iMovie won't close out after new update on my Mac mini

Since I updated my Mac mini a couple weeks ago, iMovie won't close any more. It keeps saying it must complete other tasks. When I check the activity toolbar, there is no activity.

Cannot scroll through iMovie transitions on MacBook Air. I am unable to access all of the transitions on iMovie since the latest update. Its cuts off the 3rd row of transitions and scrolling does absolutely nothing. I can scroll through the other options; backgrounds, titles etc but not transitions. I have already restarted my MacBook several times and there are no other updates available. The attached image shows where iMovie cuts off the transitions. Tabbing through them doesn't work, the scrolling function doesn't work and I have had to copy and paste my commonly used transitions from previous videos but this doesn't always work. Is anyone else having this problem and does anyone have any idea on how to fix it?

iMovie 10.3.4 issue with OS 12.5 I have a MacBook Pro (2019) running OS Monterey 12.5 with iMovie 10.3.4 version. When I launch the app, I get the spinning rainbow ball, and I have to force quit to close. Prior to updating to OS 12.5, iMovie was working perfectly (I had Catalina OS). I tried reloading iMovie, but to no avail. Is this now a common issue with 12.5 and iMovie? Do I need to reinstall Catalina? Please advise.
