imovie duplicate movie

I can duplicate some movies in iMovie and cannot other movies.

I would like to duplicate the last movie I made, but each time I choose to do so, nothing happens.

What steps are you doing to duplicate the movie?


Try opening iMovie while holding down the Option and Command keys and selecting to delete preferences in the box that

appears. iMovie will open in a new library. Reopen your old library to get back to your projects. Now see if you can duplicate the movie projects that previously would not duplicate.

As I mentioned in my earlier post, what steps are you taking to duplicate your project?


For a workaround, you can open your original project and do an Edit/Select All, Edit/Copy, of all the media in your project at one time, and then Edit/Paste it into a newly created project. Your edits will carry over. That will give you a duplicate project.
