MacOS – iMovie does not open anymore with error in Console: -10699

applicationserrorimoviemacos

I used iMovie a lot in the past days (Mac Mini Late 2012 – Mac OS X 10.10) but now if I press the icon in the dock it just does nothing. With spotlight search the same and opening it from the Finder makes no change either. I looked at the Console and the error was the following:

18:51:18 Dock: LSOpenFromURLSpec(file://Applications/iMovie.app/) failed with -10699

In some other forum it said to deinstall and install the Adobe Flash but that did not work. Also I rebooted my Mac which made no change.

Has anyone got an idea how to fix it without reinstalling (if possible)?

Ok so I reinstalled iMovie which made it work again. (I didn't want to do it since I thought it would remove my project I was working on)
