of my rope until I followed your instructions. Worked like a charm on my iMac.

no one with the same problem ?

Thank you very much for sharing this. I can confirm that deleting the folder in the user´s Library/Containers/ worked. iMovie now started up again and did not crash anymore when restoring / converting the projects after the update.

Thanks Andjey51. Works fine now !

What's in this folder? I have a movie I'm right in the middle of and I'm afraid I'm going to lose it. What am I deleting if I delete this folder?

Hi Macjett,

I had the same issue this evening as downloaded Mac OS Sierra this afternoon all went well everything went across all good but had issue with iMovie 10.1.3 after installed then there was a new release one I re-installed that straight after installing 5 apps with the new iMovie maybe that had something to do with it.

I followed your step by step what you wrote and deleted the iMovie into trash as haven't yet removed from trash completely i even went to update again in Applications as still current now updating but think should be fine as I opened up and came up as welcome then clicked on prompts and there was our old videos from Lion iMovie as hadn't done no upgrades from Lion due to some reviews on Yosemite & on El Capitain. Even contacted Apple to ensure was right to go ahead without previous installments. Sent email to Apple to call them tomorrow about iMovie 10.1.3 but don't think need to now following your instructions. I'll keep old one for another day in trash or re-check now again before emptying as kept incase needed if had to ring Apple. Thankyou so much helped me alot & deleting the folder from Containers in Library etc.

Thanks so much for your help. It worked and the panic is subsiding! 🙂

I can confirm that deleting ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iMovieApp as suggested above worked perfectly for me. Brilliant discovery.

Wow thank you so, so much... I was searching a solution for about 2h and nothing worked.... I wasn't able to find the data in the "Catches" folder, as mostly suggested... nearly I deinstalled the whole program, although there are some unfinished, important projects on it... I´m so grateful that it didn't have to come that far THANK YOU!

A simpler fix that worked for me -- I just did an uninstall/reinstall. Obviously make sure you can download it again for free from the app store first. I also moved my projects and library folders to my desktop first out of an abundance of caution, but after reinstalling, it's worked fine (knock on wood).

Thanks Andjey51...It works !!! I try to solve this problem by many ways for whole day.

Thank you very much ^ ^

I did exactly what you said and all my projects and movies are still there. Thanks

Great thanks. Worked for me too.

This was exactly what I needed to do! It worked perfectly!! Thank you SO much!!🙂
