The most obvious one: the file you are trying to import is corrupted, so the iMovie crashes. … Video codecs allow for video files to be compressed and decompressed, so if the file codec is not supported, well, iMovie<\/strong> does not know what to do with it and you get a file codec problem.<\/p>\n Similarly, how do I stop iMovie<\/strong> from crashing<\/strong> when I export? <\/p>\n Correspondingly, how do I fix iMovie<\/strong> from crashing when I open it? Start iMovie<\/strong> while holding down the Option key and selecting to open in a new library from the box that appears. If iMovie<\/strong> starts, try copying your projects one by one from the old library to the new library, and close and open iMovie each time until iMovie crashes again.<\/p>\n Frequent question, how do I empty my iMovie cache? iMovie now has a \u201cDelete Render Files\u201d button right inside its preferences window (opened via Cmd+, ). You should be able to just open your preferences and use that button to clear any unnecessary hard drive space.<\/p>\n Likewise, will my iMovie save if I force quit? Answer: A: Answer: A: Every action (import, edit etc.) is saved as you work so force-quitting should at most affect an action that was not completed.<\/p>\n iMovie Export Failed There are many factors that may cause export failure. Like lack of computer space, corrupted project, or wrong export file name. Solution: Check if the storage space is available on your Mac device to assure enough space for movie exporting.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n You may have noticed iMovie slowing down if you have other programs open on your desktop. To speed it up, close all the apps you don’t need. And don’t forget to quit all the background processes that demand power, such as Energy Savers, Spotlight Search, Time Machine, and FileVault.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n When we talk about \u201ciMovie, not enough disk space\u201d error, of course, the first thing that comes to mind is that you’ll have to clear up space to resolve the issue. … Erase iMovie projects that are not up-to-date. Clear up your iMovie library of unnecessary projects and events. Delete clips that already have no use for …<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Open iMovie and attempt to reproduce your issue. If iMovie works, reconnect devices one at a time until you can reproduce your issue. Restart your Mac after reconnecting a device if the device requires it. If iMovie still doesn’t work, you might need to update your device’s firmware or have the device serviced.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n You might need a Wi-Fi connection to update some apps. If your installed app won’t open, download and install a free app that isn’t on your iOS device. This should reset your Apple ID authorization. Remember to use the same Apple ID that you used to download the app that you’re having issues with.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n No harm in deleting render files. The Original Media folder, on the other hand, contains the actual original media that you imported into the project. If you delete anything in there you disable the project and remove the original media from the system. You might also corrupt your library.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n When you import iMovie version 9 (iMovie 11) projects and events into iMovie version 10, it takes up a little more space, but not a lot. This is because, iMovie 10 uses hard links (similar to the hard links in Time Machine) to point to the physical video files, so they are not duplicated.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Answer: A: Answer: A: Yes, I’m afraid that if you deleted your iMovie library, and you have no Time Machine or other backups, you’ve lost your projects.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Answer: A: Answer: A: To force quit an application, choose Force Quit from the Apple menu (or press Command-Option-Esc), then choose the unresponsive application in the Force Quit window, and click Force Quit.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The most obvious one: the file you are trying to import is corrupted, so the iMovie crashes. … Video codecs allow for video files to be compressed and decompressed, so if the file codec is not supported, well, iMovie does not know what to do with it and you get a file codec problem.
