How can I fix if iMovie is stuck on the first photo?

Movie (from scratch) is the one I always use. It’s now getting stuck on the first photo. 2 wks ago it was fine.

Hi,


In another thread on this forum, inserting a short video in the timeline cured an issue with transitions not appearing. You might try that to see if it shakes things loose with your freezing issue. It seems that the updates to iOS 18.2 and 18.3 caused some performance issues, and the freezing issue that you mention with photos may be one of them. Anyway, try inserting a short video and see what happens.
