iMovie in OSX crashes
Students in my class have been editing movies on my 667 G4. Out of about 20 moives five of them crashed and could not be reloaded, the program crashed as soon a they loaded the clips, and on two of them we couldn't load the sound tracks at the end, the program crashed every time we tried. ON three of these crahes, the original tape had to be re-imported. I never had this problem with the OS9 version. Anybody know what's going on? I'd hate to be back on OS9 next year, but this performance is simply un-acceptable.

iMovie is quite crashprone on my B/W G3. (it crashes once an hour, quite disappointing),
but now (this problem just apperared this afternoon), I can't load iMovie anymore: it quits on launch.
I had a big problem last night.
iMovie crashed while saving my project and when I tried to re-lauch it, iMovie said the my project file was corrupted and that it couldn't load the movie.
I almost cried, because it was my first 1h+ project and I thought all my work was destroyed, even if all individual files sill sit in the "media" folder.
I discovered the the project file is in fact a text file listing all entries. I deleted the wrong entry (a reference of an AIFF file was missing) and I could load my restored project after that.
PS: don't forget to work with a copy of the file.
type/creator for iMovie projects are TeXT/Hway
