    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!
