Q: I cannot access my photos in my iMovie.

How can I get my photos to show up in my iMovie on my Macbook pro? The app doesn't seem to access them. I can import them to the strip from my desktop but when I play the movie it is all black. Sound is ok, just no pictures.

    Hi,

     

    You didn't mention what version of iMovie you are using, or what operating system.   iMovie 9 is not entirely compatible with El Capitan, and that can cause the type of issue you are observing.   If you are running iMovie 9 with El Capitan, your solution is to upgrade to current version of iMovie (10.1.2).   iMovie 10.1.2 has a very different structure and interface than iMovie 9, so it will take some getting used to.
