iMovie 10.4.1 Stalling On Export To File

Hi, I'm trying to help a friend export a video project to file but the export keeps stalling out with approx. 1/8th of the processing left to go (going by the little pie shaped indicator at least).


We've tried it on two systems with the same result:

A MacBook Pro 13" M1 2020 & a MacBook Pro 16" M1 Pro 2021 - Both running Sonoma 14.5 & iMovie 10.4.1.


We've also tried cutting the video down in size (original was 1:06:18) and this hasn't worked, nor has any of her older projects that exported fine on the prior version of iMovie.


We've also tried reseting iMovie and relinking the library but that hasn't worked either.


Is anyone else having this issue or have any ideas for a fix?

MacBook Pro (M1, 2020)

Having the same issue. Sharing using both "Social Platforms" and "File" formats (1080) are hanging on iMovie 10.4.1 on two of my computers - Ventura 13.6.7 (i5) and Sonoma 14.5 (M1). I have tried restarting and resetting iMovie preferences. I have also tried moving the events and project to a new library. Same result every time... iMovie stalls/hangs during the export and canceling does nothing... must force quit.
