iMovie update stuck on permissions pop-up

I think iMovie just updated (Version 3.0.4) but even though I accepted the new permissions, the pop up refuses to leave. I thought it just needed time to load, but it’s been loading for TWO HOURS. I have a lot of school projects that need to get done and this update is screwing me over.


What should I do? I really don’t want to delete anything, but I’m running out of time….

This worked for me (resetting location & privacy settings) as suggested by hugh_giraffe. Went into settings and reset ONLY location & privacy settings. Restarted ipad and then iMovie let me continue by resetting permissions on access to my photo library.
