Bizarre iMovie behavior


  • Subject: Bizarre iMovie behavior
  • From: Rick Mann <email@hidden>
  • Date: Sat, 05 May 2012 22:15:48 -0700

Apologies for not posting a dev question directly, but the nature of this problem requires OS X-experienced devs to solve. A few others online have experienced this problem, but no one has posted a solution.

I'm running the latest Lion on a late-model MacBook Pro with plenty of RAM and disk. iMovie launches fine and appears to run, but then the UI begins to break down. For example, if you attempt to resize the window, it shrinks a bit, and then major portions of the window UI disappear. The window says mostly grey, but lots of widgets are gone.

More importantly, Console shows stuff like what I've copied below. iMovie still interacts with the user, you can choose menu items, hover over where movie clips would be if they were drawn, and see the preview update accordingly, etc.

I tried re-installing iMovie from disk. Same behavior.

What could cause it to go out to lunch like that? Is there something more fundamental broken in my system? All other apps appear to behave fine.

Some of the other reports online had similar unrecognized selector errors, but varied widely in what the selector was.

Appreciate any help. Thanks!

5/5/12 10:03:00.079 PM iMovie: Cannot update for observer <NSKeyValueObservance 0xe0d4590> for the key path "currentProject.editInfo.themeName" from <ProjectController 0xdb0cd10>, most likely because the value for the key "currentProject" has changed without an appropriate KVO notification being sent. Check the KVO-compliance of the ProjectController class.
