Photos not showing up in iMovie

My photos in iMovie wont show up even though i have given full access. It doesn’t change photos either. A photo only shows up when i drag the timeline

Hi,


For projects consisting only of photos the issue of the timeline freezing on the first photo is a bug that Apple will need to address. I have read that their engineers are working on it. Meanwhile, a workaround is to insert a video anywhere in the timeline. That will unlock the freeze so that you can do your editing. After finishing your editing you can delete the video and export the project. It will play fine.
