How do I fix flicker in imovie

I recently updated my iMovie to iMovie 10.1.8, and now all the videos I put on it have this weird flicker on them. It's like the color will suddenly change mid clip. This never happened on any of the previous versions, what can I do to fix it?

iMovie 10, macOS Sierra (10.12.6)

Flickering video in iMovie When I try to edit a video (which has no flickering originally) in iMovie, the video starts showing flickering. When I try to replay it, it disappears. But when I export it, the flickering reappears. This is a new problem, maybe for a month now.

iMovie Clips and Images look underexposed when imported For some reason every time I import a clip or image into my iMovie project the colors change so that the clip or image looks slightly overexposed and then every time I open the project the issue repeats itself and alters all the clips and images again blowing them out even more. This is not just an editor issue, if i proceed to export the movie the issue persists within the exported movie so the images are still blown out. What's even more strange is that in the thumbnail on the timeline the image looks normal. I am currently running macOS High Sierra using iMovie '11 version 9.0.8 I have made sure that there are no settings on that could auto alter or color correct. If anyone has had this issue or can help me solve it please let me know.

Problems with video clips not working in IMovie 10.3.3 Since I upgraded to IMovie10.3.3, when I drag certain video clips (from my media) into a movie project, the video is frozen like a still picture with a red bar along the bottom. I need those clips work in my projects! Some clips can be dragged down and work fine. Others, like the ones I need, don't work. This + thing is a joke too! When I click on the + to insert any video clip, a message says Missing File. ???? They are in my library. Bring back the old iMovie! Never had issues like this!

Hi,

Try opening iMovie while holding down the Option and Command keys, and selecting to delete preferences in the box that appears.

Update to High Sierra.

If still a problem , re-download iMovie 10.1.8.
