Crashing can be caused by a number of things. Nothing to do but try some
diagnostics to isolate the problem. Here's a link with some procedures that you
can try:

Sometimes a crashing problem can be caused by something as simple as a
corrupt preference. Although you already tried this, again try opening iMovie
while holding down the Option and Command keys and selecting to delete
preferences in the box that appears. iMovie will open in a new library. Reopen
your old library to get back to your projects.
Also, there could be a conflict somewhere that is causing the crashing. You
could try booting up in Safe Mode (see Finder menu for instructions) and, after
everything loads, immediately shut down and reboot in normal mode. Then see if
iMovie works properly.
Make sure that you have enough space for your movie on your destination drive, and enough space on your internal drive for iMovie to operate efficiently.
Try opening iMovie in a different user account.
