Hello lollytt,

After reviewing your post, It sounds like you are trying to import photos to iMovie but it is not working. I would recommend you read this article, it shows two different ways you can import photos to iMovie.

Add Photos images to an iMovie project - Apple Support

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day.

Hi Mario49,

Thanks for the article. But for some reason iMovie is not showing my iPhone 6s plus pictures. I would see the pictures in the pane for import but when I add it to the timeline is a black. It would show the videos but not the pictures. If I try to import pictures taken with my Nikon camera it would work. I took a number of pictures with my iPhone in order to create a movie and it is now working.

I'm having the same issue and I assume it's due to the "live photo" element of the iPhone 6s. I don't have a solution but I'm sure that is the issue!
