I recently update iMovie Version: 10.1.3 via app store update. Now, when ever I open the update version it crashes after one second. Shortly after I receive a pop up problem report screen stating iMovie quit unexpectedly. I have reviewed other comments that states the same problem. Need to know if there is a solution to stop iMovie from crashing.
Sincerely,

How do i find this folder??
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iMovieApp
How do I find this folder??
1. Click on finder (lower left corner, the little square face)
2. On the upper side of the screen click "GO"
3. You are going to get a drop down menu. Press and HOLD the "alt-option" key on the bottom left side of your keyboard. The word "Library" is going to appear on the "GO" drop down menu. The word "Library" will "only" appear when you press on the "alt-option" key on your keyboard. Keep pressing the "alt-option" key and click on "Library" on the drop down menu.
4. You are going to get a screen with folders, look for the folder named "Containers" and Click on it.
5. After clicking on "Containers" You are going to get another screen with folders, look for the one named "Com.Apple.Imovie app" This is the folder "to my understanding" has to be deleted. By dragging it to the trash bin icon on the lower right corner of the screen. You may go a step forward by emptying the trash bin and deleting the file for good.
Thank you for directions! Worked perfectly.
I deleted the folder and my projects/videos are fine
deleted folder and projects are still there.
I posted this on another thread where 'Rich' was very helpful in pointing me the way to find the iMoveApp in the 'Container' folder.
However, erring on the side of caution, in the iMoveApp I had a look in this folder before deleting. I noted un 'Data' it was showing folders with a lot stuff not connected to iMovies including Downloads, Desktop, Pictures and all my iTunes. Don't know why that is all in there. So, I deleted (ie, moved to Trash) some old unwanted docs, pics and movies from the various places and found these were all deleted from their stored locations! This would indicate deleting this App from Containers would delete all my itunes, pictures, documents etc so I am reluctant to delete this file.
I think I now know when I lost iMovie. I was opening a Keynote file to edit when it crashed. I can access iMovies ok if I log in as a guest user.
That worked for me! Thanks.
