It might be because you are using 60fps clips in a 30fps project, and have the iMovie preference "Apply Slow Motion Automatically" checked. That would slow the 60fps clips to 30fps.

Clips are not showing timeline in IMovie, only as one solid clip When I drag clips into IMovie, the clip is being shown as one small clip, not a continuous set of frames which is a nuisance as you can't see the gaps in between takes. I have not adjusted any settings in the program, only discovered this when dragging clips in the work area to edit. Could someone advise how to get the clips to display as the set of frames instead of one small solid clip?

imovie stop transition clipping video Linked to Search Results Transition is cutting off previous clip - Apple Community I have a selection of short 4 -6 second video clips wishing someome happy birthday but when I add a transition then it cuts over a second of each clip. I tried adding freeze fame but the shortest possible time for that seems to be 3 seconds, surely it would not be hard to stop transitions clipping the clips down!!!!!!!
