Dropping pictures and video to the time line works fine, However, when I press the play button it doesn't scroll through the selected material. It either shows just the first picture or the screen goes black. What I've tried is tuning it on and off. Deleting the app and reinstalling. Same result. Tried this on the iPhone same result. iMovie works on theMac. Very confusing.
iPad Air, iPadOS 18
For projects consisting of photos, inserting a video anywhere in the time line is a workaround until Apple addresses the issue.

I don't know when Apple might address the issue, but hopefully it will be at the next update at least.

This worked! Thank you so much for the suggestion. I know my students will be excited to see there is a solution.
I have the same issue - the pictures and video to timeline works fine but then it just shows the first picture when I try to play it. Did anyone get a response to this - I am trying to create something for an event and wondering will I be able to use iMovies which I have always previously used.
I have a similar issue with iMovie on my iPad Pro. The large preview screen doesn’t move or allow me to add transitions to my photos. I have turned it off and on and reinstalled the app, with no luck. Apple support has assured me that engineers are working on the issue. I didn’t notice a problem until I installed iOS 18.3.1 on February 8th. It’s now February 24th.

Thanks wyoy - helpful but as you say really difficult to edit, especially when adding music and a lot of photos. appreciate the support.
Any idea how long that may take..?
I hope this is fixed soon, as I have a deadline. Any updates?
Thanks for this chief worked a treat for my boys homework 👍
You are welcome. Glad I could help.

This is just unacceptable Apple. . . .at least tell us you are working on a solution. I need my iMovie.
iMovie doesn't work on iPad.
