iMovie crashes on startup I've just installed iMovie from the App Store.  When I run it, it crashes after the Welcome wizard.  I've rebooted, deleted and reinstalled, and the same thing happens each time.

I've tried opening with Cmd and deleting preferences, I've deleted everything in ~/Movies, ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iMovieApp, it still crashes every time


  2014 MBP, 16 GB RAM, just installed 10.13


There may be vestiges of old iMovie installs/projects laying around; if there are, I'm OK with completely deleting them, if someone can tell me how to hunt them all down

I have a MBP that does this. Are you running an external display mirrored with the lid closed? Mine works if I open imovie with the lid up.
