Hello all,
I am literally so angry right now and immensely frustrated, but I will try and calm down enough to explain my situation with the hopes of finding a solution that doesn't require me starting my project over from scratch.
I am editing a project on iMovie HD (6.0.4) because I am not a fan of the newer versions. Recently, I have been some problems with iMovie, wether it is that the program is running and performing tasks too slow, or having launch issues -- like I am right now. I have used this program many times in the past and it has worked fine usually... sometimes it would crash, and while frustrating, it happens.
However, now, I have been working on editing a project for a couple days here and I have saved and closed and saved and closed it several times and today it suddenly decides that it wants to start giving me launch issues when I double-click my project file and try to boot it up. Like I said, I click the project icon and it begins to load up and shows me the "load data bar" as it loads the several elements of my project. I might see the rainbow wheel for a second and *boop* nothing appears. When I right click on the iMovie icon in my dock it says "Application Not Responding"... yadda, yadda, yadda...
I am sick and tired of these iMovie issues. The best I have seemed to get it where my project window seems to appear but for some reason it is all locked up and it doesn't give me any clickable interface. I see my timeline but it is just a solid un-editable bar of audio and on the preview window it just shows a still from where I last saved my project... I don't get what is happening here. It seems as though my project has been corrupted for some reason, which I sure as hell hope it's not considering I've already poured hours into this project... and I am irate. I have no idea where to go from here and I really do not care to start over. How the heck can this happen? From simply saving and exiting your project and booting it up later on?? I DON'T GET IT!!
Sooo... I have tried rebooting my iMac with Safe Boot Mode... that didn't do anything. I heard you could try deleting the Preferences folder for iMovie but I couldn't find that and I feel it wouldn't do anything anyway. Like I said, I am supremely pissed off at all this... I feel like punching my computer like a caveman, yeah, I am that mad!
If anybody can offer some solutions. I'd greatly appreciate it...
