Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
Hi,
I'm facing a weird situation with iMovie 10.1.14 on Mojave.
Video File perfectly nice when preview on QuickTime but imported to the iMovie, Viewer shown Black Screen but sound was available!
Sound is working on Event Window as well as Timeline window, but playhead doesn't move!
What's wrong? What should I do?
** Already:
Restart
SMC & PRAM reset
Reinstalled iMovie
Converted Video to .mov file
Sometimes lowering the resolution can eliminate the black screen. Try exporting out of QuickTimePlayer at a lower resolution and see if that works better in iMovie.
What exactly is the resolution and frame rate of the clip?

Hi,
Try converting the .mov file to H.264, Mp4/AAC. You can use the free download Handbrake for that purpose. Here's the link for the Handbrake download:
Another thing you can try is to delete preferences. Open iMovie while holding down the Option and Command keys and select to delete preferences in the box that appears. iMovie will open in a new library. Reopen your old library to get back to your projects.

Apparently it wasn't the source. Glad you were able to solve it.
I assume that you used Time Machine to revert to your previous iMovie version?
Reverting back is fine for this instance, but you don't want to be frozen there. Lots of people are using iMovie 10.1.14 and Mojave with no problem. At least, not hearing much complaint here. So you should try to get to the bottom of it. Might be harder now that you have reverted back. You could try calling Apple Support and see if they have any suggestion as to what is causing the problem. They might tell you to upgrade to Catalina and iMovie 10.1.14. But maybe they will have other suggestions.

Thanks for help!
Unfortunately, non of the above work for me! Sad huh...
Finally, what I can do is to downgrade iMovie (10.1.10).
I really hope someone could give a hand to solve the bugs!
So far was using 1080!
In fact, installed 10.1.10, problem solved with exactly the same source! So, wasn't the source issue?
iMovie 10.1.14 ➨ Mojave ➨ Viewer Black Screen (only sound is working)
