Imovie will not import video from mov files

Imove was working on my newly installed yosemite. All my camera files are shot in .mov and I often import them to imovie for editing. Suddenly imovie only shows the video on the thumbnails for editing. The event screen stays totally black. Export to mp4 yields a black screen with audio only playing.

MacBook, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1), late 2009

Hi Dave,

What version of the OS X and iMovie did you upgrade from when you installed OS X Yosemite? Did you see a prompt to update your projects and events? Take a look at the resource below for more information regarding this process and how it affects your files.
