iMovie does not transition between photos while making a movie or playing it

iMovie does not transition between photos when making a movie or playing it. It will just sit on one photo playing the music but will not show the next photo. Every photo has a transition and I have changed them to different transitions but still just one photo. I can move the slider with my finger and it will go to the next photo, but stays there unless I touch the slider again.

It is the same on my iPhone and iPads.

I am using the latest update 18.2.1

I have been using imovie for many years, now i can’t. What is the fix? I can’t believe the updates can ruin it without fixing it. I can move manually but that’s not useful, completely unacceptable.

I saw it helped by using a movie clip, but this can´t be the solution, if I only want pictures. It worked perfectly well last week, but suddenly not now…

Looks like vibe coding strikes again.
