The values of the default durations for photos and transitions are not visible in iMovie preferences. It seems that the numbers entered are in black on a black background ⚠ since it is possible to change them but the value is only visible immediately after changing it when it has a temporary blue background.
If others confirm this I will send a bug report to Apple.

Thanks,

Try swinging a dead chicken 😁
What does your panel look like? Could it be a wrong contrast setting for the display, a color calibration problem, or accessibility system preferences?
Hi, Geoff,
The displays are working normally for me.
Now I know why you have so many points - and I have to humbly give you 10 more.
The chicken didn't work (and it took a long time to clear up the mess 👿) but the cause was 'Increase contrast' being set in Accessibility settings.
Rather ironic since it does the exact opposite so can realy be considered a bug after all.
Thanks,
Geoff.
You're welcome, Geoff. I'll take the chicken back, I may need it myself.
Ironically, I just managed to make the duration times invisible as well 😁
There is definitely an issue with these two textfields.
It happens, whenever I try to set the photo duration to a very short value, less than the duration of the transitions, which cannot work anyway, but then the Photo duration number or transitions number will go completely black, alternately.
My number in the Preference window were also black on black as well. I say "were" because I switched back to the previous version of 10.1.1. I could not stand the way they changed selecting a piece of a clip by requiring the user to hold down the "R" key. This disrupted my workflow too much. It was a very bad decision to change this most basic of functions.
I can do that without a problem:
