Before you begin, make sure to back up your iMovie libraries, your media, and the iMovie app.
After trying each step below, test iMovie again to see if you've fixed your issue.

If you use an external device with iMovie like a camera, reset NVRAM:
Choose Apple menu > App Store, then click Updates. If an iMovie update is available, click Update to download and install it.
Make sure you're using a camera and media format that works with iMovie. If you can't find your camera listed or need further assistance, contact the manufacturer of the device for support.
If you're using a third-party video interface with your Mac, check with the manufacturer for firmware or other software updates for your device.
You can create a new library and test project to check if the issue is with your library, project, or iMovie app. First, create a new library:
Next, create the test project using a built-in trailer template, then export it as a QuickTime video file:
Next, import the QuickTime video file into a new project in the new library:
If the new library and project work as expected, you've isolated the cause of your issue to the original library or project. Try to restore a previous version of the original library from a Time Machine or other backup.
Create another user account on your Mac, then test iMovie with the new user account.
Reset iMovie to default settings. Libraries won't be affected.
Delete iMovie, then redownload and reinstall it. Libraries won't be affected.
