On import from SD card some clips appear normal, many are black. I can hear audio on the black clips. I can see the video when imported to Photos, or in Lightroom.
I have tried making a "new" movie... same results.
All clips from same SD card, same camera, same time period. AVCHD format.
imac20, Mac OS X (10.6.4)
AVCHD sometimes creates issues when importing directly into iMovie.
Instead of importing directly into iMovie, try importing to your desktop using the Image Capture app on your Mac, then opening the movie in Quicktime Player, and then saving it. That should give you a .mov file that will import into iMovie.

Hi,
Are you still using Snow Leopard, a very outdated operating system, as your profile shows? Are you also using iMovie 8 or 9?

No, OS is Sierra 10.12.6 and the iMovie is 2017. I got this trouble and downloaded the current version of iMovie yesterday.
Video clips black on import.
