iMovie export hangs and never completes. Last successful export was September 3, 2024.
I am trying to export an iMovie project, and rendering/export never completes/finalizes. It will be stuck overnight.
Last successful export performed was on September 3rd. Reviewing my "Installations" list under "System Information", I see that related updates are as follows:
MacOS 14.6.1 update on 9/10/24 (previously on 14.5)
iMovie 10.4.2 update on 9/19/24
I have reviewed various threads across the web, and have checked/performed the following:
- Ensure I have enough space
- Reset iMovie preferences
- Disconnected audio from clips that are in slow motion
- Reset NVRAM
- Reset SMC
- Upgraded MacOS to 15.1
I am unable to roll back the iMovie version to test to further isolate this issue of being a bug related to iMovie, but I suspect it may be.
Additionally, I have recently upgraded my iPhone 12 Pro Max to iPhone 16 Pro Max. There are some videos recorded on the 16 in these problematic videos.
I am technical, so very open to further suggestions for me to try. TIA!
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 15.1
