I have a clever makeshift 'solution' if you need to get that vital project out... I searched forums for ages with no luck until I solved this for myself so i thought I'd tell you about it...

My project got corrupted and made iMovie crash when I tried to play fullscreen or export the video.

SOLUTION: Make the video viewing pane as large as possible and then use 'ScreenFlow'* software to capture it whilst you preview it. You won't recover HD quality, but at least you can get a perfect 480i copy for YouTube.

Here is my real example which I rescued using the above method so you can see for yourself:

* obviously you can use any software that will do video capture of your screen.. if you're mega-desperate, you could point a video camera at your screen.. if you're mega-mega-desperate you could point a mirror at your screen and use photobooth!! perfect for that lo-fi style
