I am having a problem with iMovie, I create a new movie project, I then import a *.dv clip into the project, create a tiltle and a fade out at the end.
I then save the project and whilst I am logged in all is fine.
I logout and login again at some other time, when I do this iMovie will load but imediately complain about some file and crash every time.
Some things I have noted and a workaround:
1. This problem is related to the user account I am using, if I use a new account all works fine until the next logout and then that account won't work.
2. Importing the project into a new account seems ok.
3. Workaround:
Store the project somewhere common to all
Create a new account called accountname
Open a terminal window
cd /Users
tar cvf accountname.tar accountname
mv accountname accountname.old
tar xvf accountname.tar
Launch iMovie works again
Load up the project no problem.
But will crash all over again the next time I login.
This is a horrid workaround but I was desperate as I needed to get my new Formac Studio up and working to duplicate some news reels for a client from VHS.
Has anybody got any ideas as to whats up here.
Many thanks in advance.
