iMovie Crashing for a particular Project

Question

I have a working iMovie library. All the projects in it are working and I can open them except one particular project. This project was also working fine but then I copied one emoji in a title and then it crashed. After this, as soon as I try to open/share/duplicate the project, the iMovie crashes.

I have already tried to access the project from other login user account. Following are the top few lines of the error report.

Ouch. Access violation. That's a big bad bug in the iMovie code, nothing of your doing. To be reported to Apple, if there is any way. Other people might know if there are workarounds, but I don't.
