I'm having an issue with iMovie. My Mac crashed and rebooted while iMovie was open.

When reopening iMovie it said something about __Trash being corrupted with options to 'Repair' or 'Continue'

I clicked Repair.

However I now can't export/save in anything other than 720p when creating a new Movie Project.


I know the video resolution is set by the first video clip added to a Project. I have tried deleting all Media and all Projects and starting with a new Project. I've tried adding 1080p, 2.7k & 4k videos (res verified in Files).

e.g.



Add this video to a new Project with no other media:




Weirdly if I go to the Media section of iMove instead of a Project and find the clip, it will let me Share at the correct resolutions? Which obviously doesn't help when you are wanting to use multiple edited media clips.


I'm a little lost on what else to try. I've deleted all media/projects from iMovie. Closed the app and rebooted the machine. But the problem prevails. frown
