iMovie not exporting on Sequoia

I just purchased a new MacBook Pro so it's running on Sequoia 15.2. I've been working previously on a MacBook Pro with Sonoma 14.6.1. I've been using iMovie for my YouTube videos for the last three years with no problem. I tried my first video edit on Sequoia and it won't export. I've done the Sequoia updates, iMovie updates, created a new library for the project before starting. The editing process went fine. Space shouldn't be an issue. The file is I think 4.46 gb. Said the export should take 20 minutes. It gets to 11 min and is just frozen there. I've tried rebooting and starting over multiple times and it just freezes. I'm not a tech and have very basic skills so I could use some help. I saw one post somewhere that suggested deleting render files and I did that as well. I have very basic skills so detailed steps would be appreciated. Thank you.


MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 14.6
