No longer able to export iMovie...

Just upgraded my MacMini to iOS Sonoma and now when I try to export a project in iMovie (Share -> file) I can't even get a pop up window. What is going wrong? Have 45 GB storage, no funky characters in title of project, and can't even get a window when I try to export a file that I've already been successful at before.

Hello myra191,  

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities.  


First try restarting your Mac. If the issue continues, be sure that you have all macOS and App Store updates installed:



If the issue continues, please restart your Mac in safe mode before testing iMovie again: Start up your Mac in safe mode


Please also be sure to follow these instructions when exporting your project: Share or export your iMovie project.


Please reply back if you need more help.

Cheers!

Both the OS and the iMovie app are up to date. I restarted it normally and it still won't export to file (window never pops up). I tried to start up my Mac in safe mode but got an error: "Safe mode not supported. Safe mode does not support OpenGL hardware acceleration, which is required to run iMovie. Please reboot normally and try again."
