Hi, sumeet97,


Possibly there is some corruption in your iMovie library.


Try opening iMovie while holding down the Option and Command keys and

selecting to delete preferences in the box that appears. iMovie will open in a

new blank library. Import some media and create a project in the new library.

Now see if you can export without crashing. You can get back to your old

projects by reopening your old library.

Just to confirm the procedure, you are creating a new project in the new library, not moving a project from the existing library.


The crash report indicates that the termination reason is related to your library system. Try resetting your System Management Controller. It is easy to do. See this link for instructions:

Also, update your software to current as you can get, as sometimes older versions with different update dates can clash with one another.
