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?

iMovie exports successfully, but only exports incomplete section of my video I exported my 7:58 minutes video into file, 1080p, medium quality, and it exported successfully, but the result is only a 2:38 minute long clip, which is from the beginning of my video to 2:38, where it just freezes and stops. I tried with other resolutions and video qualities, same result. I tried export to YouTube and Facebook also got the same result, but when I export audio alone it works. I want to export video, the full video, how do I fix this issue? please help. ps I already restarted laptop several times and also restarted iMovie many times. plz help thanks.
