Crash update?

I just updated iMovie and now it's not working properly. As I drop down my video it starts playing slow motion. Anyone else having this issue?

Try checking your iMovie preferences (iMovie/Preferences) and uncheck the box (if it is checked) to turn off automatic slow mo. If automatic slow mo box is checked it would slow down clips that are shot with a faster frame rate than the other clips in the project.

Also, check your iMovie speed settings to make sure that they are not inadvertently set to a slower speed.

If still no luck, try resetting preferences by opening iMovie while holding down the Option and Command keys and selecting to delete preferences in the box that appears. iMovie will open in a new library. Reopen your old library to get back to you projects. Now see if the slo mo problem is resolved.
