Why are photos not scrolling in iMovie project with music?

I have created a project, attached photos, and uploaded music. When I press play the musics plays but the photos do not scroll. I can’t figure out what I am doing wrong. Any ideas!

Hi,


If you are using iMovie for iPad or iPhone, and running iOS 18.2 or later, there is a bug that causes the video playback to freeze on the first photo in projects consisting solely of photos. Apple will need to address this. Meanwhile, a workaround is to insert a short video anywhere in the timeline and that will unfreeze the playback. You can then finish your editing, delete the video, and export.
