About four months ago, my web server kept getting pummelled into the ground almost daily, and I couldn’t figure out why it [...]
I can’t take credit for this cure. A life-long nurse told me about it a few years ago, and it’s worked for us ever since. I’m not sure if she’d be comfortable having her name revealed here, so I won’t do it. But I’ll always be grateful to her for the advice.

You can try bothering with the preferences files, or the codecs, or the color profiles, as the forums tell you to do, or you can do the following:
Go to your home folder > Movies > iMovie Events. Locate the folder with the last clips you imported. Delete the iMovie Cache and iMovie Thumbnails folders.
